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!

$50
Braybrook VIC 3019, Australia
13th Aug 2025
I have a wedding coming up in november and I’m a groomsmen, but the place the groom had decided to purchase the suit from is out of town so I need to have measurements taken so I can tell the company what to alter before I arrive to try it on (the place is 5 hours away so I’m not making multiple trips) I’ve tried a couple spots around town but people are either busy or not interested as I don’t plan to buy a suit from them
Sewing: Chiffon outer-robe (fabric provided)
$400
Deer Park VIC 3023, Australia
9th Aug 2025
I have 4M of beige chiffon fabric and 4M of black chiffon fabric which I want made into two pieces of clothing (separate - one beige and one black). This job includes making BOTH the pieces. I want them to be the outer layers to go over abayas (like large, shapeless dresses for muslim women—think ‘caftan’) that I have; basically what I want produced is two open robes. I already have one of these ‘robes’ (in satin) that you can borrow to copy the pattern of, ideally as closely as possible. Can just be one layer (sheer) since it’s an outer garment. I would also like, if possible, one simple hidden button/press/fastening of some kind on the front of each to keep the fabric closed together at the front. This isn’t super necessary though if too hard - especially to do nice and neatly working with chiffon fabric. We can discuss this? Example reference of the kind of desired end product attached (white robe pictured - I would like similar but one beige, one black).

Very basic sewing- machine
$50
Sydenham VIC, Australia
9th Jun 2025
I have a king size duvet cover that I would like to have relined (the under side). My husband loves this cover but the soft underside is now thread bare but the top (visible side) is still ok. This is a simple job - just needs someone to purchase enough quality material to re-line this and put in new press studs at the bottom so it closes up again. I will pay additional for the fabric required to complete this.


Excellent customer service, great communication and did an awesome job. Thank you!

Sewing of flags
$150
Werribee VIC 3030, Australia
7th May 2025
I need to have 11 flags sewn. I have the materials and just need them sewn together. They need to be block colours - ie blue at the top, red and then yellow. They also need to have a 35mm pocket on the side to insert a pole. They are only for the football so they dont need to be perfect. They would be as follows. 5 X horizontal blue at the top, red middle, 6 X vertical blue on the left, red middle and yellow right. The photo attached with the circled image highlights roughly what they would look like. I’ve closed the material together to show how to sue them but it doesn’t need to be anything too great. I am happy to meet to drop off the material and ideally I would like it completed in about a week
