Tess Fashions, Brisbane
This clothing alteration business is a favourite in Brisbane. I’ve only ever heard good things and most of those assessments are coming from males so this business is definitely doing something right! Reasonably priced with amazing service? Sign me up!
May’s Fashions & Alteration Service, Upper Mt Gravatt
Southsiders, rejoice! There’s a really good clothing alteration business just off Logan Road. I’ve been getting trousers hemmed here for years and I even got my year 12 formal dress altered here (to perfection). It’s a hidden gem and not even a two-minute drive from Westfield Garden City. Being so close to a shopping centre means you have an excuse to go shopping afterwards, yay!
Brisbane City Clothing Alterations, Brisbane
Not only is this place going to save your hemlines but it’s super cool inside too! BCCA can mend, alter, reshape and restructure any garment. They look after both men and women and offer a whole range of other services too. Pesky internet purchases not fitting the way you want? Well, they can help with that too! BCCA can work with leather, wedding dresses and other wedding day garments, create promotional material and repair your clothing.
Sal’s Clothing Alterations, Browns Plains
People who live even further south rejoice! Sal’s is located right near Grand Plaza Shopping Centre in Browns Plains. A friend of mine gets his suits altered here and said he couldn’t even notice, it was so seamless. They also do women’s alterations, including bridal, formal, leather, delicate garments, beading, sequins, knitwear and lace. It’s perfect for those who live on that side of town and don’t want to trek all the way to the city!
