Clothing Repair Services
We all have pre-loved pieces in our wardrobes or closets that weren’t used for a long time due to wear & tear. Whether rips, broken zips, burns, or holes, we provide invisible mending on select shops to restore them to perfect and pristine condition.
All our repairs are protected with our quadruple guarantee. Dry cleaning services are included upon your request, so you’ll leave with a style-ready outfit as soon as you pick it back up from our shop.
In an invisible mend, our meticulous seamstresses take individual threads from the fabric’s interior and reweave them to the damaged area. This process takes more time than sewing or patchwork, as the threads are carefully woven to match the pattern and colours of the material, making the repaired area imperceptible. The results depend greatly on the material used, and this is a specialist service only offered in a few locations.
LookSmart is the world’s largest tailoring & dry cleaning company specialising in Australia & New Zealand. We also offer clothing alterations & dry cleaning services in Sydney, Canberra, Perth, Melbourne, Brisbane, Hobart, Adelaide, & other areas of Australia. Some of our other services include:
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a tailor do?
Our master tailors will restyle, alter, and modify suits, dresses, pants, and other pieces to your body shape and match your desired fit. Visit us at Watergardens Town Centre, and we’ll take your measurements and provide expert alterations, such as shortening or lengthening suits and taking in or letting out garments and dresses.
Get expert styling and fashion advice from our stylists and tailors on making the most of your altered and tailor-fitted suit. We transform store-bought suits and garments into the perfect outfit for the perfect occasion that fits our customers’ shapes and budgets.
At LookSmart Alterations in Taylors Lakes, you can experience a broad range of alteration and tailoring services, all with a quadruple guarantee to ensure 100% satisfaction with your hems and tailored suits. You don’t have to discard garments of the wrong size; have our experienced tailors enhance them to their best fit.
What do you wear to get tailored?
Being strategically located at the heart of Watergardens Town Centre means you get expert tailoring right when needed. Feel free to wear your everyday clothing or work garments when you visit us at our Taylors Lakes shop for alterations.
For jeans, trousers, and everything below the waist, we recommend bringing the footwear you plan on wearing with the outfit so we can take the perfect length and give you an idea of how everything should look once alterations are finished.
How long does an alteration or tailoring take?
Our tailoring services have a fast turnaround time, with most simple jobs finished by the next day. Turnaround times for bulk projects and complete reworks often take longer, particularly for invisible mending, adding details, or fitting out entire bridal parties.
Whether you need a team of tailors for last-minute preparations for your upcoming wedding day, a quick adjustment from a store-bought piece from retailers like Myer, Cotton On, or H&M, or preparing for your race day outfit to cheer your favourite horseracing team at the Melbourne Cup, LookSmart got you covered.
How much will the alteration cost?
The cost of your alterations will depend on realistic factors about the garment, the number of jobs necessary, and your desired fit. Those factors include:
Type of Alteration
Simple alterations such as hemming and shortening will take less time and cost less than complete reworks and restyling. More complex jobs, such as tailor-fitting a piece or letting out a wedding dress, may take time and will cost a few extra.
Number of Alteration Jobs
The number of jobs required to achieve your desired fit will affect the alteration’s turnaround time and cost. Adjustments that only require a single job, such as lengthening or taking in, will cost less than multiple alterations.
Condition and Age
The fabric’s age and condition will determine how easy it is to work with the garment, and whether the material is readily available in stock for repairs and lengthening jobs.
Fabric Type
Delicate fabrics such as chiffon, suede, and velvet are sensitive to heat and are more prone to deform or get damaged, making them more meticulous to work with and harder to source. The fabric type will slightly affect the cost of alterations and repairs.
Extra Details
Adding extra details and highlights, such as laces, embroidery, tulle fabric, and beadings, all enhance the garment’s overall look and feel.
What is the difference between a seamstress and a tailor?
Seamstresses sew garments, suits, and dresses for a living while tailors mostly alter and restyle suits or dresses to fit a customer’s body shape. At LookSmart, our team of tailors and seamstresses aim to highlight the wearer’s best features while concealing trouble areas.
Experience same-day restyling and alterations at LookSmart Alterations in Taylors Lakes. We’ll expertly alter store-bought pieces and turn your designs into reality from scratch.
Can a tailor make my suit slimmer?
Definitely! Your clothes should fit your body, and not the other way around.
Breathe new life into your off-the-rack suits with a bespoke, tailor-fit feel that makes you more confident in your own skin and enhances your overall style. Entrust your garments to LookSmart Alterations, and we’ll ensure you walk away with a tailored suit with a perfect fit and feel.
Look elegant and dazzling as you walk the aisle or nail your presentation with a custom-fitted suit altered to your specifications. Every client has a unique need and style, so leave it to us, and you’ll stand out and look confident in front of a crowd.
What type of alterations do you specialise in?
Choose from the following alteration services::
Whether you’re visiting to restyle your suit, dress, or entire outfit, our professional tailors will adjust it to the right measurements and dry clean it so it’s ready to be worn as soon as you pick it up.
Will my alteration be noticeable?
Loose threads, imperfect seams, and poor sewing can lead to an improper fit, ruin your confidence, and impact your self-presentation. At LookSmart, we pay attention to the smallest details when altering, repairing, and mending your clothes to ensure minimal signs of alterations.
If your business suit needs a seamless repair from tears, holes, scratches, or rips, our select LookSmart shops offer invisible mending. Individual threads will be meticulously taken from the suit’s interior and carefully rewoven into the damaged areas, leaving an invisible repair.
Is dry cleaning included in the alteration service?
You can request our Taylors Lakes shop to add dry cleaning to your alteration service for an extra cost. Upon confirming your request, we’ll dry clean your outfit, carefully handling and pressing it to achieve a fresh, pristine, and wrinkle-free result, in addition to expert alterations and repairs.
Do you offer any guarantee on your alterations?
LookSmart takes pride in our excellent reputation across Taylors Lakes, the rest of Melbourne, Australia, and NZ. With over 120 stores in the area and 178+ tailors, we uphold the highest tailoring standards by employing professional tailors and providing friendly customer service.
