Frequently Asked Questions
What does a tailor do?
Our expert team in Mackay will repair, modify, restyle, and alter garments according to your desired fit and needs. Visit us at local Mackay store and we’ll take your measurements, discuss your tailoring needs, and provide important information on the necessary alterations that could achieve your desired fit.
We turn off-the-rack suits and garments into bespoke pieces that perfectly fit your shape and style. Enjoy a broad range of alterations, repair, and dry cleaning services that ensure a tailor-fit appeal and quality out of pre-loved garments.
What do you wear to get tailored?
We are strategically located in the heart of Caneland Central, the biggest shopping centre in the area. When we take your measurements, you can visit us wearing your everyday shopping outfit, business clothes, or casual attire.
If you have more time and room, you can also bring the footwear or dress shirt that goes with your outfit. This allows our tailors to take perfect measurements and give you an idea of how the outfit looks once alterations are completed.
How long does an alteration or tailoring take?
Minor repairs, adjustments, and basic alterations can be finished within the day, depending on the number of alterations in our Mackay shop. Complex reworks, invisible mending, and alterations will take longer to ensure you get the best fit and quality.
We can shorten jeans and pants within 1 hour, 30 minutes, or 15 minutes. Visit our nearest locations or speak with us at (07) 4957 3113 to learn more about our terms and conditions regarding pants shortening speeds.
How much will the alteration cost?
Our master tailors at Mackay will assess the garment’s condition and discuss your requests before providing a fixed quote. Alterations often involve the following factors to achieve your desired fit:
Type of Alteration
Basic alterations are quicker and easier to perform than complex reworks and restyling. For example, shortening jeans or trousers will cost you less time and money than lengthening or letting them out.
Number of Alteration Jobs
The number of jobs required in a piece will affect the price. Besides, single-job alterations will cost less than multiple alterations, such as fitting, taking in, and shortening simultaneously.
Condition and Age
The condition and age of the garment will affect its workability and cost. Worn-out garments may require invisible mending and larger repairs than newly bought ones. Besides, it may be difficult to source matching patterns and fabrics for vintage garments.
Fabric Type
The material used will impact the cost of altering a piece. Some fabrics, such as silk, suede, and lace, are much more delicate to work with than others and might take extra time to produce the desired results.
Extra Details
Adding beadings, tulle fabrics, and embroidery, all create unique highlights and enhances how to look in your suit/outfit. These accessories add to the overall complexity of the design and may require more time and cost to achieve the desired look.
What is the difference between a seamstress and a tailor?
Seamstresses sew clothes and garments from fabrics, while tailors are responsible for altering them to fit a customer’s shape and desired fit. At LookSmart Mackay, we provide dressmaking and tailoring services to cater to all customers.
We also work with bespoke suits, dresses, and ball gowns, including other garments that require custom alterations to perfectly fit your body shape and highlight your best features.
Can a tailor make my suit slimmer?
Definitely! Let us bring new life into your pieces with a professional tailor-fitted appeal. Visit our Mackay shop and we’ll let you know which adjustments are necessary so you look good and feel good in your clothes.
We also provide expert alterations for wedding and business suits, for gentlemen looking for a sharp and professional look. Each client has unique fitting needs, but whether your suit is too tight, loose, or plain, we’ll work on it so you stand out and feel confident during life’s biggest moments.
