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.

Shorten a skirt
$30
Ashfield NSW, Australia
23rd Aug 2024
I have a long skirt that I need to be shortened by about 10cm. I will be wearing it to an event next weekend. Please see photo attached. I would like to keep the sequin design at the bottom of the skirt, so I would like to shorten it from the top if possible.
I needed 2 items to be altered within a short timeframe. Both were not easy jobs as they required work to undo prior stitching and change the structure. Despite this, Jay was able to get the job done faster than expected at a high standard. She went above and beyond to ensure it fit my body properly. She had a great eye for detail and made suggestions on how to make it better. Thank you Jay for your incredible work. You were truly amazing!

I’ve just purchased some new over the counter curtains as my current rental has only provided sheer; they are too cold & not providing privacy coverage… So I have now purchased some insulated types. There are 4 x in total. 135cm x 250cm. The length needs to be around 210cm. Not a difficult job… however I have no idea how to sew or alter them & I just don’t have time atm… thanks!
Lovely lady & very good work. I’ll be taking more items back to her. 👍
