Clothing Alterations - fairly simple, but unusual.
$20
Tea Tree Gully SA, Australia
27th Aug 2025
I have a pair of ruffled lace shorties that I would like altered to be [and this is the unusual part] crotchless. I have included pictures of the shorties that I'd like altered, and I have pictures to demonstrate what I'd like [but I won't include those]. Ideally, I would like this done by Friday 29/08 or Saturday morning 30/08 at the latest. I'm assuming it won't take long for someone who knows what they are doing. Unfortunately, I do not. I set the budget at $20 but understand it will likely cost more. I am located in Tea Tree Gully.


Knees did a fantastic job with my alterations. Highly recommend.

Alter a dress
$100
West Lakes SA, Australia
27th Jul 2025
To who ever can help me! I purchased a dress for a wedding in September. It doesn't quite fit. It has a zipper up the left side, it can zip up 3/4 of the way, any higher and it doesn't fit properly under my bust and accross my bust, under arms. Is there a way to make it fit and sit better but also make it less busty. I don't really want cleavage since it's for a family event. Where my hand is in the photo is where it won't really zip up from, it then becomes too tight and doesn't sit well.


Kathryn did an excellent job altering my dress – the fit is perfect and the work is beautifully done. She was so flexible and easy to communicate with throughout the whole process, which made everything stress-free. I’d happily recommend her to anyone needing alterations!

I have two thick curtains, I want them cut to be 1.2 metres in height. The width is ok and doesn't need to be altered. I did keep the little weights aside to be put back in when cut and hemmed properly, as I cut a lot of excess to make it easier. I'm more than happy to bring them to you and leave them overnight / for a day or two and pick them up again. Will assume each curtain will take an hour or less, and will budget for a highly experienced person to earn up to 50 bucks an hour to help me with this. The successful candidate will demonstrate examples of their work and experience.
