For the waist-down, it’s a good idea to bring shoes that go with your outfit. This way, we can measure perfect lengths and adjust the garment properly, ensuring everything fits just right and give you some tips on how to rock your new look.

The timeframe for alterations depends on whether it’s a minor or major repair, not to mention the type of fabric, size of the clothes to repair, and what type of alterations are needed.

Nevertheless, we’re here to help with all your dry cleaning and alteration needs as quickly as possible. We work fast but carefully, ensuring not to cause further damage to the dress being repaired.

Simple alterations and repairs can be completed within 24 hours. For more complex alterations, like resizing a wedding dress or outfitting a whole entourage or bridal party, ask our master tailor in store.

For urgent alterations and repairs ask about LookSmart Alterations’ Express Tailoring Services.

Our experienced tailor will inspect your garment before giving an estimate of prices for custom fitting and adjustments. These are affected by several factors: The type of alteration—the easiest being simple adjustments, and the most complex, redesigns like customised gowns.

Then there are those with just hemming compared to extensive tailoring. Variations in the pricing can occur with the condition of the garment and the type of fabric used, such as silk, lace, or wool. Additional information like embroidery or beadwork adds to the complication, but these are well handled by our experienced team in Glenfield.

A tailor is someone with a deep understanding and expertise in modifying and building clothes. Like a fashion designer, tailors evaluate how well a piece of clothing fits and adjust it to suit an individual’s body shape.

Tailors usually handle the modification of formal attire, like tuxedos, suits, dresses, and coats. They are also skilled in working with all kinds of clothing.

A seamstress, on the other hand, is a female (seamster for a male) who creates a variety of clothing based on various designs, materials, and patterns. Additionally, she makes measurements, sews fabrics, makes clothes, and modifies and embellishes gowns and dresses.

Yes, and in no time! We turn off-the-rack suits and pre-loved suits into tailor-fitted masterpieces. Visit us at Glenfield Mall, and our expert tailors will take your measurements and make the necessary adjustments to achieve your desired fit.

Leave your business suit jackets and trousers in our shops, and have our expert tailor adjust them to your specifications. Whether you want to look defined and charming as you walk the aisle or present your proposals, we have the answer to your style needs.
