What do seamstresses include?
It may seem practical to simply go for off-the-rack clothing, but if you want to look your best, the key is to work with a seamstress who knows exactly how to make garments look completely yours.
Here’s what’s on offer when you hire seamstresses close to you on Airtasker:
Pattern cutting
If you’re a budding designer keen on crafting your own 2D designs, you can enlist the help of a seamstress to transform these through expert pattern cutting. This process puts your design onto paper or digital form that will serve as the foundation of an actual, wearable garment. Whether you want a one-of-a-kind dress or are looking to get a head start in launching your very own clothing line, Taskers can easily assist you in bringing your vision to life, with the perfect fit and impeccable quality.
Once your personally designed pieces are ready for use, why not hire a professional model to pose in your clothes?Â
Dressmaking
Struggling to find your dream dress or garment in the shops you visit? A usual downside to ready-to-wear clothing is the fit or size may not always work for your body type. But there’s no need to fret, because you can work with a seasoned dressmaker to craft something from scratch, be it a stunning evening gown or a tailored business attire.
Clothing repair
Accidents happen — and so do tears and rips in your favourite clothes. While it can be heartbreaking, don’t resort to buying a replacement just yet. Book an appointment with a seamstress near you and have your piece restored to its former glory in no time at all. Whether it's a jacket from your college days or an heirloom dress, your hired Tasker can surely save you the trouble of parting ways with your wardrobe staples. You can also have your items dry-cleaned after repairs so you don’t have to wait long to use them again.
Clothing alteration
When your clothes don’t fit perfectly, even the best designs can start to feel wrong. Awkwardly loose shoulder pads or pants that are way too long are just some of the many, many things that can go wrong when you mindlessly purchase off the racks. But if you’ve already spent money on ill-fitting pieces or are hesitant about replacing hand-me-downs that are still in good condition, there’s always a guaranteed workaround to this dilemma. Work with seamstresses close to you, to alter your clothes and make them fit better to your specifications.Â
Prom dressmaking
Prom may be a special event in a teenager’s life, but your dress doesn't have to come with an eye-watering price tag. Be the belle of the ball without spending three months’ worth of allowance by booking dressmaking seamstresses near you for a custom-made fit. Taskers can craft a unique dress that suits your budget, personal style, and schedule. Pair this with a reasonably rated hairdressing service to complete your entire look.

Ilford, Greater London, IG1
27th Oct 2024
I’m looking for someone new who I can count on to provide me with alterations, without extortionate pricing like half of the city’s tailors. What I typically need is trousers shortening/hemming with some slight tapering, and shirts/blazers to have sleeves shorted (I’ve never really had to adjust shoulders or waists much thankfully). Can drop off items to you directly (likely 3 suits (2 piece) and 4-5 shirts In the past I’ve typically paid a flat fee of £10-15 per item with my usual tailor (Ben Gold) who is sadly getting on a bit.

Dress alterations
£120
Creekmouth, Greater London
25th Jun 2024
I bought a dress online for a black tie wedding in a size 16 because reviews suggested to size up especially if you have a big bust. I love the dress but it just needs to be tailored to my body. I don’t have time to send back the dress as it can from America and shipping takes at least 4-6 weeks. I just want to see if anything can be done in terms of alterations ? It also has in built padding but because it’s a size 16 it doesn’t appear on the right place on my actual busy area.
Thank you so much Dominque! You were very friendly, professional, gave good advice/suggestions and delivered the service I had requested efficiently. I will definitely keep you in mind the next time I need any dress alterations done! 😊
