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! 

Wedding dress alteration 

If you need a last-minute wedding dress or bridal wear alterations, Airtasker is here to help! Put up a task to find nearby dressmakers who can alter your dress even at short notice. Whether you have a wedding dress that doesn’t fit quite right or a vintage wedding dress that needs a bit of restyling, Taskers can help you out.  

Our platform connects you with dressmakers who work with made to measure wedding dresses, mother of the bride outfits, and bridesmaid dresses. We’ll even help you find experts who can plan your wedding, prepare the wedding menu, and photograph your beautiful wedding day! 

Dress repair 

Book same-day clothing repair for your outfit emergency, or fix up a favourite shirt you haven’t worn in a while. Dressmakers can repair any clothing issue, from fixing holes in trousers to replacing broken zips. Taskers can also stitch up the lining of a dress or sew buttons onto a polo shirt. 

Sewing lessons

Airtasker helps you find sewing experts who can share their expertise and teach you basic sewing skills. If you have the time for and interest in sewing, you can find affordable sewing lessons via our platform.

Pattern maker/dress maker

$200

Lane Cove West NSW, Australia

16th Jan 2021

I’m in need of someone who can create and bring designs into life based on sketches. This person needs to be able to make patterns and sew on a professional level. You don’t need to have the sewing machine necessarily as I have an industrial and top notch sewing machine myself. At the moment this job is on a casual basis but if everything goes well, there is the possibility of on going work in the future with better pay. The price is for one piece of clothing and there is at least about 10 designs that need to be done so $200 x 10. There could be more than 10 designs as well. Please only apply if you can do complicated design pattern making and sewing in a clean professional manner. There is currently no set deadline for this task.

Lola was great and professional in helping create my first design and brining my vision to reality. I would definitely recommend her.

Dressmaker to help girl make skirt

My 10 yr old daughter needs a dressmaker or someone more sewing capable than me to help her build her dream puffy skirt. We have all the material and the pattern but I can’t make sense of it and don’t want to ruin it. It’s meant to be a McCall’s Easy Pattern :) It would be ideal if you’re in the area and could come to my house or alternatively we could come to you. My sewing machine is probably fine but it’s very fussy for me and we don’t get along, so maybe it would be good if you had a machine as a backup plan.
