Tailor Penrith - Clothing Alterations by LookSmart
LookSmart Alterations in Penrith is a specialist alteration service provider, conveniently located in the Westfield shopping centre. Offering clothing alterations and care options from repairs, dry cleaning and resizing. LookSmart is a one-stop-shop for all your clothing care needs.
Established in 1994, the founder of the LookSmart Alterations franchise found that most tailors were inconveniently located, and the prices, services and results were varied – so customers were waiting weeks for a simple job, and the results were not always as advertised.
By being located near major fashion retailers, LookSmart Alterations are the preferred partner when it comes to cleaning, altering and even repairing garments – and that is down to the fast, courteous, inexpensive and guaranteed quality of the tailoring that we offer.
LookSmart Alterations now has over 120 stores throughout Australia and New Zealand – with close to a million satisfied customers every year, the franchise is trusted and respected to give great service – guaranteed!
Dress Alterations in Penrith
Have you bought a dress online, only to find out that it doesn’t fit you like it fit the model? We have all done that, been frustrated by a purchase that wasn’t ‘perfect’. Before you send it back, why not bring it into LookSmart Alterations? Our stylists can work with you to alter the dress to fit and flatter your unique body shape, highlight your best features and minimise your trouble areas – so you can feel confident.
Any dress can be made to fit and feel like it was tailored for you – and at LookSmart Alterations we guarantee you will be happy with the results. Don’t forget that one of the most important services we offer is a 24-hour turnaround on some services – so even that last-minute purchase can be changed to fit your shape perfectly.
Aside from the changes we can make to a poorly fitting new dress, what about that lovely dress you have in your closet that no longer fits? Breathe new life into your old clothes by getting that dress altered to fit your shape now – whether that means taking it in or taking it out, our stylists can help you make that old dress fit like new!
One of the best ways to alter your dress is to restyle it! What about that out-of-fashion piece that you have from several decades ago, that was your mothers’ favourite? Our team can modify and upcycle that unfashionable piece to bring it right up to date, making sure that it is fitted to flatter you and highlight your best parts.
There is no better feeling that strolling into that party wearing a dress that is exclusive and unique – all eyes will be on you when you are wearing a piece that is fitted, flattering, and really makes your best features stand out! You won’t be self-conscious; instead you will be confident, graceful and feel like the most well-dressed in the room.

What customers say about LookSmart Penrith
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a tailor do?
Our tailors in Westfield Penrith will thoroughly alter suits, dresses, garments, and outfits to perfectly fit a customer’s body type and desired fit. That includes processes such as letting out, taking in, hemming, lengthening, and shortening, or a combination of any.
Visit us at on Level 1 near Just Cuts, Westfield Penrith, and we’ll take your measurements and provide expert alterations to achieve your desired fit.
What do you bring to get tailored?
As a tailoring shop catering to people on the go, we’re totally fine if you visit for an alteration wearing your casual clothes or work attire. Our professional tailors in Penrith will still take accurate measurements to provide a better fit and look.
If possible, we advise wearing the dress shirt, shapewear and footwear you plan to wear with the suit or dress to be altered. That would help us measure the perfect lengths and give you an idea of how the outfit should look once alterations are complete.
How long does an alteration or tailoring take?
Our turnaround times will depend on the number of alteration jobs you need, the quantity of garments you drop off, and the capacity of our Westfield Penrith store. Busy wedding seasons and year-end rush leads to higher demand and slower turnaround times.
At LookSmart, our years of experience and expansive reach with over 120+ stores across AU and NZ helped us develop efficient processes to ensure fast turnaround times for dress and garment alterations. Note that more complex restyle jobs like fitting entire bridal parties with bespoke dresses/suits will take longer than most basic alterations.
How much will the alteration cost?
The cost will depend on the garment type and the alterations required. The cost will also vary depending on the jobs required, such as:
Type of Alteration Needed
Basic alterations like dress shortening and hemming are easier than restyling and taking out suits and multilayered dresses.
Number of Alteration Jobs
Our expert tailors and seamstresses in Westfield Penrith and the rest of NSW will check your garments and let you know the number of alteration jobs required before we arrive at a final and fixed price. Suits that only need one job (hemming/taking in) often costs less than lengthening, letting out, and restyling simultaneously.
Condition and Age
Taking in a store-bought piece that’s one size bigger costs less than repairing and altering worn-out garments. That said, damaged suits may also need seamless repair and meticulous patchwork, often with rare matching fabrics that are hard to source.
Fabric Type
The materials we use for your garments will also determine the cost of alterations. Some pieces use premium and delicate fabrics like silk, premium wool, velvet, lace, and cashmere that take longer to work with than versatile and common fabrics.
At LookSmart Penrith, you’ll get a free and transparent quote with full disclosure on the processes we’ll perform to turn your off-the-rack suit into a custom-fitting piece.
What is the difference between a seamstress and a tailor?
Seamstresses are responsible for sewing fabrics into garments or clothes, while tailors fit, alter, and adjust clothes to a customer’s specific shape. Our experts in Westfield Penrith cater to all seamstress and tailoring needs.
LookSmart tailors in Penrith often work with bespoke suits, wedding dresses, and gowns, which all require custom alterations. However, we also cater to repairs and casual clothing alterations.
Can a tailor make my suit slimmer?
Definitely! LookSmart tailors in Penrith can resize your suit for a better fit. Your suit should fit your body shape, not the other way around.
Just drop your pieces off at our shop and we’ll take your measurements and desired fit. Our stylist tailors can turn old suits and pre-loved garments into stunning pieces with brand-new fit and feel. Each client has a unique style and fit for their store-bought garments, as some are bought too tight, loose, or plain to stand out in a crowded event.
Visit us in Westfield Penrith, and let us know about your alteration needs.
What kind of alterations do you specialise in?
At LookSmart Alterations in Westfield Penrith, we provide professional clothing alteration services for the following garments:
- Casual clothing
- Wedding dresses
- Corporate and Wedding Suits
- Bespoke tailoring
- Uniforms
You can also include dry cleaning on top of the alterations for an extra fee. When you opt for it, we’ll dry clean the garment after alterations so you’re ready to wear them as soon as you pick them up.
Will my alteration be noticeable?
All our alterations and repairs are made with attention to the smallest detail and leave no trace of seams and imperfections. A few hanging threads and improper seams are obvious signs of poor craftsmanship and could ruin your confidence wearing the altered piece.
For dresses and suits that require meticulous repair from damages, holes, and tears, we provide expert mending services.
Does the alteration service include dry cleaning?
You can opt to have dry cleaning included in your alterations at an extra cost. By choosing LookSmart Alterations, you’ll have a style-ready outfit as soon as you claim it back.
Entrust your delicate fabrics, like suede, satin, premium wool, cashmere, and velvet, with us, and we’ll carefully dry clean them using gentle solvents and detergent-free solutions, which easily damage the fabric.
Do you guarantee your alterations?
At LookSmart Alterations, we maintain the best reputation among first-time and repeat customers. We achieve the highest standards in our craft through qualified and expert staff, high-quality work, and friendly customer service, giving you a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Enjoy our quadruple guarantee on all your garments and alterations.
Re-alteration Guarantee: We will re-alter your suits and clothes if you’re dissatisfied with our results. All our hems are guaranteed for the life of the garment.
100% Money Back Guarantee: If you’re still not happy with the re-alteration, we will redo it and refund 100% of the cost.
Competitor Guarantee: Still not happy? We will pay for a third-party shop of your choice to fix your garment, not exceeding our prices.
Damaged Garment Guarantee: In the rare event that your suit, dress, or garment gets damaged during alteration or lost in our store, we will pay you the full amount stated in the garment’s receipt or its fair value.
Note that claims against these guarantees must be presented within 4 weeks from the date of receipt.
