Highly Recommend Alli went above and beyond. She was driving past on a Sunday afternoon and picked my shirts up. The alterations were completed overnight. Alli worked a couple of suburbs from my home so graciously offered to drop them back. I barely lifted a finger. The shirts turned out exactly as requested. She was friendly, efficient and trusting. I recommend her being used for whatever task she says she can get done.

Top Alterations related questions
Clothing alterations usually cost between $40-$140 on Airtasker. The cost of your clothing alteration service will depend on the type of garment, whether you need a repair or full custom dressmaker alterations near you, the level of complexity involved, and how long it’s likely to take. Learn more about how much alterations cost to set the right budget before posting a task.
It’s common to book alterations for formal wear and special events. But many people also get their corporate wear or school uniforms altered so they fit well and create a professional impression.
Shirt - You can pay attention to where your shoulder ends and where your arm begins. The shirt shoulder seams should sit on top of those spots. For tees, sleeves should end right in the middle of your armpit and elbow. They should not be tenting away nor too restrictive. You can also try pinching the fabric on either side of your torso and see if you're able to hold at least 2-3 inches of it.
Trousers - There are many things to consider. For starters, your waistband should sit at or below your navel. Your trouser's rise should also be long enough to place of the band properly. The hems can touch the shoe, but they shouldn't be puddling to avoid looking sloppy. Lastly, you shouldn't have the urge to pull the crotch or rear area from time to time. Other than these, your trousers are either too tight or too loose.
The best way to find the best alterations near you is to check the reviews. Airtasker makes this so easy with a transparent reviews and ratings system so you know you’re only hiring the best Taskers when looking for clothing alteration services around you.
Come to your clothing alterations appointment prepared with your garment(s) and notes on any changes you want. If you’re having a fitting, bring or wear the shoes and undergarments you plan to wear with the outfit.
Yes! It's ideal for you to wash any piece of clothing, especially newly-bought ones. Have your jackets and trousers laundered and dry-cleaned before sending them to your alteration specialist. Since most of them shrink when washed or cleaned, you can avoid unpleasant surprises when altering them, like coming up way too short than needed. It'll also be easier for your tailor to get more precise measurements. .
As for your laundry needs, you can also get someone to send your garments to the nearest laundry shop and have them delivered back to you within the day.
Minor clothing alterations and repairs can take as little as an hour or two, but full dressmaking services for a detailed garment like a wedding dress may take up to 6 months.
Jackets - It depends on the complexity of the jacket alteration needed. Trimming the sleeves and hems can be completed in just a few hours, usually within the day. But if it requires your Tasker to take in or let out seams, narrow the armholes, or any similar alterations, then the service might take longer. For a more accurate estimation, feel free to ask your Tasker directly.
Shirts - It depends on how extensive your shirt alteration requirements are. Standard t-shirt alterations like adjusting the sides, adding darts, and shortening the sleeves can only take 30 minutes to an hour. However, complex procedures like replacing collars or cuffs and lengthening the sleeves or hem can take a few days or a week. For urgent alterations, feel free to coordinate a schedule with your Tasker.
Trousers - Standard trouser alterations, which usually involve the inseam, waist, seat, crotch, and leg width, are mostly doable within the day. Complex ones, like adding new belt loops, swing creases, removing pleats, and recutting can take 3-5 days to weeks. You can talk to your Tasker about your desired timeline and have it arranged accordingly.
Clothing alterations can help transform an average garment into your most flattering piece when it’s properly tailored to your body shape. And clothing repairs can help extend the life of your favourite clothing, saving you time and money you’d otherwise spend shopping for new items - plus, it’s better for the environment.
The difference between alterations and tailoring is that tailoring involves creating bespoke pieces of clothing that are custom-fitted according to your exact size and measurements. Alterations, on the other hand, are done to existing clothing items that need length adjustments or necessary clothing repairs. The process usually focuses on specific areas, like hems, sleeves, and buttons.
You can find affordable alterations at local tailoring shops, dry cleaners, or through platforms like Airtasker, where independent alterations experts, seamstresses, and tailors offer competitive prices. Searching online for "cheap alterations near me" will help you compare options and find a good deal.
For same-day alterations near you, basic tasks like hemming or taking in seams can typically be completed within the day. For more complex alterations, it’s best to check with your tailor about the expected turnaround time.
Absolutely! After your alterations, you can easily find a local laundry or same-day dry cleaning service on Airtasker. Simply post a task, and you’ll be connected with professionals who can clean and return your clothes quickly, often on the same day!
Top Jacket Alterations related questions
If you prefer to maximise the life of your old jackets and suits without shelling out on new ones, then booking an alteration service is a wiser choice. Not only does it help you save a fortune, but it also gives new life to your jackets. You can even get a hold of those vintage, off-the-rack jackets without having to worry if they are too fit or too loose.
Most alteration specialists can bring their sewing kit for the job, so you don't necessarily need to provide anything for your service. In case you feel more at ease using your own tools, you can prepare a measuring tape, sewing machine, needles, threads, safety pins, seam ripping, and scissors. You can also directly ask your Tasker to know the exact materials they will need.

Complex ones, like adding new belt loops, swing creases, removing pleats, and recutting can take 3-5 days to weeks. You can talk to your Tasker about your desired timeline and have it arranged accordingly.
Yes. You can do basic alterations on your own, but if you want to be sure of the measurements, quality, and subtlety of the alteration, it's best to leave it to the professionals. They have the right tools, skills, and experience to have it done. Plus, you can save your time and energy from doing it yourself!
The chances of altering your trousers to a bigger size can be slim to none, and it depends if the piece has an extra amount of fabric to work on. Usually, tailored or bespoke items have a few inches of allowance for this, but off-the-rack have none. Making trousers smaller is much easier, and you can go down to two sizes maximum, depending on your comfortability.
It's best to take note of what tailors can and can't do to manage your expectations. Tailors can only do so much, especially when your trousers don't have enough fabric. It would also help for you to know what fashion trends you would like to explore, so your Tasker can match them with your preferences and what suits you the best.
Yes! It's ideal for you to wash any piece of clothing, especially newly-bought ones, before altering them. Doing so shrinks the garments down, and it'll also be easier for your tailor to get more precise measurements. Usually, the size of a clothing item after its first wash is its real size. If you shorten your trousers before washing them, they may end up being too short for you.
Top Dress Alterations related questions
You typically won't need to provide your tools, as most tailors come equipped with their own. However, if you prefer they use your materials instead or have special tools on hand, you can arrange this with your Tasker. For additional supplies like threads, beads, buttons, or fabric, you can either ask your Tasker to pick them up from the nearest store or provide them yourself.
While most dress tailors in your area should be able to offer this service, it's always wise to double-check with your Tasker about their specific offerings before booking an appointment.
This depends on your budget, timeline and priorities. If you are working with a limited budget and a relatively short timeframe, the more cost-effective choice is to have your dress altered, which usually takes a few hours to a couple of days at most. If you are willing to spend more, purchasing a new dress is always the quickest solution. If you have months to spare, you can opt for bespoke dresses.
Absolutely! You can arrange this through dry cleaners available on Airtasker. They can conveniently pick up your dress directly from your tailor or your home, and then process and deliver it back to you on the same day.
Dress shortening is typically the most basic service offered by tailors, and as such, it is often one of the most affordable options available. Pricing for dress shortening near you depends on various factors, such as the complexity of the job, the type of dress, the type of fabric and stitching required, your location and the skill level of your chosen Tasker. Generally, you can expect prices to range between $20 to 25 for day dresses and around $30 for evening dresses. However, it's best to discuss pricing directly with your Tasker, as they can provide a quote based on your specific needs.
Airtasker offers a diverse range of alteration services to transform both formal and casual attire. Tailors can alter suits and shirts, repair zippers or buttons on everyday jeans, and even shorten other garments. Whatever your alteration needs may be, local experts are ready to assist.
Top Jeans Alterations related questions
Most jeans tailors can bring their sewing kits with them for the service. They'll likely use a tape measure, a sewing machine, thread, and sharp scissors. For jeans with thicker fabric, they'll also need a set of jeans needles. As for finishing supplies like extra rivets, buttons, and zippers, your Tasker can pick them up for you at the nearest fabric store upon request. Just make sure to coordinate with them beforehand so they can prepare everything.
Altering jeans is a quick and easy process, as long as your Tasker has all the tools and supplies ready. Changing zippers and buttons, or altering the hemline, for example, can only take less than an hour. Any alteration tasks that require cutting fabric and fixing other sections of your jeans can take longer but usually completed within the day.
Technically it is feasible, but the approach is much more complicated as there's more room for error when letting the seam in than letting them out. If it has enough seam allowance, then growing your jeans by 1/2 a size is usually possible. Anything greater than that has no guarantee. To be sure, it's best to confirm with your Tasker whether or not they can stretch out the size of your jeans.
Yes! Ripped jeans can look very stylish on purpose, but not if the rips are accidental. Jeans tailors near you can also work on repairs so you can use your old classic jeans again without the fuss. For straight cuts or tears, they can hand-stitch the fabric together. As for larger holes, they'll need to sew a patch underneath the jeans.
Yes! If you're pregnant and you want to keep wearing your favourite pants, hiring a jeans tailor will be your lifesaver. They can temporarily add stretch panels to their waistband section so that you can wear them as comfortably as possible, right through the final days of your pregnancy. After your journey, they can also help alter them back to their original shape so you can continue wearing them for as long as you want.
Yes! Our platform also lets you find nearby tailors who can repair and alter formal dresses for special events like prom and wedding. They can take in or let out your garment, or even narrow the dress shoulders, so it fits your body flawlessly. Unsure of what hairstyle will best complement your formal dress? We can also help you book professional hair and makeup artists so you can look and feel your best for your upcoming event!
Top Shirt Alterations related questions
An experienced tailor can shorten or make an oversized shirt smaller by shortening the hem, sleeves, and taking its sides in. However, it can be quite tricky to do it the other way around since shirts don't have extra material built into them. If you can't find a shirt for your size, you can always buy a new one that's a size or two bigger, then have it altered as you see fit.
You can, especially since you know your physique and measurements better. Keep in mind, though, that alterations can be a bit challenging and one small mistake can make it worse than when it was untouched. It's best to leave the task to professionals so you can make sure that you're getting the right shirt alterations and adjustments..
No. Your Tasker can bring the necessary tools for the service, which most likely include professional shears, sewing machines, steam irons, and seam rippers. If you happen to have any of these on-hand or prefer using your equipment, you can lend them to your Tasker. In case you need extra materials, you can also ask them to drop by the nearest fabric store and get them for you.
It depends on how extensive your shirt alteration requirements are. Standard t-shirt alterations like adjusting the sides, adding darts, and shortening the sleeves can only take 30 minutes to an hour. However, complex procedures like replacing collars or cuffs and lengthening the sleeves or hem can take a few days or a week. For urgent alterations, feel free to coordinate a schedule with your Tasker.

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:
Clothing alteration service - 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, like selecting between chinos or khakis, before choosing or customising a pattern and cutting out the pieces.
Then, these clothes or dress alterations near you will 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.
Clothing alteration service - 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, formal pants repair near you, corporate wear alterations, or suit alterations near you, a professional tailor 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 alteration service - 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 near you to help with dress shortening, garment shortening, and even school uniform alterations for those kids who won’t stop growing.
Clothing adjustments and shirt alterations 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 alteration service - clothing repairs
When your favourite dress or your slim or skinny jeans break, you don’t have to throw them away. Get professional clothes repair services near you 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.

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

I’m a size Australian 8/10 and the dress is a size 12 so it needs some slight adjustments. Bringing in the waist and making the fabric around the neck fit better, it’s saggy at the moment. I’m happy to come to you if that’s easier.


Sumra is a great choice for alterations, I had a satin dress done by her and she did a fabulous job in a short turnaround.

URGENT MUST BE FINISHED BY WEDNESDAY CAN DROP OFF SATURDAY/ SUNDAY Short dress for elopement in Vegas I need 3 things done from easiest to hardest 1. Hemmed shorter 2. It is very booby so I need a clasp/button added and extra fabric underneath (either extra from hem OR I do have fabric I’ve purchased) 3. The sleeves are very puffy. I’d like them shorter and tighter. I leave Thursday night to Vegas. I went to pick it up and my seamstress hadn’t even started (was with her for 3 weeks) so I’m really desperate. Happy to travel to drop it off and pick it up, will try on and give more information.


Deepti did a fabulous job alterating my dress, exactly what I had pictured it my head :)
