Let’s face it, there aren’t many of us who can buy a garment that fits perfectly, as most require a little taking in or a hem drop in order to fit perfectly, yet there are specialist firms that can alter garments to make them fit you better. 

Important Social Occasions
This is when we really want to look our best, whether we are going to a wedding or a formal evening event, and providing you have your outfit a week or so before the event, you can have a professional seamstress work her magic on your suit or gown. If you would like to source such a business, search online for Looksmart Alterations, who are an Australian firm with more than 120 outlets across the country, there’s bound to be one nearby. 

Wedding Gowns & Men’s Suits
If ever there was a time to look your absolute best, it would be on your wedding day, and should that gorgeous wedding dress need some minor alterations, search online for the nearest Looksmart branch and the issue will be resolved. 



The Art of Invisible Mending
If you have a favourite jacket, dress or even pair of jeans that requires mending, look no further, as this type of firm can carry out invisible mending on almost any garment. Broken zips, missing buttons and loose hems can all be fixed very quickly, and in some cases, a same day service is available. 

Dry Cleaning
This type of firm would also offer a dry cleaning service for those special occasions when you wish to wear an outfit that could do with a professional clean. The provider would guarantee your garments to be dry cleaned, pressed and returned to you within 24 hours, which is hard to beat, and if you have any special instructions, you can post this on their website. 

Personalise with Professional Embroidery
If you would like to make a garment really stand out, why not have some embroidery added, for that personal touch? If you already have a design in mind, they are happy to work to that, but if you would like some suggestions, the experts are more than willing to help. You might, for example, like to have your initials embroidered onto your favourite silk shirt and this can be done with a professional seamstress, who has both the know-how and the machinery to do the work to a very high standard. 

Have your best clothing altered to fit you perfectly and you won’t regret it.
