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.Â
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.Â
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.Â
Extend the life of your clothes - it’s better for the environment and much more budget-friendly, too.

I would like to make this dress myself (or could have this made). My pattern drafting skills are not this advanced and my body has changed since I drafted patterns a couple of decades ago. This dress looks like a simple style shift dress with clever seams and a beautiful draped bow incorporated at the waist, to accentuate and enhance. There is a split on one side of the slightly taped skirt. The neck line is boat shaped, there are no sleeves. Its the bow that I would have trouble drafting.

My dad has 5x sets of curtains that need to be shortened by a few inches. It would be preferable to sew them onsite at his house. Taking them away is an option, as long as the tasker can take them down and hang them up again as dad is unable to do this by himself. The curtains are sheer cream in colour, and are each approx 1.2m length (x 10 individuals).

Have 5 business shirts with double cuff (extra long aka French cuff) need them turned into regular cuff. Purchased online and got the wrong cuff style. Just want to use them with button and not cufflinks. Tried folding them to the inside but looked out of wack. Only solution I can think is to remove them all, cut them and resew them. I am open to suggestions of alternative solutions. I can remove them all myself and pay just to re-sew them. Regards, Alan
Highly recommended professional. Prompt communication, got the job done in no time and spotless.
