What do dressmaker services include?
Dressmakers make or alter all types of womenswear, from everyday trousers to outfits for special occasions. A dressmaker usually specialises in dresses, such as summer dresses, prom dresses, and bridal gowns. Some dressmakers also work on menswear and childrenswear. Â
Our platform connects you with custom dressmaking, dress alterations, and clothing repair services. Dressmakers can assist you with the following tasks.Â
Bespoke dressmakingÂ
Recreate a favourite dress you no longer have or have a bespoke dress perfect for your shape and style. Dressmakers can sketch up an original design for you, or take inspiration from a photograph or existing garment.Â
Dressmakers can make bespoke pieces, such as skirts, summer dresses, ball gowns, and costumes. If you’re looking for unique t-shirts to sell or to give as gifts to family, you can also hire a Tasker to print your designs onto t-shirts.Â
Dress alterationÂ
Dress alteration ensures your clothes look and fit just the way you like it. A dressmaker can sew sleeves onto a maxi dress, tighten a dress around the waist, put a zip onto a dress, or adjust the length of your trousers. Have you found your dream prom dress online but the bust is a little too showy? No problem! Your seamstress can fix that up for you as well, by shortening the straps or stitching in between to close the gap. You can even have your gown dry cleaned before your special event. Our platform lets you get anything done!Â

Hi, I have some 2 pieces of silk and would like to have 2 simple slip skirts made out of them. I have similar garments that I could provide to be duplicated, as an example/guide. The skirts would require French seams and zippers, and ideally I’d like to be fitted in person. The cost is negotiable as quality and time taken is important to me, and want to properly compensate someone with the right expertise and time contributed. The cost I have provided is for both skirts, but if my suggested amount is too low please let me know! The picture is an example/idea of what I have in mind. Thank you for your time!
