What do dress alteration services include?
From simple trimmings to extensive adjustments, a dress tailor can take on almost any alteration request to ensure that your dress fits perfectly according to your exact measurements and unique body type. You need not fret over an ill-fitting dress, especially when you're gearing up for a memorable event—be it a school formal, a wedding, or even just a second date! Here are some common alteration services you can find on Airtasker:
Dress reshaping
If you need to adjust the silhouette, change the neckline, or modify the waistline, dress reshaping is the service for you. This can transform the overall look and fit of your garment to better suit your style and body shape and make it feel uniquely yours. A skilled dress tailor can work with the fabric's drape and structure to enhance its flattering features and make sure it complements your figure perfectly.
Dress shortening
Feeling restricted by your floor-length gown, or looking to switch up its length to give it a more versatile look? Consider availing of dress shortening near you. Taskers can expertly cut a dress to align with your preferred length without compromising the original design and proportions.Â
Dress repair
From fixing ripped seams to replacing missing beads or buttons, dress repair services can restore your favourite dress to its former glory and get it to look flawless and ready for your next big event. A dress tailor can address any damages or wear-and-tear issues. Repairs also help prolong the lifespan of your dress and preserve its beauty for years to come.
Formal dress alterations
Some ball gowns and evening dresses for formal events come with a hefty price tag, so it's natural to want to make the most of your investment. If your gown feels a bit too snug or your cocktail dress is loose in certain areas, a dress alteration service can come to the rescue. They can also re-strap, re-bead, or even shorten them, giving your dress a fresh look without the expense of buying a new one.Â

I would like this dress taken in slightly around the top of the bodice, sew in a push up bra and shortened. Adding a bustle would also be great. It is fully sequined. I live in Elwood VIC. Open to all cost-effective suggestions. As I would be only wearing it once, I don't want to spend a fortune! Looking forward to hearing from you soon. - Due date: Flexible

Would like to have a consult about possibilities to alter vintage dress. It fits well, but I would like to make a few alterations to make it feel more modern/me: - Alter the shape of the back of the dress to be a low v/scoop neck. (currently a scoop neck that sits just below the neck; potentially add a button or two to the back of the v-neck back - above zipper). - Add some structure to the bodice to fit better without taking away from the floral design on the front - Alter the sleeves in some way - either restructure to feel less puffy or replace with smaller cap-type sleeve - Due date: Flexible - Due date: Flexible

Hi I'm looking for someone to help significantly alter this dress for me? It is an Eliya the Label 'Tamara Dress' in Gold (see link here: https://www.eliyathelabel.com/products/tamara-dress) I'm looking to: - Shorten the dress - Alter the straps in the top half of the dress from halter style to off-the-shoulder - Use the excess material taken from the bottom of the dress after it has been shortened to create extra straps for coverage in the top half of the dress - Have breast cups sewn into the dress (as there currently are none) I'm looking to have this completed by no later than Friday 20 January 2023 (the day before the event where I wish to wear the dress). Please note I'm happy to work with you and discuss any other ideas that may be suitable for this dress to reach a desired final product. I'm happy to travel to you as long as it is within reasonable distance from Melbourne CBD / Metro Melbourne.
