Visit us at Shop 290A (near Hype DC), Stockland Townsville, 310 Ross River Road, Aitkenvale QLD, 4814 AU, to learn more about our full range of clothing alterations services.
What do you wear to get tailored?
We are strategically located at the heart of Aitkenvale’s major shopping centre. That means you can easily drop by during your weekend shopping and leave us your store-bought pieces that need a professional touch.
Feel free to wear your everyday clothes when getting measured. If you have enough time and room to bring extra, you can bring the shoes/footwear you plan to wear with them, particularly for pants and jeans. This helps our tailors measure the perfect length and give you an idea of how the fit looks like once alterations are finished.
For dresses and pieces above the waist, consider wearing a proper bra and shapewear that you want to wear with the dress/clothes to be altered.
How long does an alteration or tailoring take?
All basic alterations and repairs usually have a 24-hour turnaround time. We can also provide rush fixes for jeans and trousers from 15 minutes to an hour. More complex jobs require more time to ensure you get the best quality and stress-free experience.
Whether for last-minute outfit preparations for Townsville Cultural Fest, a night out at Graziers Steakhouse, or a business presentation for your company around Aitkenvale’s business centre, we have your style covered. Take a quick stop at LookSmart Aitkenvale and experience swift and expert tailoring and alteration services right when it matters!
How much will the alteration cost?
We’ll evaluate your garment’s condition and your tailoring requests before providing a fixed cost. Turning store-bought pieces into tailor-fitted pieces involves the following factors:
Type of Alteration
Tailor-fitting casual garments with basic features (jackets, pants, casuals, etc.) is easier than altering a 3-piece suit or a wedding dress. Besides, shortening hems and taking in a garment will take less time and materials than lengthening or taking them out.
Number of Alteration Jobs
Pieces that only require one job (hemming, taking in, etc.) will cost less and have a shorter turnaround time than those that require several alterations, such as taking in, shortening, and adjusting other areas to achieve a desired fit.
Condition and Age
The garment’s condition and age will determine the amount of work involved and the cost of repairs. Is it brand-new or relatively old? Worn-out clothes made of versatile fabrics can be repaired easily, but those made of hard-to-source and delicate materials can take more time and meticulous craftsmanship to achieve a seamless and perfect finish.
Fabric Type
The fabric’s material and pattern can slightly affect the cost of enhancing it. Premium fabrics such as lace and silk are more delicate to work with than other materials, and it may also cost more to source the fabric for lengthening, patchwork, and letting it out.
Extra Details
Stylish details such as beading, custom embroidery, and tulle fabric to your garment create stunning highlights and enhance the overall appeal and beauty of the outfit.
What is the difference between a seamstress and a tailor?
Our Aitkenvale seamstresses sew clothes and garments from plain fabric, while tailors adjust, restyl, and alter outfits to fit a customer’s shape and specifications. At Aitkenvale, we hem pants and skirts, alter suits and dresses, and repair tears and damages.
We also have the tools and materials to turn your dream piece into reality. Just visit our Aitkenvale shop at Stockland Townsville Shopping Centre, get measured, and we’ll get to work to realise your masterpiece.
Our in-house team of seamstresses and tailors allows us to alter, restyle, and tailor-fit garments while creating a new one, catering to every occasion.
Can a tailor make my suit slimmer?
Definitely! After all, your clothes should fit your body, not the other way around. At LookSmart Aitkenvale, our stylist tailors will be your go-to team for a well-adjusted suit that leaves a flattering look.
Our expert tailors in Aitkenvale will design, restyle, and adjust wedding suits and dinner suits for gentlemen who want a sharp and professional look for life’s biggest moments. Every client has unique needs and specifications, depending on where the suit should be worn, and it’s our job to ensure no suit is too tight, loose, or bland so you feel sharp and distinguished at your most significant events.
Our services don’t stop with alterations. You also get first-hand advice from our tailors on how to wear your tailored suit best and make a lasting impression wherever life brings you.

Will my alteration be noticeable?
Poorly sewn seams and loose threads can lead to unexpected wardrobe malfunctions and ruin your confidence at crucial moments. At LookSmart, we create perfectly adjusted masterpieces with keen craftsmanship and seamless mending.
We restyle and repair garments with minimal traces of alteration. You won’t even notice it’s repaired or altered in the first place!
Feel stylish and confident flaunting your pre-loved or off-the-rack clothes repaired from damage and altered to your unique shape. In special cases where your garment needs repair from tears, holes, and rips, we provide expert mending services at LookSmart Alterations Aitkenvale.
