Frequently Asked Questions
What does a tailor do?
A tailor is a specialized person that alters, mends, or even makes any type of clothing according to personal tastes and measurements. They are experts in bringing changes with regard to size, fit, and length in the clothes to make them fit perfectly on the customer.
They are also good at mending torn-out parts, replacing buttons, and bringing back the garment to its original form. They can offer customised services of custom-made attire, strictly made from exact measurements and personalized tastes.
Tailors conduct fittings to see that the garment hangs right and offer expert advice on fabric and style selection that best suits the body type of the clients. Overall, they play a major role in enhancing the fit, comfort, and style of clothing.
What do you wear to get tailored?
For the best fit, it’s a good idea to wear the same underwear and shoes that you plan to wear with the altered outfit. This allows the tailor to get a clear understanding of how the clothes will look and feel when you wear them in your daily life.
Whether it’s adjusting hems or taking in seams, wearing your regular undergarments and shoes helps the tailor make precise adjustments. This guarantees that the clothes will fit you perfectly and look great on you, ensuring a comfortable fit that complements your life. You’ll also save hours of potential re-alterations by getting it right the first time.
How long does an alteration or tailoring take?
The duration for alterations or tailoring is dependent on this: the complexity of the work, tailor workloads, specific requirements, and customer’s preferences. Simple alterations, such as hemming pants, can be done rather fast, and the time for completion might just be given a day or a few hours, with extreme cases.
However, some changes, such as resizing a suit or altering a wedding gown, can take several days to a week, mainly because of the level of workmanship involved. Turnaround times are subject to the availability of the tailors and their constraints on workload, particularly during the holidays and wedding seasons.
Tailors generally provide facilities for some form of expedited service, meaning their turnaround times will be quicker, but that is usually at an additional cost. You can talk directly with our tailor to sort out details for an adequate time frame.
How much will the alteration cost?
We will evaluate your clothes and discuss your preferences to provide a price estimate for alterations or repairs. Costs depend on factors such as the number of alterations needed, the size, condition, and age of the clothing, and the type of fabric used.
Fabrics like linen, cotton, wool, and denim are easier to work with, while delicate fabrics like silk, cashmere, and chiffon require more care. Adding extra details like embroidery, beadings, and tulle can also affect the price.

What is the difference between a seamstress and a tailor?
There are distinct variations between a seamstress and a tailor, even though both engage in sewing and repairing garments. A seamstress’s primary role involves sewing, repairing, and occasionally creating garments from the beginning.
In contrast, a tailor specialises in creating garments that are tailored to fit individuals of all body types, ensuring a perfect fit through customisation and alterations. When it comes to suits, jackets, and formal wear, tailors are skilled at altering garments to enhance their fit and comfort.
They ensure that every garment is tailored to the wearer’s unique body shape and personal style by meticulously measuring and making precise adjustments. Ultimately, a seamstress focuses on various sewing tasks and mending, while a tailor specialises in ensuring that every customer receives an impeccable fit.
Can a tailor make my suit slimmer?
Yes, a skilled tailor can make your suit slimmer if you want it to look more tailored. A tailor changes the suit’s measurements so that it fits you perfectly.
This makes you look better and feel better. Someone who works as a tailor can change the length of the pants and sleeves to make the suit look slimmer.
A tailor is very skilled and can make the sides of a jacket smaller, the pants slimmer, or the sleeves on a ready-to-wear suit shorter to make a one-of-a-kind masterpiece that fits your body type and style. The extra care not only makes the suit fit better, but it also looks better, which makes you look sharp and put-together.
What type of alterations do you specialise in?
Our business, LookSmart Broadmeadows, specialises in several different services like the following:
Will my alteration be noticeable?
You won’t find any difference at all. Our expert team of seamstresses and master tailors takes much pride in their craft and sees to it that your suits are fitted to perfection, but detailed so meticulously as to give you confidence.
Our clothing experts expertly reweave threads to ensure a seamless finish without any signs of repair. On multiple occasions, we repair invisibly from inside the garment for your beautiful dresses and suits.
Is dry cleaning included in the alteration service?
After we’ve met your needs, we can dry clean your item for an extra fee. After we’ve met your needs, we can dry clean your item for an extra fee. When you get your garment the next day, it will be ready to wear.
Fabrics that are easy to damage like cashmere, silk, and suede can be cleaned by us in a thorough yet careful way. We’d be glad to dry clean your garments for you!
Do you offer any guarantee on your alterations?
We guarantee our clothing alterations in four ways: Re-alteration Guarantee – we’ll re-alter your garment if you’re not happy – free if we can’t complete the new alterations on the same day, and we’ll deliver the altered garment to your house or business for free. Our hems are meant to last just as long as your garments—that’s our guarantee.
And if the alteration didn’t live up to your expectations, our 100% Money Back Guarantee provides a full refund. Furthermore, should you like another tailor within our price range more than us, these alteration costs are covered using our Competitor Guarantee. We also give a receipt value or fair value on garments damaged during alteration. All claims against these guarantees have to be made within 4 weeks from receipt.
