The Best Tailor in Frankston
Frankston is an up-and-coming fashion hub on the Mornington Peninsula. It has several stylish shopping destinations, like Bayside Shopping Centre, and local events that draw a well-dressed crowd. So whether you’re shopping the latest trends or your clothing doesn’t quite fit to perfection, all you need is expert clothing repairs at LookSmart in Frankston.
Professional Dry Cleaner
When you’ve invested in premium clothing, proper care is essential to preserving its quality and longevity. The best way to ensure your garments maintain their vibrant colour, soft texture, and perfect fit is through professional dry cleaning.
At LookSmart Frankston, our dry cleaning experts are highly skilled in the delicate handling of fine fabrics like silk, cashmere, suede, lace, velvet, satin, chiffon, and wool. Entrusting these delicate materials to a household washing machine risks irreversible damage through 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 best.
Protect your fashion investments by choosing the premier dry cleaning destination in LookSmart located at Frankston.

What customers say about LookSmart Frankston
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a tailor do?
Our Frankston tailors can alter and repair dresses, business suits, and other articles of apparel to fit perfectly for your particular body type. We’ll schedule fittings, take your measurements, and provide styling advice to ensure you get the perfect fit.
We can transform your store-bought dresses and business suits into exquisite custom-fit outfits that our clients love to wear to any occasion. Choose from a variety of our formal wear alterations and repair options to give your clothing a new look and guarantee a fitted appearance.
Kindly provide your dimensions so that our tailors can precisely fit you in business suits and gowns. Used clothing that fits incorrectly doesn’t have to be thrown away. We can make miracles for you.
What do you wear to get tailored?
When you come in for your fitting, it would be super helpful if you could wear the dress shirt or shapewear you plan to wear with your suit or dress, if possible. For the bottom half, it’s a good idea to bring shoes that go with your outfit.
This way, after we make the adjustments, we can make sure everything fits just right and give you some tips on how to carry on life by yourself in your new look. And don’t worry if you can only make it on public holidays – we totally understand how busy life can get!
How long does an alteration or tailoring take?
Our friendly team can take care of your dry cleaning and alteration needs within a fast turnaround time, whether it’s gowns, suits, or clothing adjustments. For more complex tasks, like outfitting a whole entourage or bridal party, just swing by our location and check out our full range of alteration services.
Visit us in Bayside Shopping Centre or contact us at 03 9783 2399.
How much will the alteration cost?
Before giving you a quote, our professional tailor will inspect your item first. The following variables affect the price of customisation and alteration:
Type of Alteration
It’s way simpler to swiftly adjust or extend the length of a dress or suit than to create personalized wedding dresses or work on their style. The overall cost will depend on the specific corporate wear alterations required, such as lengthening, shortening, taking in, or letting out.
Number of Alteration Jobs
You’ll save more money by getting your business suits hemmed, patched, or taken in, compared to getting them lengthened and restyled. Our Frankstone VIC tailor team will chat with you to understand your perfect fit and determine the alterations needed to achieve it.
Condition and Age
Working with new and worn-out garments requires different levels of craftsmanship, but for a seamless finish, damaged suits and shirts must be invisibly repaired. However, it could be challenging to find matching materials and patterns for patchwork on older suits and dresses.
Fabric Type
Sourcing high-end materials such as silk, lace, velvet, suede, wool, and cashmere can be more expensive and may require more careful handling compared to more adaptable and affordable materials.
Extra Details
By incorporating tulle fabric, embroidery, beadings, and custom laces, your outfit will be adorned with beautiful highlights and accents. These extra details add complexity to the task, but our stylish tailors are more than capable of handling them.
What is the difference between seamstresses and tailors?
At our Bayside Shopping Centre store, our talented seamstresses specialise in creating custom clothing, including beautiful bridal gowns, while our professional tailors meticulously fit, restyle, and alter suits and other clothing items to your exact specifications. We also offer services such as mending damaged areas, hemming clothing, dry cleaning, and custom dressmaking.
Can a tailor make my suit slimmer?
Sure thing! Absolutely, at Bayside in Frankston, we’re all about creating one-of-a-kind pieces from second-hand coats and off-the-shelf suits without any delay. Our stylist tailor will take your measurements and make any necessary adjustments to ensure the perfect fit.
You can trust our skilled stylists to tailor your business suits and pants to your exact preferences by simply dropping them off at our shops. Whether you’re looking to impress with a sharp look for a proposal or a special occasion, we’ve got you covered!
What type of alterations do you specialise in?
LookSmart offers alteration services in Frankston for the following:
- Clothing alteration service
- Wedding dresses
- Corporate and Wedding Suits
- Bespoke tailoring service
Will my alteration be noticeable?
Paying close attention to every tiny detail is essential for maintaining a high standard of work. Our skilled tailors ensure that there are no visible seams or changes in the services they provide.
When sewing and you’re presenting yourself to an audience, it’s crucial to avoid loose threads and sloppy seams, as they can result in an unsatisfactory finish and an improper fit, which can negatively impact your confidence and movement.
For repairing rips, tears, holes, and other damages in dresses, pants and suits, our invisible mending service is both reliable and time-tested. With this service, we delicately remove individual threads from the inside of your clothing and skillfully reweave them onto the damaged areas, ensuring repairs have a flawless finish.
Is dry cleaning included in the alteration service?
LookSmart Frankston provides 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?
Whether you’re a new or returning customer, you can rely on LookSmart Alterations for all your alteration needs. We take great pride in our work and make sure to hire and train knowledgeable staff, provide top-notch service, and guarantee 100% satisfaction.
Remember to take advantage of our four-fold assurance for all your clothing adjustments. Just a heads up, any claims against these guarantees need to be made within four weeks of receiving your items.
