Professional Evening Gown Alterations

Getting the chance to wear a beautiful evening gown doesn’t happen all too frequently which means that when that rare moment does arrive, you’ll want to look your very best. The problem with having an evening gown stored up in the closet year in and year out or borrowing a dress from a friend is the fact that these dresses never fit exactly the way they should. There may also be a few loose threads, seams and faded spots on them and your dress certainly didn’t change along with your body.

At LookSmart we will help you achieve that dream of looking fabulous during your special evening because we offer professional evening dress alterations and can fix up, change and refashion any evening dress for you.

Hear Why 1 Million+ Customers Use LookSmart Every Year

My wedding dress was initially altered by a home-business who completely and utterly ruined the design, stitching, size of my dress and even machine oil on it. I took my dress into LookSmart in Modbury and they unpicked every panel on my satin, fishtail gown to re-stitch it all back together after making the necessary changes. Thanks to LookSmart I had my dream dress back. LookSmart Modbury (SA) – Caitlin B
Had an absolutely amazing experience. I came here to alter my dresses as a bridesmaid a year ago... and the last few months have been back to alter my own wedding dresses! They are well experienced, has great attention to detail and followed through with my job from beginning to end. I’ve been here 6 times now and the service is just impeccable. Highly recommend this place! LookSmart Chatswood (NSW) - Michelle W
Amazing service! One of the "best" places in Perth said what I wanted couldn't be done. I went to Mona under a recommendation and will definitely be a return customer. She spent a whole hour pinning my wedding dress and it was perfect. She even did a fitting and made the tiniest adjustments. So worth the money if you want something done properly! LookSmart Gateway (WA) - Lana D
Had my pants altered with original hem done in 30 mins! The work was professional and the staffs were friendly. I will be getting all my alterations done here from now on. LookSmart Chadstone (VIC) – Joseph C
Miracle workers. Had a dress that needed some serious work done due to sunlight damage. It required one of the panels to be removed and reversed. This dress is made from a variety of materials and required skill, attention to detail and extreme care, both of which LookSmart in Glenorchy provided. Thank you so much to the incredibly talented seamstress. I also had 4 items dry cleaned. 10/10 Highly recommended. LookSmart Northgate (TAS) – Elise T
Claremont team in WA are very good at what they do and so focused on customer care which is rare today. They rescued a garment of mine, Karen Millen skirt. Since then I have not only had several items altered by them, I've also had one shirt made from scratch. Their technical expertise is of a very high standard. I would rate them all A+. Thanks for being so amazing. LookSmart Claremont (WA) - Alexsandra G
Hi, just wanted feedback given about some sewing i had done at Charlestown NSW. The staff was a delight and sewed my top beautifully. I gave her a prepaid satchel and she was able to post it to me, as I couldn’t pick it up, as I lived an hour away. She did a lovely job and was very. LookSmart Charlestown (NSW) – Mandy T
I’ve been to both Erina Fair and Westfield Tuggerah shops, amazing work from both, but extremely happy with erina today. I dropped off my pants on Thursday and it was ready on the Sunday, they did a great job with how much I needed my pants to be altered and in such a short amount of time! LookSmart Erina (NSW) - Bianca
I just wanted to let you know the service I have been receiving at charlestown is amazing! Ashley has saved me before and has now come to the rescue with my wedding dress after someone else stuffed it! She has amazing service even though you can tell she is flat out! LookSmart Charlestown (NSW) – Brianee L
I bought a new business suit, which I had to wear to work the next day as I was starting a new job. Despite having only few hours at hand, they did an excellent job by altering my suit before end of business day. You guys have me as a customer for life now just because of the exceptional service extended by this employee of your company. LookSmart Modbury (SA) – Mukesh I
