Frequently Asked Questions
What does a tailor do?
Our Chermside tailors repair, alter and restyle suits, dresses, and garments to fit your style, body shape, and specifications. Visit us at Westfield Shopping Centre Chermside to get the trusted services loved by millions of customers in Australia.
What do you bring to get tailored?
Most of our customers are on the go and sometimes only have time to visit during public holidays, so wearing your work clothes or everyday casuals is okay when getting measured for tailor-fitting. But whenever you can, we advise wearing appropriate shapewear or dress shirts you plan to wear with the suit or dress so our stylists can measure the perfect length and size.
Bringing shoes or footwear that goes with the outfit is a good idea for anything below the waist. That way, we can take the perfect length and give you an idea of how you should look or walk once the alterations are finished.
How long does an alteration or tailoring take?
All our alteration and dry cleaning services have a 24-hour turnaround time. Be it dresses, suits, or garment alterations, we’ve got you covered. More complex jobs, such as fitting an entire bridal party or entourage, will take a bit longer than casual repairs. Visit us at Westfield Chermside Shopping Centre or contact us at (02) 9637 8222 and check out our full range of alteration services.
How much will the alteration cost?
We’ll first assess your garment before providing a fixed price. The following factors impact the alteration and tailoring costs:
Type of Alteration
Quick jobs like shortening or hemming a dress/suit are easier than restyling or creating custom wedding dresses. The type of alteration involved (lengthening, shortening, taking in, letting out, etc.) will also affect the overall cost.
Number of Alteration Jobs
Business suits that only need quick hemming, patchwork, or taking in will cost less than lengthening and restyling. Our team at Westfield Chermside will discuss your desired fit and determine how many jobs are required to achieve it.
Condition and Age
Working with brand-new and worn-out clothes, while not night-and-day, will involve varying workmanship. Damaged suits and garments will need invisible mending to achieve a seamless result, and finding matching fabrics and patterns for patchwork may be hard to source for older suits/dresses.
Fabric Type
Sourcing premium fabrics such as silk, lace, velvet, suede, wool, and cashmere adds to the cost and may require more delicate handling than versatile and cheaper fabrics.
Extra Details
Adding custom laces, tulle fabric, beadings, and embroidery creates accents and highlights for your outfit. These accessories and details all add to the job’s complexity, but nothing our expert tailors can’t handle.
What is the difference between seamstresses and tailors?
Seamstresses are experts in sewing clothes and wedding dresses from scratch. Conversely, tailors precisely adjust, fit, and restyle suits and garments to match your exact specifications. We hem garments and adjust clothes, mending damaged areas in our Chermside shop at Westfield. You can also choose us for bespoke dressmaking and dry cleaning services.
Can you make my suit slimmer?
Yes, and in no time! We turn off-the-rack suits and pre-loved coats into tailor-fitted masterpieces. Visit us at Westfield Chermside, and our expert tailors will take your measurements and make the necessary adjustments to achieve your desired fit.
Leave your business suits and trousers in our shops, and have our stylists tailor them to your specifications. Whether you want to look defined and charming as you walk the aisle or present your proposals, we have the answer to your style needs.
Every client has a different fit and style they want for their garments, as some are bought too tight, loose, or plain to stand out in a crowded event.
What type of alterations do you specialise in?
LookSmart offers same-day alteration services in Chermside for the following:
You also get a dry cleaning service for all your alterations and hems (additional cost), leaving you with high quality and style-ready garments the next day.
Will my alteration be noticeable?
Maintaining a high level of workmanship means paying attention to the smallest detail. Our master tailors leave no trace of seams and alterations in our services. Loose threads and improper seams can result in a low quality finish and an improper fit that could ruin your confidence and affect motion when performing or presenting yourself in front of an audience.
Our invisible mending service is useful and highly proven when dealing with damages, tears, holes, and rips in suits/dresses. Here, we carefully take individual threads from your garment’s interior and meticulously reweave them onto the damaged areas for a perfect finish.
Is dry cleaning included in the alteration service?
You can request to have the garment dry-cleaned after altering them so they’re style-ready as soon as you claim them back.
At LookSmart, we are experts in handling delicate fabrics such as velvet, satin, silk, cashmere, suede, and wool, preventing any risk of shrinkage and stretching. Entrust your valuable garments to us and pick them up fresh as new.
Do you offer any guarantee on your alterations?
At LookSmart Alterations, we are the most trusted alteration team for first-time and repeat customers. Maintaining the highest standards in our expertise involves training and housing qualified and expert staff, producing high-quality work, and providing friendly customer service, topped with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Enjoy our quadruple guarantee on all your garments and alterations.
