What customers say about LookSmart in the Charlestown
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a tailor do?
Our Charlestown tailors specialise in adjusting and fixing clothing items such as dresses and business suits to ensure they flawlessly fit your unique body shape. We will arrange fitting appointments, measure you, and offer styling advice to ensure you achieve the ideal fit.
We can convert your off-the-rack dresses and professional attire into beautiful, personalised clothes that our customers enjoy wearing for any event.
Select from a range of our formal and smart casual wear make, adjustment, and restoration services to refresh your clothes and ensure the right fit.
Please give us your measurements so our tailors can accurately reside and alter your business suits and gowns. Unsuitable-fitting second-hand clothes do not need to be discarded. We can perform miracles on your behalf.
What do you wear to get tailored?
When you arrive for your fitting, it would be greatly appreciated if you could wear jeans with the dress shirt or shapewear that you intend to wear with your suit or dress, if you can. It’s smart to wear shoes that match your outfit for the lower half.
After making the necessary changes, we will ensure that everything fits perfectly and guide how to maintain your business’s new appearance independently.
If you can only attend public holidays, there is no need to stress because we completely understand how hectic business life can be, especially on holidays!
How long does an alteration or tailoring take?
Our team is available to handle your dry cleaning and alteration requests for gowns, suits, and clothing adjustments within a short timeframe.
While we work on your apparel adjustment, you explore various shops, restaurants and boutiques at Charlestown Square.
Have your nails done and be relaxed at Top Nails & Spa, get some grub at Bakers Delight, or shop for clothes at Ally Fashion, Nike, or Cotton On. If you can’t find perfectly fitting garments from your favourite shops, pick the closest one, preferably a size bigger, and head on to our shop on Ground Floor, Shop G8035 (next to Bay Audio, opposite Star Nail & Beauty), Charlestown Square. We’ll alter it to your fit.
For more intricate needs, such as dressing an entire entourage or bridal party, simply visit our store and explore our complete selection of alteration services.
How much will the alteration cost?
Our professional tailor will inspect your item before providing you with a quote. The price of customisation and alterations is influenced by the variables listed below:
Type of Alteration: It is much easier to quickly alter or lengthen a dress or suit than to design custom-made wedding dresses or work on their design.
The total price will vary based on the specific changes needed for the corporate attire, like extending, reducing, adjusting, or loosening.
Number of Alteration Jobs: Altering or repairing your business suits will save you money compared to having them extended and redesigned. Our tailor team in Charlestown will work with you to determine your ideal fit and identify the adjustments required to achieve it.
Condition and Age: Repairing damaged suits and shirts, whether they are new or worn out, requires varying levels of skill to achieve a seamless finish. Nonetheless, it may be difficult to locate complementary materials and designs for patchwork on vintage suits and dresses.
Fabric Type: Obtaining luxurious materials like silk, lace, velvet, suede, wool, and cashmere may be costlier and demand more delicate care than more versatile, budget-friendly materials.
Extra Details: Acquiring lavish fabrics such as silk, lace, velvet, suede, wool, and cashmere may be more expensive and require gentler maintenance than more adaptable, affordable materials.
What is the difference between a seamstress and a tailor?
Both “tailor” and “seamstress” describe individuals who specialise in working with clothing, each having unique roles and expertise in garment creation and modification.
A tailor is an individual who focuses on creating, modifying, and fixing clothing, specifically bespoke attire like suits, jackets, and pants. Our tailors typically specialise in tailoring for men’s garments, but they also have experience working on tailored pieces for women.
A seamstress, on the other hand, is someone who stitches, especially someone who creates or mends clothes. The term typically describes a female who does these various sewing duties, but it can be used for anyone regardless of gender.
Can a tailor make my suit slimmer?
Definitely! At our Charlestown Square store, we specialise in making unique items by repurposing pre-owned jackets, shirts and ready-made suits promptly. Our stylist will measure you and make adjustments as needed for the ideal fit.
You can rely on our experienced stylists to customise your business suits and trousers to your specific liking by just leaving them at our stores. If you want to make a good impression with a stylish outfit for a presentation or a significant event, we have what you need!
What type of alterations do you specialise in?
LookSmart offers high quality tailoring services in Charlestown for the following:
- Clothing alterations
- Wedding dress alterations
- Corporate and Wedding Suits
- Bespoke tailoring service
Will my alteration be noticeable?
Focusing on each small detail is crucial to upholding a top-notch level of performance. Our expert tailors ensure that the services they offer have no noticeable seams or alterations.
When sewing in front of an audience, it is important to ensure there are no loose threads or messy seams, as these can lead to a poor outcome and a bad fit, affecting your confidence and ability to move properly.
Our invisible repair service is proven reliable and time-tested for fixing rips, tears, holes, and other damages in dresses, jeans, and suits.
Using this exceptional service only, threads are carefully extracted from the interior of your clothes and expertly reattached to the damaged areas, guaranteeing seamless repair.
Is dry cleaning included in the alteration service?
Once we’re done with the alteration, we can dry-clean your garment as an additional service.
We can offer dry cleaning for delicate fabrics like suede, silk, velvet, satin, premium wool, and cashmere. Trust us with your perfectly fitted suit, and pick it up within days in fresh and pristine condition.
