Our alteration and repair services
From hemming a simple pair of everyday trousers to tailoring intricate, award-winning bridal gowns, Laura Searle Clothing Alterations & Repairs has been delivering exceptional craftsmanship in Adelaide since 2000. Whether you require a routine fix or a complex redesign, every garment receives dedicated care and precision.
Tailored solutions for every wardrobe
We provide a comprehensive range of alteration and repair services from our welcoming home-based studio in Athelstone. No job is too large or too small.
Bridal and formal wear
Our award-winning specialty. I carefully adjust wedding dresses, bridesmaid gowns, and formal garments so they fit flawlessly for your special day.
Trouser alterations and hems
One of our most popular services. We expertly hem, taper, and take in or let out pants, slacks, and jeans for your ideal daily comfort.
Complex mending and repairs
For tricky or unique garments, Laura takes time to thoughtfully determine the best approach, giving beloved items a second life.
Craftsmanship with a personal touch
Every piece of clothing tells a story, and complex garments often require creative problem-solving. Laura loves tackling intricate sewing challenges—sometimes even dreaming up the perfect bespoke technique overnight to make sure your garment fits you like a glove.
Fittings and convenient drop-offs
It is always best to contact Laura to arrange a personalised fitting appointment so she can dedicate focused time to you. However, if your garments are already pinned and ready to go, you are welcome to pop by whenever suits. If Laura is unavailable when you arrive, you can simply deposit your pieces in the secure drop box.
Flexible turnarounds to suit your timeline
Whether you need an everyday pair of pants altered quickly or have a wedding dress that has arrived with very little time to spare before the big event, Laura will work closely with your schedule. Just let her know your deadline, and she will do her best to accommodate your urgent needs.
Other services
Complete your wedding look with our range of thoughtful bridal accessories and services.
I create beautiful handmade veils and garters, and offer hoop hire for brides who would like a little extra fullness in their skirt. Discover distinctive jewellery from Tasmania, along with ribbons to decorate your wedding cars.
After your special day, we can professionally clean and box your wedding dress, carefully wrapping it in acid-free paper to help preserve it for years to come.
