Frequently Asked Questions
What does a tailor do?
A tailor is a professional who deals with the designing, alteration, and mending of garments. Tailors work with various fabrics and other materials to create custom-made garments that yield a perfect fit, catering to taste and measurement. To that effect, tailors take precise measurements to ensure clothes fit perfectly, making alterations in the size, shape, and style of the garment accordingly.
They can also construct completely new garments from scratch, following designs and specific patterns. Apart from these services, a tailor will also keep such things in mind as hemming trousers, letting down or taking up sleeves, and repairing broken zippers or ripped seams. Their aim is always to make sure clothes are not only fashionable but also well-fitting and flattering to the contours of the body of the wearer.
What should you wear to get tailored?
When going to the tailor, wear the simplest shirt and a pair of pants that are easy to remove and put on. This way, the tailor can have accurate measurements of your body and check the fit. Wear close-fitting undergarments in order to get accurate measurements.
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?
Well, alterations run into different prices, depending on what’s to be done, the complexity of the job, and what materials are involved. Simple changes, like just hemming or adjusting seams, would be relatively cheap, while detailed or custom work is usually at a higher price.
The best way to get an estimate would be to ask us at the Emporium Melbourne prior to commencement of work. We can quote based on your requirements; otherwise, we can quote our fixed prices for standard alterations. Costs may also vary depending on if you are altering a new garment or your own.
How much will the alteration cost?
The best way to get an estimate is to ask us at the Emporium Melbourne before any work begins. We can quote based on your requirements; otherwise, we can quote our fixed prices for standard alterations. Costs may also differ depending on whether you are altering a new garment or your own.
What is the difference between a seamstress and a tailor?
A seamstress is a person who has been trained in sewing fabrics together into many items, like clothing, curtains, or pillowcases. This work is usually done independently or in factories. On the other hand, a tailor is a specialised kind of seamstress whose job involves fitting clothes.
They work quite closely with customers, adjusting clothes according to their size and style. Besides, they also repair clothes. Seamstresses, per se, stitch things. Tailors ensure that the clothes are of the right fit. This also goes to show that though people use these terms interchangeably, they differ in meaning.
