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.

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.

I have a dress that is quite see through at the bottom and just need it to be a little bit less see through, maybe with a lining. The fabric is very stretchy and flowy and I hope to keep the way it sits/flows the same. If you could please let me know if you’re able to do this and with what fabric, I can get it and drop it to you. Please let me know your price. Many thanks, Aurora.

Hemming of pants and other clothing alterations - I can send you photos so you can provide a quote for each item. The following are the items (as shown in the pictures): 1. Place a backing behind the ripped area of the knees in the jeans. The backing is to protect it ripping any further and would need to still show my knees. 2. Sew up the rip in the top. 3. Take down the hem in the black pants as they’re a bit short for me. They are not lined.
