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.

Curtains hemmed

$300

Torquay VIC, Australia

12th Feb 2025

I have six curtains that need to be hemmed. Two are sheer curtains and the other 4 are linen (similar to a linen sheet - no lining). I could pin them at the right height and bring them to you in Torquay or Geelong (or Melbourne if we can't find someone closer). Or you can come and work at our house in Torquay? Not sure what a reasonable budget is - I am open to spending more if need be once I have a better idea of the time / complexity of the task.

Teach me how to sew a few pieces

$100

Geelong VIC, Australia

11th Dec 2024

I have bought a few things from the op shop that I want to change and/or make other clothes from, but I'm not sure how. I have a sewing machine but I'm not sure if I have the right needles and equipment etc. I recently did a beginners sewing class so I know some basic sewing skills, but I just don't know how to make these adjustments to my clothes. The adjustments include adding extra material to make them longer, taking in the waist, making a skirt from a dress etc. Some of the material is stretchy, chiffon, and some is denim. I can come to you (in/around Geelong or Melbourne), or you can come to mine in Hamlyn Heights or Carlton. I want to learn so I can do it to future pieces, too. Hopefully we can have some fun! :)
