What does a clothing alteration include?
Your seamstress or tailor is skilled in working with textiles, but especially clothing, to create, repair, and alter clothes. Here are some of the most popular alteration services and what you can expect when you book them:
Sewing
Need some custom sewing work to create a design from scratch or custom-fit to your size? Hire a seamstress or dressmaker to create or customise your dress or garment with great attention to detail. They’ll start by measuring your shape and size with a soft tape measure to ensure the perfect fit. They’ll consult with you on designs and fabrics, before choosing or customising a pattern and cutting out the pieces. They’ll sew your garment or dress, taking care to finish off any edges with an overlocking stitch. Most dressmakers will request you to come in for a final fitting where you can try on the (mostly finished) garment and they can make final adjustments.
Formal wear alterations
When you want to look your best, it’s so important that your clothing is tailored to perfectly fit. Whether you need bridal alterations, school graduation alterations, wedding dress alterations, corporate wear alterations, or suit alterations nearby your location, a professional seamstress can help. They’ll take your exact measurements and then ask you to try on the outfit or dress, ideally with the shoes you plan to wear. Then they’ll note or mark up any parts that need taking in or loosening, and where the hem needs to sit based on your shoe height. They’ll use a mixture of machine and hand-sewing techniques to alter your clothing and finalise everything with a final fitting before your event.
Clothing adjustments
Most clothes you buy off the rack won’t fit perfectly, or you might need your favourite clothes adjusted for your body shape over time. Book clothing alterations around your area to help with dress shortening, garment shortening, and even school uniform alterations for those kids who won’t stop growing. Clothing adjustments usually involve taking seams in or out and adjusting the hem. Most hems have a few centimetres of extra fabric, so you can add extra length, or take it up for the perfect fit.
Clothing repairs
When your favourite dress or pants break, you don’t have to throw them away. Get professional tailors or seamstresses to take a look and see if they can save your clothes with techniques like zipper repair, seam repair, new lining, hole patching, button sewing, and more. Extend the life of your clothes - it’s better for the environment and much more budget-friendly, too.

A queen size fur throw blanket needs to be cut into 3 horizontal pieces. They will be used as a lounge protector and thrown in the washing machine if something gets spilt onto it. Queen size fur blanket throw Dimensions:2.2m long long x 1.95m wide approx Cut 1.95m into 3 pieces: Piece 1: 40cm (i.e. 1.95m minus 40cm) Piece 2: 90cm Piece 3: then whatever the remainder is, roughly 65cm left It's thick so a seamstress told me they can't do it. So I need someone who has a sewing machine or can do it by hand in a way that it can be thrown into the washing machine again and again with no issues Here's a video: https://fyopage.wixsite.com/furblankie Let me know if it's not clear from the video and you need a better video Flexible with dates getting this done I can drop it off to you or you can pick it up.

Outstanding experience. Unbelievable work. I couldn't recommend her enough. She did a phenomenal job and was so kind to me, helping me out and getting this one in the blink of an eye. Wow! I will come back & recommend her to all family & friends. This is one of the most amazing AirTaskers & freelancers I have met! She really made my whole week. If you want someone who is very positive to work with and cares about the work you give her, she is it!

Sophie was so helpful! I dropped my dress off to her place the same day the offer was accepted. She was so thorough and has an amazing attention to details. She even offered advice on how to enhance the dress even more! Her communication was perfect and she got the job done earlier than expected. I could rave on about her but I’ll stop there. Highly recommend!
