What does a clothing alteration include?
Your seamstress or tailor is skilled in working with textiles, but especially clothing, to create, repair, and alter clothes. Here are some of the most popular alteration services and what you can expect when you book them:
Sewing
Need some custom sewing work to create a design from scratch or custom-fit to your size? Hire a seamstress or dressmaker to create or customise your dress or garment with great attention to detail. They’ll start by measuring your shape and size with a soft tape measure to ensure the perfect fit. They’ll consult with you on designs and fabrics, before choosing or customising a pattern and cutting out the pieces. They’ll sew your garment or dress, taking care to finish off any edges with an overlocking stitch. Most dressmakers will request you to come in for a final fitting where you can try on the (mostly finished) garment and they can make final adjustments.
Formal wear alterations
When you want to look your best, it’s so important that your clothing is tailored to perfectly fit. Whether you need bridal alterations, school graduation alterations, wedding dress alterations, corporate wear alterations, or suit alterations nearby your location, a professional seamstress can help. They’ll take your exact measurements and then ask you to try on the outfit or dress, ideally with the shoes you plan to wear. Then they’ll note or mark up any parts that need taking in or loosening, and where the hem needs to sit based on your shoe height. They’ll use a mixture of machine and hand-sewing techniques to alter your clothing and finalise everything with a final fitting before your event.
Clothing adjustments
Most clothes you buy off the rack won’t fit perfectly, or you might need your favourite clothes adjusted for your body shape over time. Book clothing alterations around your area to help with dress shortening, garment shortening, and even school uniform alterations for those kids who won’t stop growing. Clothing adjustments usually involve taking seams in or out and adjusting the hem. Most hems have a few centimetres of extra fabric, so you can add extra length, or take it up for the perfect fit.
Clothing repairs
When your favourite dress or pants break, you don’t have to throw them away. Get professional tailors or seamstresses to take a look and see if they can save your clothes with techniques like zipper repair, seam repair, new lining, hole patching, button sewing, and more. Extend the life of your clothes - it’s better for the environment and much more budget-friendly, too.

Shorten hem line of a wedding dress

West End Brisbane, QLD, Australia
12th May 2024
I am looking for someone to take up my wedding dress. It has 4 layers to it (as shown in the photos) - 3 of the layers will need to be stitched and the other looks like it can be cut without stitching. It needs to be taken up approximately 10 cm. It also has a train which I would be keen to have a loop added to, to allow for it to be bustled. As it's a second hand dress, alteration didn't come with the purchase.
Jean did a wonderful job shortening my wedding dress and is just generally an incredibly lovely person who I would be very happy to bring any items of clothing to for alteration. Would recommend!

Couch Zip Repair
$100
Bulimba QLD, Australia
1st Dec 2023
Our linen couch zip has broken as pictured. Looking for someone to repair. Have reached out to the manufacturer of the couch and they haven’t been very helpful so thought it might be easier to repair in another way. It’s one long zip along the back of the cushion (single cushion) so might need an industrial type machine to fix. - Due date: Flexible
Lovely lady, very easy and prompt communication. Would definitely use again :)
