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.

I need help resizing a large black theatre curtain to fit a 4m × 8m window. Here’s what needs to be done: 1. The current curtain is 4m wide × 8m drop. I need it adjusted to 8m wide × 4m drop. 2. This will involve cutting the existing fabric into two panels (each 4m × 4m) and sewing them together to achieve the new width. 3. The fabric needs to be pleated to fit the 8m width properly while maintaining the 4m drop. 4. Hem the edges for a clean finish and ensure everything is secure. 5. Attach any necessary hanging mechanisms (e.g., curtain rings) to ensure it’s ready to install. Looking for someone experienced with sewing and curtain resizing who can ensure the final result looks professional. Please let me know your availability

Recurring clothing alterations (shortening hems, adjusting waists)
$10
Pascoe Vale VIC 3044, Australia
23rd May 2022
I'm a big shopper, but due to not having the "standard" body that most clothing seems to be modelled after, my clothing constantly needs alterations. This includes shortening the length of pants, tightening the waist of pants, shortening the arms of jackets, etc. I am looking for someone who I can rely on to alter my clothing semi-regularly, as the cost really starts to add up each time I go to a clothing alteration place in a shopping centre. I would hope for $10 per item or less given that they will be semi frequent (say a couple of items every 2-4 weeks). I am happy to drop the items off at your house and pick them up once they are complete. Turnaround is fairly flexible, say one week.
