Absolutely love Rusi's work. Not only did she did it promptly, she did it very smartly. First time I've seen someone altered a shirt in a way that could be revert back for adjustments. Would recommend to anyone.

Highly Recommend Alli went above and beyond. She was driving past on a Sunday afternoon and picked my shirts up. The alterations were completed overnight. Alli worked a couple of suburbs from my home so graciously offered to drop them back. I barely lifted a finger. The shirts turned out exactly as requested. She was friendly, efficient and trusting. I recommend her being used for whatever task she says she can get done.

Top Shirt Alterations related questions
An experienced tailor can shorten or make an oversized shirt smaller by shortening the hem, sleeves, and taking its sides in. However, it can be quite tricky to do it the other way around since shirts don't have extra material built into them. If you can't find a shirt for your size, you can always buy a new one that's a size or two bigger, then have it altered as you see fit.
You can, especially since you know your physique and measurements better. Keep in mind, though, that alterations can be a bit challenging and one small mistake can make it worse than when it was untouched. It's best to leave the task to professionals so you can make sure that you're getting the right shirt alterations and adjustments..
No. Your Tasker can bring the necessary tools for the service, which most likely include professional shears, sewing machines, steam irons, and seam rippers. If you happen to have any of these on-hand or prefer using your equipment, you can lend them to your Tasker. In case you need extra materials, you can also ask them to drop by the nearest fabric store and get them for you.
It depends on how extensive your shirt alteration requirements are. Standard t-shirt alterations like adjusting the sides, adding darts, and shortening the sleeves can only take 30 minutes to an hour. However, complex procedures like replacing collars or cuffs and lengthening the sleeves or hem can take a few days or a week. For urgent alterations, feel free to coordinate a schedule with your Tasker.
You can pay attention to where your shoulder ends and where your arm begins. The shirt shoulder seams should sit on top of those spots. For tees, sleeves should end right in the middle of your armpit and elbow. They should not be tenting away nor too restrictive. You can also try pinching the fabric on either side of your torso and see if you're able to hold at least 2-3 inches of it.
Tailoring involves creating bespoke pieces of clothing that are custom-fitted according to your exact size and measurements. Alterations, on the other hand, are done to existing clothing items that need length adjustments or necessary clothing repairs. The process usually focuses on specific areas, like hems, sleeves, and buttons.

What do shirt alteration services include?
askers can provide anything you may need a shirt alteration service, from altering your shirt's collar down to its hem. You may be having a fashion photo shoot or preparing for an upcoming special event. Maybe someone delivered it as a gift but the shirt doesn't fit you properly, or you just want to readjust your clothes for everyday wear? Whatever the reason is, Taskers near you can give the alteration service depending on your requirements. Here are some of the services they can do for you:
Altering the sides
If your shirt is too big or loose, your Tasker can alter it for you by taking its sides in to fit your torso flawlessly. The exact shape of your shirt can either make or break your silhouette, so you also want to keep an eye on how it looks on your chest and stomach area. You can let your Tasker know how tight you want your shirt to be, or let them do their magic! Just remember that tighter shirts can restrict certain movements and make you feel more snug than usual as well.
Altering the sleeves
One of the most common ways to alter your shirt's sleeves is to make them narrower. For long sleeves, a good fit shouldn't be too tight on your wrists, but should also not be too loose to the point of being droopy or baggy. Also, if your unbuttoned sleeves hit further than the break of your wrist, they need to be shortened to their perfect length. Ideally, a half-inch of your shirt should be exposed when your hands are at rest by your sides.
Altering the collar and cuffs
Collars and cuffs usually get the most dirt and grime than the rest of your shirt. When this happens, they limp down, look sloppy, and can even ruin your entire look. Expert tailors can easily lend a hand and make the necessary alterations. Your collar and cuffs don't exactly have to be the same garment or fabric as your shirt, but you can never go wrong with a white contrast. To take your look up a notch, you can also get someone to engrave a personalised design for your collar studs or cufflinks!
Altering the buttons
When you buy a discounted shirt, chances are it may have loose buttons or buttons that don't match the style that you prefer. When they're not appropriately sewn, shirt buttons can also be easily ripped, lost, and damaged, especially when you have your shirt laundered. You don't have to throw away your shirt just because of a few missing buttons! You can have polo shirt alterations done to fix your problem. You can also try getting a professional laundry service that you trust to avoid further damages to your shirt.
