Oh lord I ask thee to smite Queensland with a Blues 3-zip state of origin blue rinse series victory and while your listening deliver the Football World Cup to France. Amen.

You need to be a bit more precise about what you’re after.

Hello. Thanks for that reply. Basically alterations, such as the following :
- pants : hemming legs, taking in waist, taking in legs for a slimmer profile
- tailored blazers : taking in shoulders, sleeves, waist, also shortening sleeves on occasion
- buttoned shirts - creating darts in the back for a slimmer fit, taking in sleeves

That's about it.

Thank you.

No recommendations on an inner west tailor - but when getting shirts altered, make sure you are clear on whether you want to retain the original flat-fell seam or if a single/simple stitch is sufficient. Some places will quote what looks like a very good price, but then use a simple stitch. A flat-fell seam will cost more.

Nothing wrong with a simple stitch if you are happy with it, but it's always good to make an informed decision.
