Professional Dry Cleaner
When you’ve invested in high-quality clothing, proper care is essential to maintaining its longevity and pristine condition. The best way to keep your garments looking vibrant, soft, and perfectly fitted is through professional dry cleaning.
At LookSmart in Claremont, our technical expertise is for dry cleaning of delicate fabrics like silk, cashmere, suede, lace, velvet, satin, chiffon, and wool. Entrusting these delicate materials to a household washing machine risks irreversible damage from shrinkage or stretching.
Instead, allow our tailored dry cleaning services to meticulously clean and care for your investment pieces. This includes specialised treatment for formal wear like wedding dresses, suits, and evening gowns – ensuring they stay looking their absolute finest.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a tailor do?
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
What do you wear to get tailored?
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.
How long does an alteration or tailoring take?
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.
How much will the alteration cost?
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.
What is the difference between a seamstress and a tailor?
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.
Can a tailor make my suit slimmer?
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.
Let us breathe new life into your cherished garments with personalised, professional tailoring at LookSmart Claremont.
What type of alterations do you specialise in?
No matter your style, occasion, or outfit, you can rest assured that Claremont’s most talented and capable stylists and dressmakers are taking care of you.
We provide quick and expert alterations for the following:
- Bespoke tailoring
- Clothing alterations
- Wedding dress alterations
- Suit alterations
We also provide dry cleaning services (at an additional cost), so you’re glam-ready and confident for your next business meeting when you pick up your dress or suit from our store.
Will my alteration be noticeable?
Even small issues like loose threads can ruin the look and feel of your clothes. Our expert tailors and seamstresses can fix those problems to restore your confidence, whether you’re wearing the outfit for a show, report, or performance.
We don’t just alter your suits—we look at every tiny detail to make your garments look like true masterpieces. Our tailors can restyle and repair all kinds of clothing without leaving any trace of the alterations.
If you have a valuable dress or suit with tears, rips, or holes, we offer invisible mending services at many of our locations. We carefully reweave individual threads from the inside of the garment to seamlessly fix the damaged areas.
By choosing our alteration services, you can make your pre-loved and off-the-rack clothes fit you perfectly and look and feel great.
Is dry cleaning included in the alteration service?
No, after we alter and tailor-fit your garment to your measurements and preferences, we can dry clean for an extra fee.
We also provide dry cleaning for delicate fabrics such as suede, silk, velvet, satin, premium wool, cashmere, and suede. For your perfectly fitted suit, leave it to us for dry cleaning, and you can pick it up the next day in a fresh and pristine condition. Let us clean it for you.
