If you have a dream dress in mind, we can make it for you. Our friendly and talented designers and dressmakers will take you through our “dream to dress” process, designing and creating your unique dress.
You’ll have a stunning dress for that special event, one that is specially designed to flatter your unique figure and fit comfortably.
Select stores provide dressmaking in Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne, Brisbane, Cairns, Perth and Auckland, NZ.
Our dressmakers specialise in creating custom-made formal dresses, made-to-measure suits (for business or formal occasions), costumes, and all other custom clothing. Our professional dressmakers can bring your vision to life.
LookSmart dressmakers can create suits for the groom and groomsmen. We can also alter or create bespoke bridesmaid, flower girl, and mother of the bride dresses.
Everyone wants to look their best (and be comfortable) at that special event. LookSmart’s highly experienced dressmakers can create your one-of-a-kind formal gown or suit that will help you turn heads and enjoy your event with confidence.
A custom-made suit tailored to your exact body shape is a worthwhile investment. It’s a wardrobe staple you will return to again and again. A made-to-measure suit will give you the confidence to make a great first impression, enjoy an evening out while feeling (and looking) amazing, and attend business functions looking your best.
Our dressmakers can create all types of garments, from modern suits to classic pieces.
Stand out from the crowd with a custom-made costume for that special fancy dress party or convention with the help of a dressmaker. We create costumes from scratch, with careful attention to fit, comfort, and detail.
From your imagination to the final fitting, our talented and experienced dressmakers bring you along during the collaborative process. By the end of our service, you’ll have a perfectly fitted, unique garment you’ll be able to enjoy for years to come.
Step 1
The first step is to have an initial consultation at one of our dressmaking locations. We will review your inspiration and ask questions to help capture the essence of your event or design direction.
Step 2
Once we have thoroughly reviewed your design with you, we will ask you to choose the right fabric for your garment. Then we will take your measurements.
Step 3
Now that we have everything we need to get started, we’ll create the pattern, cut and sew, and meet with you for an initial fitting.
Step 4
Based on your initial fitting and any feedback you have, we will further refine the garment and then have a final fitting. At this fitting, we will ensure you are happy with the final product.
Step 5
Once you are happy with the final look and fit, you will be able to take your custom-made garment home. Your custom-made outfit is yours to enjoy!
Our dressmaking service is for anyone who wants a custom-designed piece or outfit. This service is ideal for:
– Clients who want a better fit than off-the-rack clothing
– Special events that call for a one-of-a-kind design
– People with specific fit, comfort, mobility, or sensory needs
– Anyone wanting personalised fabrics, finishes, or design details
Whether it’s for a big interview, event, or a statement piece, dressmaking gives you control over how your garment looks, feels, and fits.
Simply enter your details below and our team will happily answer any questions or concerns you have.
Most of our custom garments require two to three fittings. Typically, this includes an initial fitting, and then we make more refinements and have a second fitting. At this stage, most people are ready to take their garment home.
If there is still anything that needs adjusting, we will do this, then have another fitting. Our dressmakers will continue refining and checking the fit until you are happy with the final product.
