Frequently Asked Questions
What does a tailor do?
At Bankstown, our expert tailors will alter, repair, and modify pieces and garments according to your needs. Visit us at Level 1, Bankstown Central and we’ll arrange fittings, take your measurements, and give style advice about which adjustments will achieve your desired fit.
At LookSmart Alterations, we transform off-the-rack outfits into the perfect piece that fits your shape and compliments your body. Our wide range of services provides a tailored-fit appeal and quality out of pre-loved garments.
What do you wear to get tailored?
You can visit us at Level 1 Bankstown Central, Bankstown, to get tailored. We anticipate that many customers will be local shoppers who can’t find a perfectly fitting store-bought piece. Hence, you can wear your everyday shopping outfit or casual clothes when fitted.
But if you have more time and room, you can also bring the footwear and dress shirt you plan on wearing with the piece. Doing so lets us take perfect measurements and give you an idea of how you look in your bespoke suit/dress once alterations are finished.
How long does an alteration or tailoring take?
Depending on the number of alterations in our Bankstown shop, our tailors will complete minor repairs and basic alterations within the same day. However, more complex alterations will require more time to ensure the best fit and quality.
For your convenience, we can shorten pants/jeans within 1 hour, 30 mins, or 15 mins. Visit our nearest store location or ask in-store for full terms and conditions regarding pants shortening speeds.
How much will the alteration cost?
Our team will assess the garment and discuss your request before determining the fixed cost for the alteration. Altering dresses and suits to give you a perfect fit involves the following factors:
Type of Alteration
Simple alterations take less time and are cheaper than total restyles and complex dress reworks. For example, shortening a suit or taking it in is much easier than lengthening it or letting it out, or a combination of both.
Number of Alteration Jobs
The number of jobs necessary in an alteration will determine its final price. Alterations that only need one job (hemming, taking in, etc.) will cost less than fitting it, taking it in, and shortening it simultaneously.
Condition and Age
The condition and age of the suit will determine the cost of altering it. Older and worn-out garments may require invisible mending and more complex repairs than newly bought ones, and matching fabrics for lengthening and letting out may be hard to source.
Fabric Type
Speaking of matching fabrics, the fabric material used will also affect 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 stunning highlights and upgrade the overall look of your suit. These accessories add up to the overall complexity of the design and may incur more time and cost to achieve the desired look.
What is the difference between a seamstress and a tailor?
Seamstresses sew clothes and fabric for a living, while tailors are responsible for altering outfits for a customer. At LookSmart Bankstown, we provide dressmaking and tailoring services to cater to all customers.
We also work with bespoke suits, dresses, and ball gowns, including other garments that require custom alterations to perfectly fit your body shape and highlight your best features.
Can a tailor make my suit slimmer?
Yes we can! Breathe a new life into your tailored suits with a bespoke fit and feel. Visit us at Bankstown Central to determine which adjustments are necessary to give you that perfect look and fit.
We also work with wedding suits and business outfits for discerning gentlemen who want a sharp and defined look. Every client has unique needs, but whether your off-the-rack suit is too tight, loose, or bland, we’ll transform it so you stand out during your life’s biggest moments.
By choosing LookSmart, you don’t just get alterations and tailoring services. You also get expert style advice on achieving the best and most glamorous appeal in your new tailored suit, making a strong and lasting impression wherever you go.
What type of alterations do you specialise in?
No matter the style, occasion, or outfit, you know you are in good hands with Bankstown’s most trusted tailors.
We provide quick and expert alterations for the following:
You can also opt to have us dry clean your garments after alterations are finished (with an additional cost), so you’re ready to rock your outfit as soon as you pick them up from our store.
Will my alteration be noticeable?
A few loose threads and visible seams can ruin your confidence right in the middle of your performance or presentation. At LookSmart, our seamstresses and master tailors pay attention to the smallest detail to produce seamless results and build your confidence with a well-fitting garment.
Pick up your repaired piece with zero traces of alteration by choosing us at LookSmart Alterations Bankstown. Look and feel great with pre-loved or store-bought clothes that fit you perfectly.
In certain cases where your piece needs repairing from rips, fraying, tears, or holes, we provide invisible mending, taking individual threads from the garment’s interior and reweaving them carefully to the damaged sections.
Is dry cleaning included in the alteration service?
You can opt to include dry cleaning after alterations for an extra cost, and we’ll ensure the garment is ready to be worn as soon as you pick it up from our shop. We also dry clean delicate fabrics, including suede, silk, velvet, satin, premium wool, and cashmere.
Leave your perfectly fitted suit to us for dry cleaning, and you can pick it up during store trading hours in a fresh and pristine condition. Let us clean and press it for you.
