The Most Trusted Tailor Claremont Has To Offer

Our expert tailors in Claremont will repair, alter, and modify your garments based on your preferences and specifications. We’ll take your measurements, arrange fittings, and give fashion and style advice to determine which adjustments are needed to achieve your dream fit.
At LookSmart, we turn off-the-rack attires into the perfect suit to make you feel comfortable in your own skin. We provide a wide range of alteration services to provide that tailored suit appeal and quality out of pre-loved outfits.
You can have us meticulously tailor your dress or suit to your exact measurements and body shape. There’s no reason to throw out old garments and dresses as we’ll restore them to their best quality, highlighting your best features and complimenting your best angles to make you look more confident and graceful

Our skilled tailors expertly craft custom suits that fit you perfectly and complement your personal style, discreetly concealing any problem areas. We often have clients wear their everyday casual clothes when getting measured for a bespoke suit, allowing accurate measurements in relaxed attire.

For your initial dressmaking or suit-fitting consultation at our Claremont store, we recommend:

• Bring the shoes you’ll wear with the suit
• Wear a coordinating dress shirt. This helps the tailor fine-tune the fit and preview the full ensemble.

Our experts can then perform intricate alterations to ensure you look your best in the finished suit.

The turnaround time for garment or suit alterations depends on the complexity of the work and whether you visit during peak seasons like New Year’s or wedding season when demand is highest.

In general, simple suit alterations and bespoke tailoring can be completed within 24 hours. Your freshly tailored and dry-cleaned item will be ready for pickup, thanks to our expert tailors’ commitment to providing 24-hour turnaround on most services. We guarantee 100% satisfaction with the quality of our work.

Larger-scale tasks, such as altering multiple suits or outfitting an entire bridal party, will naturally take longer. Visit our nearest store and we’ll be happy to answer any questions about our professional alteration services.

Before determining the alteration cost, we assess the suit or clothing and consider your specific request. Transforming an off-the-rack suit into a custom-fitted masterpiece involves several factors:

Type of Alteration
Altering everyday clothing is generally simpler than working on a wedding dress. For instance, shortening or taking in a suit is easier than lengthening or letting it out.

Number of Alteration Jobs
Our experienced tailors evaluate how many alteration tasks are required. A suit needing just one adjustment, like hemming or taking in, will cost less than one requiring multiple jobs like fitting, taking in, and shortening.

Condition and Age
The condition and age of the tailored suit also impact the alteration cost. Worn-out suits may need more extensive repairs for proper fitting, and matching fabrics for lengthening or letting out can be challenging to source.

Fabric Type
The fabric type affects alteration pricing due to the materials and the expertise needed to fit them to your unique body. Delicate fabrics like silk and lace require extra care and can incur additional costs.

Extra Details
Adding embellishments like beading, tulle, or embroidery can create stunning accents and upgrade the overall look. However, the complexity of these details may result in extra charges.

Our tailors are experts at altering and adjusting clothes to fit you perfectly, including hemming, mending, and other alterations.

While we can also create custom-made suits and dresses, most of our work involves tailoring and adjusting existing garments. This is especially true for bespoke suits and formal dresses, which often require extensive alterations to achieve the perfect fit.

In summary, we specialise in professional tailoring and alterations to ensure your clothes look and fit their best.

We can expertly alter your suits and special occasion outfits to fit you perfectly. Just come to our nearest shop, and we’ll take your measurements to determine the adjustments needed.

Our experienced tailors work on everything from wedding suits to custom business attire. We know every person has unique fitting needs – some off-the-rack suits may be too tight, too loose, or just not stylish enough.

In addition to the alterations, our in-store stylists can provide expert advice to help you look your absolute best in your newly tailored outfit. We’ll ensure you make a great impression wherever you go.
