LookSmart Alterations

Welcome to LookSmart Alterations, a cherished cornerstone of Auckland's vibrant fashion scene since 1949. Nestled in the heart of this dynamic city, we are more than just a clothing alterations and repairs workshop – we are your trusted partner in restyling and rejuvenating your favourite garments. Our story began over seven decades ago, when a passionate tailor named George saw an opportunity to fill a niche in Auckland's thriving fashion scene. With his skilled hands and unwavering commitment to quality, he transformed countless pieces, breathing new life into each one. Today, under the guidance of his granddaughter, Christine, our team continues to honour this legacy, carrying forward the same values of craftsmanship, dedication, and exceptional service that have defined us since day one. At LookSmart Alterations, we don't just make adjustments; we mend relationships with your cherished clothing items, restoring them to their former glory. Our expertise spans across a wide range of alterations, from shortening hems and taking in waistlines, to intricate repairs that breathe new life into a favourite piece. Whether you're seeking the perfect fit or rescuing a much-loved garment from the brink of retirement, our team is here to help. We believe that every item of clothing tells a story, and it's our privilege to be part of yours. Whether you've inherited a beloved dress from your grandmother, scored an amazing bargain at a vintage store, or simply want to ensure that your favourite outfit fits perfectly, we are here to help you write the next chapter in your garment's story.
