What customers say about LookSmart Burwood
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a tailor do?
Our tailors in Burwood will alter, modify, and repair suits, dresses, and clothing according to your preferences and body shape. We’ll arrange fittings, take measurements, and provide timely style advice to make necessary alterations and achieve your desired fit.
We turn off-the-rack suits and dresses into the perfect attires so you feel confident and comfortable in your own skin. Experience that tailored suit appeal and quality out of pre-loved outfits by choosing our range of alteration services.
In Burwood and across all our alteration stores in Australia, we meticulously tailor your garments to your exact measurements. There’s no reason to dispose of used garments and dresses, as we’ll restore them like brand-new ones while highlighting your best features so you can rock your style with grace and confidence.
What do you wear to get tailored?
We can get the exact measurements of your everyday casuals. But our master tailors recommend the following tips to wear and bring on your initial consultation or suit-fitting appointment:
- Bring the shoes/footwear you plan on wearing with the custom suit.
- Wear a dress shirt that should go with the suit to be tailor-fitted to the correct length and measurements. It also gives you a sneak peek of the finished product.
- For dresses, wedding dresses, and any garments above the waist, wear a proper bra or shapewear you plan to wear with the outfit.
With alteration services from our master tailors, you can experience perfectly fitting suits that complement your personal tastes while concealing trouble areas.
How long does an alteration or tailoring take?
How long it takes to finish an alteration will depend on the type of garment or suit and the complexity of the job. Peak seasons also affect turnaround times, especially when working with bulk fittings during the New Year or wedding seasons.
We usually provide a 24-hour turnaround for simple alterations and bespoke tailoring. Leave your clothes and attires for tailor-fitting, and you can pick it up tailored to be worn on the go!
Our expert tailors in Burwood can provide 24-hour turnaround for most simple alteration services. With LookSmart Alterations, you get only the best quality and a stress-free experience with a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Whether rushing for last-minute suit alterations and outfit changes for a local theatre date, a business meeting, or dressing up for a night out in Burwood, LookSmart Alterations provides expert tailoring services so that you look your best on all occasions.
Bulk tasks and larger-scale alterations often take longer, such as altering several tailored suits and having our bespoke tailors fit out entire bridal parties.

How much will the alteration cost?
When determining the cost of alteration, we’ll first assess the suit and discuss your special request (if any). Transforming off-the-rack suits into custom-fitted masterpieces will consider the following factors:
Type of Clothing & Alteration Job
Fitting and altering everyday clothes and casual dresses is easier and cheaper than altering wedding dresses or multi-layered suits. Moreover, shortening suits or taking in garments is easier and may cost less than taking them out or lengthening them.
Number of Alteration Jobs
Our experienced tailors determine how many alterations they need to make before determining the price. For example, a business suit that only needs hemming or taking in will cost less to alter than fitting it, taking in, and shortening it in one job.
Condition and Age
The age and overall condition of the tailored suit will influence the alteration costs. Is it a hand-me-down or a brand-new suit in the wrong size?
Worn-out suits require more repairs to alter and fit than brand-new ones. Finding matching fabrics for old suits is also harder, making it more costly to lengthen and let out.
Fabric Type
The type of fabric used directly influences the cost of the job depending on the material and how we can fit them to your body shape. Many fabrics, such as premium wools, lace, and silk are very delicate and harder to work with than others.
Extra Details
Adding exquisite details to the suits, such as beading, tulle, and embroidery, can enhance the outfit’s overall look. Although the complexity of these details and accessories may cost a bit extra, they go a long way toward creating a masterpiece you can be proud of wearing.
What is the difference between a seamstress and a tailor?
Seamstresses sew clothes, fabrics, and garments for a living. On the other hand, tailors alter and modify outfits to properly fit a customer and enhance their best features while hiding trouble areas.
Our Burwood tailors and seamstresses provide more customised tailoring services and create tailor-fitted suits. We put more effort into working with bespoke suits and dresses since these often require custom alterations to fit your body shape perfectly.
Can a tailor make my suit slimmer?
Definitely! We’ll gladly breathe new life and style into your used suits and brand-new outfits with a tailor-made feel and quality. At your fitting appointment, we’ll take your measurements and determine the necessary adjustments to make your suit look and fit perfectly.
Your clothes should fit your body, not the other way around.
Our experienced tailors work with wedding and business suit alterations to give discerning gentlemen a sharp and professional look on their special day. We cater to unique client needs and ensure that no off-the-rack suit is too tight, loose, or plain for important occasions.
You also get bespoke advice from our expert tailors on achieving your best look and making a lasting impression wherever you go.
What type of alterations do you specialise in?
Wherever you are in Burwood, your nearest LookSmart Alterations store offers the following services:
- Clothing alterations
- Wedding dress alterations
- Suit alterations
- Bespoke tailoring
We’ll also dry clean your garments for an additional cost, so as soon as you pick your suit up from any of our stores, you’ll be ready to go and confident for your next business meeting or trip.
Will my alteration be noticeable?
A few loose threads and visible seams can ruin your confidence and indicate poor alteration quality. Our seamstresses and master tailors pay attention to detail to create a tailor-fitted masterpiece that builds your confidence and fits your budget.
We’ll restyle and repair all clothes and suits without alteration. Look and feel great with your pre-loved off-the-rack clothes with LookSmart Alterations.
In special cases where a dress or suit has tears, rips, or holes, we have mending services to help extend the life of your favorite garment.
Is dry cleaning included in the alteration service?
We can provide dry cleaning services after the alteration and tailor-fitting at an additional cost. That way, you’re ready to rock your dress and wear your style as soon as you leave our store.
We also dry-clean delicate fabrics such as silk, premium wools, suede, satin, velvet, and cashmere. Leave your perfectly fitted suits to us for dry cleaning, and pick them up in pristine condition.
Do you offer any guarantee on your alterations?
We take pride in our craft through high-quality work and exceptional service. We provide our customers with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. At LookSmart, we provide a quadruple guarantee on all garments and alterations.
Re-alteration Guarantee: If you’re not satisfied with how the alteration comes out, we’ll re-alter it on the spot for free. If it’s impossible to finish the alteration within the day, we’ll deliver it to your address at no extra cost. All our hems are guaranteed for the life of the garment.
100% Money Back Guarantee: If you’re still unsatisfied after the re-alteration, we will refund 100% of the cost.
Competitor Guarantee: Still not satisfied? We will pay for your garment to be altered by a different tailor or suit shop of your choice, not exceeding our prices.
Damaged Garment Guarantee: If your clothes get damaged during alteration or get lost while in our store, we will reimburse the amount presented with the garment’s receipt or the fair value.
Note that claims against these guarantees must be presented within 4 weeks from the date of receipt.
