Mordialloc Alterations Studio

If there was more hours in a day……

Due to an increase in business I am fully booked till Monday 11 Dec then taking a few weeks off to arrange a very special 21st for my twins (there’s also a dress or two to make for the event).

I’ll be returning to work on Monday 8th January for all uniform alterations.

Thank you for all your support throughout the year and for entrusting me with your alterations.

We have created some amazing outfits this year apart from the day to day alterations. We’ve turned dresses into skirts, trench coats into blazers, added sleeves into summer dresses, removed sleeves and also the occasional kimono repair. Oh and the odd teddy bear surgery!!
I look forward to see you all in 2024!!

I love when a customer comes in and asks ‘can this be done!’
This Zimmerman dress had long sleeves and now it’s been transformed into a stylish cap sleeve dress.
Don’t think you need to throw out anything ask the question first and save clothing from landfill.
You’ve probably got some beautiful clothes with amazing fabric in your wardrobe that doesn’t fit correctly we can repurpose and reuse for years to come.

What’s that old saying: Do what you love and never work a day!
We’ll I love walking into my studio, changing the way my clients look and feel in their clothes.
I love alterering clothes, remodelling to fit or turning a garment into something completely different.
Some say it’s easier to send to landfill and buy off the shelf but the fabrics of the past will always be better quality than some of the disposable quality of today.
The below shirt was purchased for my client for work but it’s a Mens ‘S’ casual fit and it was like a sack on her in the body, shoulders and length. So I had no choice but to dissect every seam and rebuild it to fit her and make her feel like it’s hers.
That smile when she just tried it on makes my day every time, a perfect fit.
PS- I forgot to say thank you to my clients for entrusting me with making the changes to their garments.
