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.Â
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.
Having tailors shorten a dress is typically the most basic service they offer, 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 £7 to £20 for skirts and dresses, £30 for bridesmaid dresses, and £90 and above for bridal gowns. 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.

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. No need to worry about an ill-fitting dress, especially when you're preparing for an unforgettable event—whether it's a school dance, a wedding, or even just a second date! Here are some common alteration services you can find on Airtasker:
Dress reshaping
If you're looking to tweak the silhouette, alter the neckline, or adjust the waistline, dress reshaping is the perfect solution. This service can completely revamp the appearance and fit of your garment to better match your style and body shape and make it feel unique. A talented dress tailor can expertly manipulate the fabric's drape and structure to accentuate its flattering features to craft a dress that flawlessly complements your figure.
Dress shortening
Does that floor-length gown leave you feeling uncomfortable or longing for a more versatile look? Consider availing of dress shortening near you. Have your dress expertly tailored to get the length you prefer without compromising the original design and proportions.
Dress repair
Restore your favourite dress to its former glory and maximise its use by having it repaired. From fixing ripped seams to replacing missing beads or buttons, dress tailors can address any damages or wear-and-tear concerns that will get your dress ready for your next big event. Repairs also help prolong the lifespan of your garment so you can enjoy its beauty for more years to come.
Formal dress alterations
Some ball gowns and evening dresses for formal events can be quite an investment to purchase, so it's natural to want to maximise their use. Whether your gown feels a bit too snug or loose in certain areas, you can salvage it by having it altered. Tailors can adjust the straps, re-do the beadwork, or even shorten a dress hem to freshen up the look of your dress without the expense of getting a new one.
