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.Â
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.Â
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.Â
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.Â
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!

Southbank VIC, Australia

Hi! I am looking for a skilled, patient seamstress or tailor to come to my home for a 2.5 to 3-hour session. I have my own sewing machine and a pile of clothes that need altering. I know the basics of sewing, but I need professional help to get my confidence up. Here is what we will do together: * Do It For Me: There are a few precious, important pieces of clothing that I am too scared to ruin. I would love for you to alter these while I watch and learn your techniques. * Teach Me: For the rest of the session, I want you to hold my hand and guide me while I alter the easier pieces on my own machine. Basically, I need you to train me and build my confidence! Requirements: * Must have real experience with clothing alterations. * Patient, encouraging, and good at explaining things. * Happy to travel to my house and use my machine. If this sounds like a fun project for you, let me know! I am looking to get this done soon.

Looking to have 3 skirts get taken up, and one also tightened. Satin is a tricky material to sew so I’m looking for someone who can carefully do the job, and a preference for someone who can pick up and return the clothes to my home. Pretty standard satin skirts, but third one (not pictured) which I want shortened AND tightened has a more flowy edge. Will provide picture if required. So alterations would be: - satin skirts 1 &2 (different colours of browny grey one pictured) shortened - satin skirt 3 - shortened and taken in (to be tighter)
