Additionally, seamstresses are able to make more complicated alterations like adding tucks or shaping a dress. For delicate fabrics like silk, or clothing with a liner such as a blazer or slacks, it will take more time and expertise. Also, seamstresses can alter wedding dresses and other formal wear. These types of alterations require more skill and time than basic tasks like hemming. Make sure you find a skilled seamstress to help you with your unique items.
