High Quality Clothing Alterations in Henderson
The best garments are those that best fit your shape and size, yet we all too often settle for pieces that aren’t quite 100% in how we would like them to look. A sweater that’s a little too long in the sleeve, a shirt or blouse too short in the body, a pair of pants that is loose on the leg, a skirt that has a shake too wide a hem for our liking, a dress that ruffles a bit on the hips – all too common occurrences!
However, these common issues can be easily and affordably addressed—simply bring them to a tailor! With some specialist alterations, any garment can be quickly transformed into a much more comfortable, impressive piece that you truly look and feel great wearing.
Whether you’ve got a wedding dress that needs resizing, a pair of pants or jeans that need shortening, or a broken zipper requiring repair we can help. No matter your tailoring needs, be it quick alterations, custom outfit creations, entourage tailoring for your big wedding day, or dry cleaning delicate garments, we’re have it covered.

How long does an alteration or tailoring take?

How much will the alteration cost?
Before we give you a quote, we will carefully assess the clothes’ condition and discuss your preferences. We believe in transparency, so you’ll know exactly what to expect. Several Factors influence the cost of sewing alterations and repairs, including:
Number of Alteration Jobs Jobs that involve additional modifications will incur higher costs and require more time to achieve a flawless result and the desired fit. These modifications involve adjusting the fit of a dress by taking it in or shortening its sleeves, or expanding the size of a suit by letting it out and lengthening it.
Condition and Age Working with newly purchased pieces in excellent condition is much easier compared to dealing with heavily worn-out and aged pieces. In addition, fixing worn-out fabric that has tears, rips, and holes may demand extra care compared to mending new clothes using readily available materials.
Fabric Type Knowing what kind of fabric material you’re going to use is essential. Some materials are user-friendly, like linen, cotton, wool, and denim. While materials like silk, cashmere, and chiffon are considered delicate fabrics, you need extra precaution and attention to detail when handling them.
Extra Details Adding a fashion element such as beading and tulle fabric can certainly upgrade the style and appearance of your piece. If you have any requests feel free to talk to us, Our team would be happy to accommodate your request for an additional fee.
What is the difference between a seamstress and a tailor?
A tailor possesses a profound knowledge and skill in altering and creating garments. Similar to a fashion designer, tailors assess the fit of a garment and tailor it to fit a person’s body shape and type.
Tailors typically focus on altering formal wear, styles such as tuxedos, suits, dresses, and coats; however, they are proficient in handling any type of clothing.
A seamstress, on the other hand, is a female (seamster for a male) who creates different pieces of clothing based on various designs, materials, and patterns. At the same time, she does measurements, sews fabrics, makes clothes, and modifies and embellishes gowns and dresses.
Can a tailor make my suit slimmer?
Yes, a skilled tailor can alter the fit of your suit to make it slimmer and more tailored to your body.
Our Henderson team can assist you in adjusting any suit, whether it’s for a special event or everyday office attire. We will make it fast and with precision. At LookSmart in WestCity Waitakere, our tailors are experts in suit alterations providing the perfect fit.
