Shelley is a fantastic seamstress with a big smile and a hundred stories from a life well-lived. She is both generous and professional, and did a great job on a difficult project on a shoe-string budget. Highly recommended and incredible value, suggest you see her now before she comes to her senses and starts charging twice the price.

What does a clothing alteration include?
Your seamstress or tailor is skilled in working with textiles, but especially clothing, to create, repair, and alter clothing. Here are some of the most popular clothing 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. 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, corporate wear alterations, or suit alterations, 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 clothing you buy off the rack won’t be the perfect fit, or you might need your favourite clothes adjusted as your body changes shape over time. Book clothing alterations near you 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 a professional to take a look and see if they can save your garment with techniques like zipper repair, seam repair, new lining, hole patching, button sewing, and more. Extend the life of your clothing - it’s better for the environment and much more budget-friendly, too.

Emergency tailor - faulty zipper track
$150
Potts Point NSW, Australia
7th Dec 2022
A dress I was meant to wear tonight (brand new) has a faulty zipper track that won't zip up past a certain point. I'm hoping to find a tailor or seamstress who can take a look at the zipper and see if anything can be done before 4pm tonight. There is no fabric caught in the zipper and I've tried lubricating the track. I will pay for your time even if the zipper cannot be repaired today. - Due date: Before Thursday, 8 December 2022
Lyndall completely solved a dress's stubborn zipper -- initially it was so bad that I thought the zipper needed to be replaced, but Lyndall was able to save the day with some small fixes. She was so fast, helpful, and the work was perfect. I can't explain what a lifesaver she is. A very efficient problem-solver who also happens to be a lovely person!

Silvana has been incredible to work with. Her confidence gave ME confidence for what would have been a tricky alteration with an asymmetric dress. She’s such a warm and friendly person and I definitely recommend her for your alteration needs. She was also able to complete it within a week! My dress now fits better than perfect, honestly the best fitting dress I’ve ever worn. Thank you so much Silvana, I’m so so grateful!
