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, bridal 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.

Mount Barker SA, Australia
30th Dec 2024
I purchased a toy for my baby for Xmas assuming the edges would be stuffed to hold the “walls” up. As this is how it appears in the advertisements. To my surprise they’re not. It’s very floppy and does not have any structure. I love the idea of it and would like to see if someone is able to stuff the insides of the walls to match the back and front of the animal. And sew it back professionally.

Curtain alterations - adjust sizing of linen curtains x 4
$400
Stepney SA, Australia
6th Dec 2024
We had large linen curtains which we now want to repurpose for a different place. They are hemmed but will need the tops cut down and a side hemmed and then a new hanging system ie for the rails sewed in. You will need to have done curtain making before to understand the measurements. The material is pure linen so we want a curtain maker or someone that has done this as the material is expensive and the curtains are already well made they just need to be adjusted. Probably an hourly rate is what you’ll need to give or understand the job better. We are looking to make 4 new curtains out of 4. If you could hang one that would be great too but not essential.


Great communication and very easy to deal with
