Clothing Alterations and Repairs
Whether you need us to take in the waist, shorten pants or jeans, and restyle your wedding dress, we can make them look and feel exactly as you want. All our alteration services have a fast turnaround time to keep up with all styling and fashion needs life offers.
Dry Cleaning
Our expert staff will carefully handle, dry clean, and press delicate fabrics like silk, suede, velvet, cashmere, satin, chiffon, and premium wool. When you return, enjoy impeccable services and pick up a fresh, clean, and flawlessly pressed garment.
Invisible Mending
We take individual threads from the interior fabric of the garment and fix the damaged areas by reweaving the threads to provide an “invisible” repair.
Our tailors repair, modify, resize, and restyle jeans, business suits, dresses, and garments to fit your preferences and measurements. LookSmart is the largest team of expert tailors and stylists in the West Lakes and the rest of Australia, known for turning store-bought clothes into the perfect outfit.
Clothes should fit you, not the other way around. Our broad range of fast and reliable alterations services in West Lakes guarantees a tailored appeal and quality from off-the-rack clothes.
Feel free to wear your jeans, pants, and casual clothes when having your measurements taken. Our tailors advise wearing a dress shirt or shapewear you plan to wear with the business suit, as it gives you an idea of how you should look once alterations are finished.
You can also wear the shoes/footwear that you want to wear with the pants or trousers. This helps our West Lakes tailors measure the perfect fit and ensure the garment enhances your look from the waist down.
How long our alterations take will vary depending on the type of job required, how fast you need it, and whether it’s during peak seasons such as the New Year. All expert services from our tailors, including business suit and dress alterations, have a 24-hour turnaround time.
This means you get your business suit and garments fully altered, dry-cleaned, and pressed, ready by the next day—plus a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Visit our nearest West Lakes and Adelaide store or contact us at (08) 8355 6522, and we’ll gladly answer your questions about our range of professional alteration services.
When you choose our tailors at West Lakes or anywhere in Adelaide for alterations, we’ll assess 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
Simple alterations like hemming or shortening are easier than tailor-fitting business suits and wedding dresses. Our tailors will let you know what type of alterations are necessary to achieve your desired fit, be it simple size adjustments in the waist area or lengthening the pants for a more flattering look.
Number of Alteration Jobs
Our expert tailors in West Lakes will determine the number of alteration jobs required when determining a price. For instance, business suits that only need hemming or taking in will cost less than fitting to the right size, lengthening, and adding details altogether.
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. Our West Lakes shops offer 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
Aside from alterations, adding extra details, such as embroidery, beadings, tulle, and custom laces, creates stunning highlights and enhances the overall look of the suit. This can boost your overall appeal and style when presenting in front of an audience.
