LookSmart is a complete one-stop shop for all your quality alterations and tailoring needs. Whether you need a hole quickly repaired, a dress or suit resized for a big event, a favourite piece customised and restyled, or a shirt quickly dry cleaned, our team has the experience and expertise to deliver to your requirements. We can professionally alter any item with a fast turnaround time, with service designed to meet all your expectations at every turn. Regardless if you need us to take it in, let it out, shorten it, or lengthen it, we can tailor and mend your clothes to fit your shape, size, and height. Our tailors can alter, restore, or repair any new piece or old piece so that it looks and fits exactly as you desire.

Exude Confidence and Look Professional in a Tailored Suit

Expert suit alteration service will transform any off-the-rack suit into a custom-fitted masterpiece, ensuring your clothes perfectly suit and fit you. From modernising the cut to adding embroidered finishing touches – we know how to make that suit fit you like a glove.

With a suit altered by us, you can look polished, powerful, and professional. Knowing you look stylish and influential means you can comfortably concentrate on your work. Our custom fitting service will make you look stylish and give you a huge confidence boost—just what you need before that big meeting.

Of course, our service doesn’t stop there. LookSmart experts will help you choose shirts and accessories that will enhance your look—whether that is specific colours that match or a tie pin and cufflink combination that will provide the perfect finishing touch.

Highly Skilled Tailoring and Clothing Repair Services

We know that somewhere in your closet, there is a much-loved garment that you cannot wear because it is damaged. Whether it has a rip or tear, a broken zip, or even a burn, our repair service can help. All our repairs are guaranteed, and you can include dry cleaning services to make the item as good as new.

If you have a damaged item that is valuable – either through physical cost or emotional meaning, you might want to consider using our Invisible Mending service. Although this is only available in certain stores and has a longer turnaround, the results are near-perfect. To complete an invisible mend, we take individual threads from an unseen interior fabric and weave them to fix the damaged area. This process meticulously matches the pattern and colours of the material, making the repaired area imperceptible. The results depend greatly on the material used, and this is a specialist service only offered in a few locations.

If you want to discuss your clothing alterations with the Mount Albert team, call 09 845 1623 or visit us in Westfield St Lukes. We look forward to helping you get that perfect fit!

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a tailor do?
At LookSmart in Mount Albert, our tailors repair, alter, restyle, and modify suits, dresses, pants, and other garments to fit your body shape and match your preferences. Visit any of our Auckland shops, and we’ll arrange fittings to take your measurements and provide alteration services such as shortening or lengthening suits and taking in or letting out garments and dresses. Get expert styling and fashion advice on rocking your altered and tailor-fitted suit. Our bespoke tailors transform store-bought suits and garments into the right outfit for the perfect occasion that fits your shape and budget. Experience a broad range of alteration and tailoring services with LookSmart Mount Albert, all with a quadruple guarantee to ensure 100% satisfaction with your hems and tailored suits. Visit our shop in Mount Albert, Auckland for a fitting, and we’ll tailor your suits to your body shape, turning off-the-rack outfits into the perfect suit. There’s no need to discard used dress shirts and garments of the wrong size, as our experienced tailors will enhance them to their best fit.
What do you wear to get tailored?
Visit our Mount Albert, Auckland store to alter your pants or jeans; consider having the shoes you plan on wearing with them so we can tailor your garments to the perfect length. Feel free to visit our store in your everyday casuals to get measured. We have no problem taking measurements in baggy clothes. But if you want to feel how the tailored suit or dress should look when finished, consider wearing a dress shirt, a proper bra, or shapewear.
How long does an alteration or tailoring take?

Simple suit alterations, bespoke dresses, and casual clothing adjustments take 24 hours to complete. If you include our dry cleaning service, your clothes will be altered, dry-cleaned, and ready to wear on the day you pick them up.

Turnaround times are longer for bulk jobs that require adding garment details and suit-fitting entire entourages or bridal parties. Visit our Mount Albert store or call us on (09) 845 1623 for enquiries on our alteration, restyling, and remodelling services. Get ready to feel amazing again!

How much will the alteration cost?

The cost of our alteration services will depend on several factors relevant to your style, the garment you want to alter, and the jobs required to achieve your desired results.

We aim to satisfy your personal tastes and transform your dresses into bespoke and custom-fitted outfits that highlight your best features.

The following factors influence the alteration costs:

Type of Alteration
Tailor-fitting pants, clothes, and suits are easier than altering wedding dresses and bridal parties. Shortening or taking a suit in also requires less work and materials than letting it out or lengthening it.

Number of Alteration Jobs
When you visit us for an alteration, our expert tailors will assess your suit, take measurements, and determine how many alteration jobs are required to achieve your unique style and fit.

Condition and Age
Altering new and barely used clothes will take less time than repairing and fitting worn-out suits, particularly those with rips, tears, and holes. Older fabrics with unique patterns and designs are also harder to source and may take time to repair, depending on the quality of the materials and accessories added.

Fabric Type
Delicate materials and fabrics, such as lace, suede, tulle, velvet, leather, and silk used in your bespoke suits may require more meticulous repairs. Visit our store or contact us at (09) 845 1623 to learn more.

Extra Details
Custom laces, embroidery, and beadings enhance an outfit’s style, glamour, and beauty. The accessories you want to add and the complexity of the design will affect the overall cost of customising the garment.

What is the difference between a seamstress and a tailor?
Seamstresses sew clothes, garments, and fabric for a living while tailors modify, alter, and restyle suits or dresses to a customer’s body shape. Tailors aim to highlight the wearer’s best features while concealing trouble areas. Our bespoke tailors in Mount Albert provide high quality alterations, repairs and restyling with most of their work involving hemming and repairing bespoke suits and garments.
Can a tailor make my suit slimmer?
Definitely! Your clothes should fit your body, and not the other way around. At LookSmart, your worn-out suits and clothing will have a bespoke and tailor-fit feel, giving you more confidence and enhancing your overall style. Visit us in Westfield St Lukes, and we’ll ensure you walk away with a mended suit with a perfect fit and feel. Boast your sharp and elegant look as you march the aisle or nail your presentation or interview with a well-fitted suit. Every client has a unique need and specifications, so leave it to us, and you’ll stand out and look confident in front of a crowd.
What type of alterations do you specialise in?

Our Mount Albert shop provide the following alteration services:

  • Clothing alterations and repairs
  • Dress alterations
  • Suit alterations
  • Dry cleaning

Whether you’re visiting to restyle your suit, dress, or entire outfit, our professional tailors will adjust it to the right measurements and dry clean it (at an additional cost) so it’s ready to be worn as soon as you pick it up.

Will my alteration be noticeable?
Visible seams, loose threads, and asymmetrical fits can ruin your confidence and impact how you present yourself to an audience. At LookSmart Mount Albert, we pay close attention to small yet significant details when restyling, altering, remodelling, and mending your suit to ensure we leave no traces of alterations and that all garments look and feel tailor-fitted when worn. Your suit may require repairs due to tears, holes, scratches, or rips; our Mount Albert store specialises in all types of clothing repairs.
Is dry cleaning included in the alteration service?
We provide dry cleaning to all alteration services at an additional cost. After working with and repairing your clothes, we will dry clean them and handle all delicate fabrics carefully so you have a style-ready suit as soon as you pick it up. Our team is experts in handling and dry cleaning delicate materials and fabrics, including silk, premium wools, laces, velvet, chiffon, and suede. We deliver impeccable services in Mount Albert, returning fresh, clean, and flawlessly pressed garments.
Do you offer any guarantee on your alterations?
At LookSmart, we take pride in our reputation in Mount Albert, Auckland and the rest New Zealand. We maintain the highest tailoring standards by employing professional tailors and upholding friendly customer service. We also provide you with a 100% quadruple satisfaction guarantee.
