What do dressmaker services include?

Dressmakers make or alter all types of womenswear, from everyday trousers to outfits for special occasions. A dressmaker usually specialises in dresses, such as summer dresses, prom dresses, and bridal gowns. Some dressmakers also work on menswear and childrenswear.  

Our platform connects you with custom dressmaking, dress alterations, and clothing repair services. Dressmakers can assist you with the following tasks. 

Bespoke dressmaking 

Recreate a favourite dress you no longer have or have a bespoke dress perfect for your shape and style. Dressmakers can sketch up an original design for you, or take inspiration from a photograph or existing garment. 

Dressmakers can make bespoke pieces, such as skirts, summer dresses, ball gowns, and costumes. If you’re looking for unique t-shirts to sell or to give as gifts to family, you can also hire a Tasker to print your designs onto t-shirts. 

Dress alteration 

Dress alteration ensures your clothes look and fit just the way you like it. A dressmaker can sew sleeves onto a maxi dress, tighten a dress around the waist, put a zip onto a dress, or adjust the length of your trousers. Have you found your dream prom dress online but the bust is a little too showy? No problem! Your seamstress can fix that up for you as well, by shortening the straps or stitching in between to close the gap. You can even have your gown dry cleaned before your special event. Our platform lets you get anything done!

Seamstress, dressmaker - Adelaide SA

$150

Adelaide SA, Australia

1st Jan 2023

I am looking for an experienced seamstress/dressmaker to make a Summer Sleep suit bag for my 7 year old son. The sleep suit will require the following; - Sleeping bag made with 400 thread count cotton outter - Wide fit design with stretch jersey cotton inserts on sides and shoulders for ease of movement - Sleeping bag has a bell shaped design to allow for natural hip and leg movement. - The lightweight sheeting material provides comfort on warmer nights - Seam-free internal stitching prevents irritation and rubbing. - Zipper with latch enclosure to prevent discomfort and rubbing on the neck The suit he is currently wearing is 135cm L (Shoulder to toe), so the suit would need to be longer than this. Happy to provide materials if necessary. The brand we usually buy is Ergopouch, so you can use this as a guide. He is autistic and has many sensory aversions to bedclothes, hence still prefers to sleep in a sleep suit. He won't sleep without a suit on, it's his routine and he won't break from that. Unfortunately we are no longer able to find suits big enough for him, and the suit he is currently wearing is far too warm for summer nights. This has lead to many sleepless nights for both him and myself. - Due date: Before Saturday, 7 January 2023
