What customers say about LookSmart Lower Hutt

I am extremely pleased with the trousers that were shortened this morning and also with the quick and excellent service carried out at Queensgate Shopping Mall, Lower Hutt.

What customers say about LookSmart Lower Hutt

Thank you for helping me to remove the old company logo from the jacket, I was sure it will leave marks and holes, but you did it perfectly so there are no marks at all, awesome job, thank you!

MM – LOCAL GUIDE

What customers say about LookSmart Lower Hutt

Need the straps of a sundress lengthened and so just resigned myself to a close match to the printed shoe string straps that were already there. Melisiti at the Queensgate store asked me to wait an extra day to find something to match but I was astonished by what she did. She found a fine braided trim and used three strands as the extension piece. It looks outstanding and I’m blown away by the thoughtfulness and attention to detail. The dress has been made better rather than just a fix you have to live with. Thanks so much.

What do you wear to get tailored?

For jeans, trousers, and everything below the waist, consider bringing shoes/footwear you plan on wearing with them so we can take the perfect length and give you an idea of how it looks once alterations are finished.
How long does an alteration or tailoring take?

Our tailoring services at LookSmart Alterations have a fast turnaround time, with most jobs finished by the next day. Turnaround times for bulk projects and complex jobs take longer, particularly for invisible mending, adding details, or fitting out entire bridal parties.

Visit us at Queensgate Shopping Centre or call us at 04 586 7362 for enquiries on our alteration and tailoring services.

How much will the alteration cost?

How much we quote your alterations will depend on realistic factors about the garment, the alterations necessary, and your desired fit. Those factors include:

  • Type of Alteration
  • Number of Alteration Jobs
  • Condition and Age
  • Fabric Type
  • Extra Details

Visit us at Queensgate or contact us at 04 586 7362 to know more.

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.

Can a tailor make my suit slimmer?
Definitely! Your clothes should fit your body, and not the other way around.

What type of alterations do you specialise in?

Choose from the following alteration services at LookSmart Queensgate:

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 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, we pay attention to small yet significant details when restyling, altering, repairing, and mending your suit to ensure zero signs of alterations and that all garments look and feel tailor-fitted when worn.

If your business suit needs a seamless repair from tears, holes, scratches, or rips, our select NZ shops provide invisible mending. Individual threads will be meticulously removed from the suit’s hidden interior, and we’ll reweave them to the damaged areas, leaving an invisible repair.

Is dry cleaning included in the alteration service?
Our alteration and repair services in Queensgate and other shops in Lower Hutt come with dry cleaning at an additional cost. Upon your request, you will have a style-ready outfit when you pick your garments back. Experience a swift, excellent alteration service with a fresh, pristine, and expertly tailor-fitted suit and dress with LookSmart.
