At the same time, we will help you find the perfect fit for your vesture, whether it’s a dress, a business suit, or a vest. also, we can conform it to your body shape!
What do you wear to get tailored?
When you come in for your fitting, it would be really awesome if you could wear the dress shirt or shapewear you plan to wear with your suit or dress, if possible.
For the waist down, it’s a good idea to bring shoes that go with your outfit. That way, we can ensure that everything will fit your body like you want. You also get expert advice on how to carry on with your new look.

How much will the alteration cost?
Before providing a quote, our skilled tailor will examine your item to ensure the best customisation and alteration prices, which are influenced by the following factors:
Type of Alteration
Adjusting or lengthening a dress or suit is much easier and quicker than creating custom wedding dresses or altering their style.
The total cost will vary based on the specific changes needed, like lengthening, shortening, taking in, or letting out.
Number of Alteration Jobs
You can save more money by having your business suits hemmed, patched, or taken in, rather than getting them lengthened and restyled.
Our seamstress team in Newcastle will have a friendly chat with you to understand your perfect fit and figure out the alterations required to achieve it.
Condition and Age
Repairing new and worn-out garments requires different levels of skill, but for a flawless finish, it can be a challenge to find matching materials and patterns for patching up older suits and dresses.
Fabric Type
Fancy materials like silk, lace, velvet, suede, wool, and cashmere can be pricier and require extra care than more versatile and budget-friendly materials.
Extra Details
By adding tulle fabric, embroidery, beadwork detail, and custom laces, your outfit will be embellished with lovely highlights and accents. While these extra details may add complexity to the task, our skilled couturiers can handle them.
What is the difference between a seamstress and a tailor?
Both can make clothes and can sometimes do hemming and mending.
However, a tailor generally works on suits, coats, and dresses, including ball gowns. Moreover, he or she alters clothing and wardrobe to ensure it will fit the customer’s body shape and size.
On the other hand, a seamstress sews clothes and fabric using designs and patterns. He or she may also have specialised skills such as baste stitching, crocheting, and placing embellishments.
At LookSmart, our expert team of tailors and seamstresses can turn any design and outfit to life! Nothing is impossible with our specialists, be it simple alterations or sewing a dress/suit from scratch.
Can a tailor make my suit slimmer?
From bespoke fleeces to bespoke suits, we love creating one-of-a-kind pieces. Our professional stylists will measure your body and adjust for a bespoke fit.
Our team’s expertise and commitment will ensure that your bespoke business vesture is the perfect fit for you.
Whether you aim to make a statement with a sharp look for a special day, donation, or a veritably special day or event, we have got you covered!

Will my alteration be noticeable?
Attention to every bitsy detail is pivotal for maintaining high-quality work. Our talented experts ensure their services don’t show visible seams or changes.
It is crucial to avoid loose vestments and sloppy seams when presenting yourself to an entourage. These can negatively impact your confidence and movement. Let the experts do the work for you.
We delicately remove individual threads from the inside of your clothing and skillfully reweave them onto the damaged areas. We guarantee that our repairs have a flawless finish for jackets, dresses, pants, jackets and men’s suits.
Is dry cleaning included in the alteration service?
Not only do we offer excellent service and expert tailoring, but our alteration and repair services also include dry cleaning (at an additional cost) to ensure that when you pick up your garments, they will be in impeccable condition and ready to wear.
