Alteration and repair specialists

Located conveniently at the Richmond Mall, with parking right outside the door, Seamless Alterations and Repairs is the only specialised clothing alterations and repairs store in Richmond. Owned by Diane Lamont, providing high standards of workmanship and customer service are the team’s top priority.

Purchasing the business in 2020, Diane has invested heavily in specialised, high-quality industrial machinery, upskilling staff, rebranding, and building strong relationships with customers and local businesses.

Diane and her skilled team provide a wide range of alteration and repair services that cater to people’s unique needs from sewing buttonholes, replacing zippers, hemming and resizing to more complex alterations and repurposing clothing, even altering curtains, and repairing pet garments. They keep up to date with the latest sewing tech- niques and industry trends, ensuring that every item is handled with care, skill and expertise.

“With our range of industrial machines, we can work with a wide range of fabrics from stretch and knit fabrics to heavier fabrics including leather.”

“We feel strongly about sustainability and have made it an important part of our ethos. We actively promote altering, repairing, and upcycling of garments as an alternative to unnecessary discarding and replacing of clothing. By extending the lifespan of garments through repairs and alterations, we help our planet by contributing to the reduction of textile waste.”

Their focus on clothing sustainability means they encourage customers to bring in ill-fitting clothes for alteration.

“We’ve all purchased an item of clothing only to get it home and find it doesn’t fit as well as it did in the store. Our team brainstorm together to find ways clothing can be altered to make it something our customers loves to wear.”

“With Ball season upon us, we can help with resizing, shortening, and altering of ball dresses, suit jackets and pants. Last minute alterations are available. We also offer a steaming and ironing service.”

With their attention to detail and high-quality workmanship along with the diverse range of alteration and repair services available, the team excel in providing a welcoming and professional experience for all their customers. Seamless Alterations and Repairs offer a standard seven-day turnaround service as well as a rush service for those last minute and urgent alterations.
