Recent Shirt Alterations reviews in Brisbane

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.

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:
Clothing alteration service - 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, like selecting between chinos or khakis, before choosing or customising a pattern and cutting out the pieces.
Then, these clothes or dress alterations near you will 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.
Clothing alteration service - 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, formal pants repair near you, corporate wear alterations, or suit alterations near you, a professional tailor 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 alteration service - 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 near you to help with dress shortening, garment shortening, and even school uniform alterations for those kids who won’t stop growing.
Clothing adjustments and shirt alterations 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 alteration service - clothing repairs
When your favourite dress or your slim or skinny jeans break, you don’t have to throw them away. Get professional clothes repair services near you 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.

Shorten an upholstered bed head that is too high for the space
$200
Morningside QLD, Australia
10th May 2025
It’s a brand new fabric covered bed head (which can be detached from the bed) and it’s too high for the space it’s in. It’s right in front of a window. We would like it shorted and reupholstered using the same fabric. I think this job probably requires a professional upholsterer. It’s basically a piece of timber covered in padding and fabric.

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.
