Frequently Asked Questions
What does a tailor do?
Our expert tailors in Wellington Central can repair, modify, resize, and restyle jeans, business suits, dresses, and garments to fit your preferences and measurements. LookSmart is the largest team of tailors, seamstresses, and dry cleaners in the Wellington Central and New Zealand, known for turning store-bought clothes into the perfect outfit.
Experience a broad range of fast and reliable alterations services that guarantee tailored appeal and quality from off-the-rack clothes.
What do you wear to get tailored?
When getting fitted in any of our shops, you can wear your jeans, pants, and casual clothing. Our tailors recommend wearing a dress shirt or shapewear you plan to wear for business suits and dresses, as it helps us fit the pieces properly and gives you an idea of how the attire should fit once alterations are finished.
You can also wear the shoes/footwear that goes with the trousers or everything below the waist. This allows our Mount Wellington tailors to measure the perfect length and ensure the garment enhances your look from the waist down.
How long does an alteration or tailoring take?
The alterations will take various times to finish depending on the type of job required, how fast you need it, and the capacity of our shops during peak seasons. All expert services from our tailors, including business suit and dress alterations, have a fast turnaround time.
This means you get your business suit and garments fully altered, fast with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Whether you need it for an upcoming charity fashion event or wedding ceremony, a weekend nature stroll, a major concert or musical in Auckland, or an elegant dinner date, we’ve got you covered.
How much will the alteration cost?
When you choose our Mount Wellington tailors for alterations, we’ll evaluate the condition of your garment, take measurements, and discuss your requests before arriving at a final cost. Breathing new life from old clothes or store-bought jeans requires the following factors:
Type of Alterations
Basic and quick alterations like hemming or shortening are easier and should cost less than tailor-fitting business suits and wedding dresses. We’ll let you know the alterations necessary to achieve your desired fit, be it simple size adjustments in the waist area or lengthening the garments for a more flattering look.
Condition and Age
Brand-new clothes with less wear and tear cost less to repair and alter than fitting and mending older garments and worn-out jeans. We have specific shops offering invisible mending for heavily damaged business suits and garments, but matching fabrics for older patterns may be difficult to source.
Fabric Type
The material used for your business suits and wedding dress can affect the cost of altering or repairing it. Fabrics such as silk, velvet, suede, cashmere, premium wool, and lace are more difficult to work with than versatile ones.
Extra Details
You can request our team to add extra details, such as embroidery, beadings, tulle, and custom laces. These create stunning highlights and enhance the overall look and feel of the suit, boosting your overall appeal and style when presenting to an audience.
Note that the accessories and details added may cost you extra, depending on their complexity and the materials used.
What is the difference between a seamstress and a tailor?
LookSmart’s seamstresses create garments and pieces from raw fabric and templates. On the other hand, our tailors precisely adjust, fit, and fine-tune these items to perfectly match your fit and body shape. Tailors also mend damaged fabrics, hem garments, and recommend styling options for your occasion. Visit us in our Sylvia Park shop for bespoke tailoring and dry cleaning services.
They ensure that every garment is tailored to the wearer’s unique body shape and personal style by meticulously measuring and making precise adjustments. Ultimately, a seamstress focuses on various sewing tasks and mending, while a tailor specialises in ensuring that every customer receives an impeccable fit.
Can a tailor make my suit slimmer?
Definitely! After all, we believe your clothes should fit your body, not the other way. Visit our store in Sylvia Park, Mount Wellington, and we’ll provide a perfect look and perfect fit out of store-bought suits and coats.
Each client has a unique fit and preferred style, but if you bought something too tight, loose, or plain, we are your go-to tailors to the rescue.
Choose from a broad range of alteration services all with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Leave your business suits to us, and we’ll adjust your garments to fit your body shape best and leave a flattering look.
What type of alterations do you specialise in?
At LookSmart, we offer expert tailor and seamstress services for the following:
- Clothing Alterations
- Pants and Jeans Alterations
- Dry Cleaning

- Dress Alterations
Will my alteration be noticeable?
Obvious seams and poorly sewn threads are buzzkills that ruin your outfit’s value and your overall confidence in wearing it. At LookSmart Mount Wellington, you can be confident with a perfectly fitting and seamlessly repaired garment. We pay attention to detail, ensuring your garment has zero traces of repairs and alterations.
In rare cases when you need a suit or dress fixed from scratches, rips, and holes, our invisible mending can ensure a perfect finish. We reweave individual threads from their unseen interior into the damaged sections for an invisible repair.
Is dry cleaning included in the alteration service?
You can request to have your items dry-cleaned at an additional cost after alterations and repairs are finished. We handle all garments carefully, leaving you with a style-ready outfit when you claim them back.
