Frequently Asked Questions
What does a tailor do?
Our Albany tailors can alter and repair dresses, business suits, and other articles of apparel to fit perfectly for your particular body type. We’ll schedule fittings, take your measurements, and provide styling advice to ensure you get the perfect fit.
We can transform your store-bought dresses and business suits into exquisite custom-fit outfits that our clients love to wear to any occasion. Choose from a variety of our formal wear alterations and repair options to give your clothing a new look and guarantee a fitted appearance.
Kindly provide your dimensions so that our tailors can precisely fit you in business suits and gowns. Used clothing that fits incorrectly doesn’t have to be thrown away. We can make miracles for you.
What do you wear to get tailored?
Feel free to wear your everyday clothes when you visit us for alterations. We are conveniently located in Westfield Albany, so you can always stop by on your way to work or home. If you have the extra time, you can also bring the footwear that goes with the outfit, especially for garments below the waist.
For wedding dress alterations and any other garments above the waist, consider wearing a proper bra and shapewear that you intend to wear with the dress.
Bring the shoes you will be wearing at times you plan to wear the tailored suit because they may affect the length. You should dress comfortably and in convenient attire that is going to give the tailor great results and work effectively.
How long does an alteration or tailoring take?
How long an alteration or tailoring takes depends on the job’s complexity and whether it’s done during peak seasons and the busiest times, such as in New Year or wedding months.
Most simple clothing alterations like pants shortening can be completed within 24 hours or less. The turnaround time will be slightly more for more complex alterations like resizing business suits, formal gowns and wedding dresses.
LookSmart also provides an Express add-on service for emergency clothing repairs and alterations. Ask in-store for a quote and more information.
How much will the alteration cost?
We first evaluate the garment and your alteration requests before arriving at a final cost. Think of the following factors affecting the cost of clothing alterations and dry cleaning:
- Type of Alteration
- Number of Alteration Jobs
- Condition and Age
- Fabric Type
- Extra Details

What is the difference between a seamstress and a tailor?
A tailor is an individual who focuses on creating, modifying, and fixing clothing, specifically bespoke attire like suits, jackets, and pants. Our tailors typically specialise in tailoring for men’s garments, but they also have experience working on tailored pieces for women.
A seamstress, on the other hand, is someone who stitches, especially someone who creates or mends clothes. The term typically describes a female who does these various sewing duties, but it can be used for anyone regardless of gender.
Can a tailor make my suit slimmer?
Sure thing! Absolutely, at Westfield Albany, we’re all about creating one-of-a-kind pieces from second-hand coats and off-the-shelf suits without any delay. Our stylist tailor will take your measurements and make any necessary adjustments to ensure the perfect fit.
You can trust our skilled stylists to tailor your business suits and pants to your exact preferences by simply dropping them off at our shops. Whether you’re looking to impress with a sharp look for a proposal or a special occasion, we’ve got you covered!

Will my alteration be noticeable?
Visible seams and sewing problems can leave a bad image and fit to your piece. At LookSmart, we pay attention to small details to ensure no repairs and alterations are noticeable. Entrust your garments to us at LookSmart Albany, and leave with a suit/dress that has zero traces of repair and alteration.
If your suit or dress needs repair due to rips, tears, or holes, we also provide invisible mending in select shops. We take individual threads from the garment’s interior and reweave them carefully to the damaged sections.
Is dry cleaning included in the alteration service?
You can request that we dry clean the garments after alterations are done for an extra cost. We will dry clean versatile and sensitive fabrics with the utmost care, restoring them to pristine and fresh condition so you can wear them longer.
