Our expert team in Newmarket will repair, modify, restyle, and alter garments according to your desired fit and needs. Visit us in Westfield Newmarket and we’ll take your measurements, discuss your tailoring needs, and provide important information on the necessary alterations that could achieve your desired fit. We turn off-the-rack suits and garments into bespoke pieces that perfectly fit your shape and style. Enjoy a broad range of alterations, repair, and dry cleaning services that ensure a tailor-fit appeal and quality out of pre-loved garments.

When you go to get your clothes tailored, wear something easy to take off and put back on, like a simple shirt and pants. This helps the tailor take accurate measurements and see how your clothes fit. Wear well-fitting undergarments to ensure precise measurements. Also, bring the shoes you plan to wear with the tailored clothes, as this can affect the length. Overall, dress for comfort and convenience so the tailor can do their best work!

Minor repairs, adjustments, and basic alterations can be finished within the day, depending on the number of alterations in our Newmarket store. Complex reworks, invisible mending, and alterations will take longer to ensure you get the best fit and quality. Simple pants shortening can be completed on the same day.

Our master tailors in Newmarket, Auckland will assess the garment’s condition and discuss your requests before providing a fixed quote. Alterations often involve the following factors to achieve your desired fit:

Type of Alteration
Basic alterations are quicker and easier to perform than complex reworks and restyling. For example, shortening jeans or trousers will cost you less time and money than lengthening or letting them out.

Number of Alteration Jobs
The number of jobs required in a piece will affect the price. Besides, single-job alterations will cost less than multiple alterations, such as fitting, taking in, and shortening simultaneously.

Condition and Age
The condition and age of the garment will affect its workability and cost. Worn-out garments may require invisible mending and larger repairs than newly bought ones. Besides, it may be difficult to source matching patterns and fabrics for vintage garments.

Fabric Type
The material used will impact the cost of altering a piece. Some fabrics, such as silk, suede, and lace, are much more delicate to work with than others and might take extra time to produce the desired results.

Extra Details
Adding beadings, tulle fabrics, and embroidery, all create unique highlights and enhances how to look in your suit/outfit. These accessories add to the overall complexity of the design and may require more time and cost to achieve the desired look.
