The Most Trusted Tailor Bankstown Has To Offer

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.

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.

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.

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.
