Why Tailoring Experience Matters: Clothing Alterations at Perth Tailoring Co vs Standard Alteration Stores

When most people think of clothing alterations, they imagine a simple fix—a hem, a taper, a waistband adjustment. And while many alteration stores or franchise chains offer basic services at quick turnaround times, there is a difference between a job that’s done and a job that’s done well.
At Perth Tailoring Co, we approach clothing alterations differently. Why? Because we are not just alteration technicians—we are qualified tailors and dressmakers, trained in the craft of making garments from the ground up. Every team member in our studio is formally trained, either in traditional tailoring or couture dressmaking. This is what sets us apart from your typical alterations store.
Alterations by Tailors, Not Just Seamstresses or Machinists
The biggest difference between us and a general alterations store is this: we know how garments are constructed, because we build them from scratch. That means when you bring us a suit jacket, a wedding gown, or even a pair of denim jeans, we’re not just looking to complete a task—we’re thinking about proportions, structure, and balance.
Take a simple jeans hem, for example. Most alteration stores will measure the length and chop it off. Done. But at Perth Tailoring Co, we assess the entire silhouette of the garment in proportion to your height, build, and the drop of the jean leg. We make sure the new length is balanced with the trunk of the garment—so it doesn't just fit, it flows. That’s not just tailoring. That’s craftsmanship.
Attention to Detail, No Matter the Job
Whether you’re having your wedding suit, your designer blazer, or your casual trousers altered, we treat every item with the same level of care. For us, tailoring isn’t just a service—it’s an art form and a responsibility.
At Perth Tailoring Co:• We pin and fit each garment on you, not just by guesswork.• We explain the process so you understand the why, not just the how.• We use hand-stitched finishes where required to retain the garment’s integrity.• We aim for invisibility—if you can’t tell it was altered, we’ve done our job right.
This is the same precision we apply when altering garments for luxury fashion houses such as Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Prada, Chanel, Tom Ford, Burberry, Miu Miu, Hugo Boss, Canali, Versace, Ermenegildo Zegna, Emporio Armani, Bally, and many more. These global brands entrust us with their garments—not just because of our awards, but because of our standard.
Competitive Pricing, Premium Service
While our attention to detail exceeds that of your average alteration chain, our pricing doesn’t. In fact, our clothing alteration prices are comparable to most city-based stores. The difference is what you walk away with.
You’re not just leaving with a pinned and stitched garment—you’re leaving with knowledge, confidence, and the assurance that your clothing has been handled by a professional tailor, not a sales assistant or machinist.
