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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
