What does a tailor do?

This service covers tailoring, clothing alterations, and sometimes even repair for different kinds of garments. This includes men’s suits, women’s coats, trousers, wedding dresses, and even down jackets. In the case of made-to-measure and bespoke tailoring, your wardrobe will show off your personality and fit your lifestyle in a way that off-the-rack can’t match.

When booking a clothes tailor near you through our platform, you get some great added perks, such as picking a reviewed and rated tailor in your area, having a tailor go to your home or office, and working within your budget! Do note that some details may vary depending on the tailor you hire, so make sure that your task post is as detailed as possible. 

Alteration tailor near you

Whether you need stitching near you or any alteration, Taskers can do most tailoring work and alter a garment to fit you better. If you plan to get an off-the-rack item and take it to clothing alterations near you, it’s best to choose a size that fits the widest point of your body. From there, your local tailor will take in or cinch the rest of the item. Tailors can also make sleeves or pant legs slimmer, adjust the straps and bust darts of a dress, shorten the sleeves of a shirt, add the lining, and add buttons or hook-and-eye clasps. 

On the other hand, a tailor cannot make a garment bigger or longer. They also can’t fix a bad shoulder fit on a jacket or coat. Also, it is inadvisable to let out the stitches in fabrics like linen, cotton, and silk, since holes will show. 

Clothing repair by experienced tailors

Most local tailors near you can also repair clothing. This can mean fixing a zipper, stopping a hem from fraying, repairing a rip, or reweaving a hole. When you book a clothing tailor near you to repair your item, they’ll tell you if the item can still be repaired, and what the risks (and cost) of the repair would be. They can also offer advice on how to better care for your clothing or avoid further damage, such as using a mesh bag in the laundry for your more delicate items or getting your clothes dry-cleaned instead.

Made-to-measure and bespoke tailoring

Looking for a suit tailor near you for bespoke clothing? Tailoring or altering your off-the-rack garment is a fast and affordable way to make clothes fit you better. But if you want your wardrobe to fit you to a T, made-to-measure or bespoke tailoring is the way to go. While these services are offered at tailor shops near you, Airtasker lets you book a bespoke tailor who can go to your home or office. 

No need to worry about going to a tailor shop near you - Taskers can provide the supplies, take your measurements and requests (or in the case of made-to-measure, let you choose a pattern), and assist you with the fittings! This service saves time while still making sure you look stunning at that upcoming event - skilled Taskers can help you with planning for the big day as well!

I'm looking for a stylist to help buy suitable clothes.

$180

Melbourne CBD VIC 3000, Australia

3rd Dec 2025

I'm male, over 40 years old. I don't have much experience buying clothes. I'm looking for someone to help me define the style and buy clothes that look good on me. I'm certainly not a fashionable person and I don't require you to be a professional stylist. However, I'd like you to have a good aesthetic sense and esperience in dressing up males, knowing which details are important. I strongly think in-person would be better than online. So this price is for the 1-hour session when we meet together either at your place or mine. I'm sloppy in dressing up. I don't know if this works for me. If yes, we can continue and go shopping together. Note: the cost here is basically the hourly rate. It only include the initial in-person consultation, not the additional hours afterward (e.g. shopping...)

I am so lucky I chose Phil! I was hesitant because his profile was new, but I was absolutely amazed by his professionalism and expertise in fashion and styling. I only looked for friendly help, but got so much more! Phil is friendly, enthusiastic, and a pleasure to talk with. He is extremely knowledgeable about styling, fabrics, and colors, and offers a wonderful variety of fresh ideas that I genuinely enjoy exploring.
