Need an experienced tailor and dry cleaner in North Lakes? Then you have come to the right place. LookSmart is your one-stop shop for clothing alterations, repairs, and dry cleaning. We are the tailor of choice for thousands of people in Queensland and service more than 1 million customers yearly at our 120+ locations across Australia and New Zealand.
Whether you require pants shortening or a full garment resized, we can alter your garment for the perfect fit.
Our professional team of tailors and seamstresses is experts in resizing, restyling, and repairing all garments, including wedding dresses. When you visit LookSmart, you can rest assured that you are in capable hands.
If you’ve invested in high-quality clothing and it needs special care, the best way to ensure its longevity is to have it professionally dry-cleaned. This will protect your garment’s colour and texture and prevent shrinkage and stretching, making your investment last much longer.
Our dry cleaners are experts in handling delicate fabrics like silk, cashmere, suede, laces, velvet, satin, chiffon and wool. Cleaning them with household washing machines might shrink, stretch, or worse, damage the fabric permanently. Let us clean it for you instead.
LookSmart specialises in dry cleaning wedding dresses and formal wear, including suits and gowns.

Most tailors can only shorten garments for you, but our exceptional tailors and seamstresses at LookSmart can do much more than just this. We can perform any clothing alteration for you, including the following:
Repairs – We can breathe new life into old and damaged clothing by sewing it up, adding buttons, fixing zippers, repairing holes and much more.
Shorten — Short people can have their pants, jackets, shirts, dresses, and much more shortened so they fit perfectly.
Lengthen – Tall people can get those short outfits lengthened just a bit to LookSmart and professional.
Restyle — Our seamstresses can restyle and repurpose any old and out-of-date outfit so that it looks brand new, modern, and stylish.
Take in – Did you lose weight? Instead of replacing your wardrobe, come and visit our store. Once again, we can get any outfits taken in to fit perfectly.
Let out – Does a dress fit too tight? We could loosen it up for you so it will fit great and you can feel comfortable in it.
We can make any alteration, and when you visit our store, you can also enjoy many other services, such as retail, dry cleaning, and even custom dressmaking (available in selected stores).

Tailors restyle, remodel, modify, and improve your dresses and suits to fit your shape and match your preferences. Our expert tailors in the North Lakes will take your measurements, discuss your specifications and requests, and make necessary adjustments to achieve your desired fit.
We transform store-bought suits into tailor-fitted outfits that emphasise your best features and make you feel comfortable and move easily in your own skin. Choose from our range of alteration services with a bespoke appeal and quality from pre-loved clothes.
After taking your measurements during the initial fitting, we’ll meticulously make necessary adjustments and shape within a quick turnaround time. Why throw away used dresses and give up on suits of the wrong fit? Our tailors can restore them to their best quality and tailor-fit to your size.
When you visit us at our shop in North Lakes for an initial fitting or suit alteration, we recommend bringing the footwear you plan on wearing with the outfit.
While we can also take accurate measurements on baggy clothes and everyday casuals, our master tailors recommend wearing a dress shirt or the appropriate shapewear that goes with your suit, dress, or garments above the waist.
Wearing garments that match the outfit helps us measure the perfect lengths and fit. Once alterations are made, you also get a good look at the outfit.
The time it takes to alter, restyle, and dry clean a suit or garment depends on the complexity of the adjustments and a few other relevant factors. However, most alterations, including dry cleaning, are completed within a fast turnaround time.
Our quick turnaround ensures that we’ve covered your style, whether you’re running last-minute outfit preps for a date, a night out at the Boardwalk, or a work gathering. Visit us at Shop/1015 N Lakes Dr, North Lakes, or contact us at (07) 3048 3477, to learn more about our turnaround times.
We’ll first evaluate the suit’s overall condition and discuss your special requests before we can provide a quote. Our alteration costs depend on the following factors:
Type of Alteration
Altering a wedding dress or multi-piece suit should take longer and more work than tailor-fitting and modifying casual garments such as pants, jackets, and casual outfits. Moreover, taking in and shortening the clothes is easier than lengthening or letting them out.
Number of Alteration Jobs
An alteration that only requires hemming or shortening will cost less and has a faster turnaround than a job that requires multiple refits and adjustments to achieve your desired fit.
Condition and Age
A suit’s age and condition also affect the cost of repair. Simply put, heavily worn-out clothes that are ripped, torn, and have holes will require mending.
Fabric Type
The pattern and fabric material used in your suit will also depend on how easy or difficult it is to alter it to your size. Premium and delicate fabrics such as silk and lace are fragile and will require careful alteration from our expert tailors compared to other materials.
Extra Details
Unique details, popping highlights, and embroidery enhance the overall look of your suit or dress. Visit our North Lakes shop today and let us know if you want extra details sewn into your outfit.
Seamstresses sew clothes, dresses, and garments for a living. On the other hand, a tailor restyles, fits, remodels, and alters a suit or outfit to a customer’s body shape and preferences in style or comfort.
Our expert tailors in North Lakes work with hemming, altering, and repairing suits and dresses tailored for every occasion.
Definitely! Your clothes are meant to fit your body shape, and not vice versa.
