Melbourne tailors range from alteration studios to full bespoke ateliers, and published prices in the local market start around $206 and run to $1,999 for made-to-measure and custom garments, with $699, $1,299 and $1,399 common tier points. The 15 businesses below hold Google ratings between 4.0 and 5.0, and most trade in the CBD, with others in South Yarra and Richmond.
Prices vary by fabric, construction and the number of fittings, so a written quote after a consultation is the most reliable way to compare. Opening hours also differ widely: some studios trade seven days, others close on Mondays, Tuesdays or weekends, which matters if fittings have to fit around work.
Key takeaways
- Published Melbourne tailoring prices in our research run from about $206 to $1,999, with tiers at $699, $1,299 and $1,399. Most studios on this list quote on request, so confirm the total before you commit.
- The Bespoke Corner Tailors is the top pick for bespoke work: a 5.0 rating from 289 Google reviews and trading hours until 7pm on Wednesday to Friday.
- New Style Clothing Alterations suits alterations (236 reviews, 5.0), and InStitchu suits late-night or Sunday appointments with hours to 9pm on Thursday.
- Check which days each studio is closed before booking. Several top-rated tailors close on Mondays, Tuesdays or Sundays.
- Bespoke and made-to-measure garments usually need several fittings over a few weeks, so allow lead time before a wedding or event.
How we ranked the best tailors in Melbourne
We weighed six criteria: Google rating, volume of Google reviews, opening hours and access, location, clarity of services offered, and how much pricing or process information is publicly available. A high rating from a larger review base ranked above the same rating from a smaller one. Businesses were left off the list if they were listed as closed on Google, had no verifiable address, had no website or phone, had fewer than 5 Google reviews, or were rated below 4.0.

1. The Bespoke Corner Tailors: best for bespoke suits in South Yarra
The Bespoke Corner Tailors operates from 36 Toorak Rd, South Yarra, and holds a 5.0 rating from 289 Google reviews, the largest review base among the perfect-rated studios on this list. The Toorak Road location is reachable by tram, which suits clients travelling from the CBD or the inner east.
Trading hours are some of the longest in the group for a bespoke studio: 9am to 7pm on Wednesday to Friday and 8am to 6pm on Saturday. It is closed on Mondays and Sundays, so clients who can only attend on those days should look at other options. Bespoke work typically needs several fittings and a longer lead time than ready-to-wear, and the Google listing carries no business description, so confirm the service range directly.
Pros
- 5.0 rating from 289 Google reviews
- Open until 7pm Wednesday to Friday, plus Saturday from 8am
- Central South Yarra location on a tram route
Cons
- Closed Mondays and Sundays

How to choose the right tailor in Melbourne
Decide first whether you need alterations, made-to-measure or full bespoke. Alteration studios such as New Style Clothing Alterations and Lonsdale Clothing Alterations suit adjustments to existing garments, while bespoke studios build from scratch over several fittings.
Ask for a written quote that states the fabric, the number of fittings and the expected delivery date. Published tiers in the market include $699, $1,299 and $1,999, but the final price depends on cloth and construction.
Check opening hours against your own schedule. Closure days differ: The Bespoke Corner Tailors closes Monday and Sunday, Trunk Tailors closes Tuesday and Sunday, and The Suit Concierge closes Monday.
Ask whether fittings can be booked as one appointment or need separate visits, and what the studio does if the finished garment needs adjustment. Allow extra time before weddings and events, as bespoke work typically takes several weeks.
Read recent Google reviews for patterns in fit, communication and delivery against promised dates, rather than relying on the headline rating alone.
How much does a tailor cost in Melbourne?
Published prices in our research range from about $206 for simpler services to $1,999 for higher-tier custom garments, with $699, $1,299 and $1,399 as common tier points. Most studios on this list quote on request, so ask for an itemised written quote.
How long does a custom suit take in Melbourne?
Bespoke and made-to-measure suits typically need several fittings and a lead time of several weeks. Alterations on existing garments are usually quicker, but turnaround times are not published for most studios here, so confirm when you drop the garment off.
Which Melbourne tailors are open on Sundays?
Samuel Diamond Tailors (10am to 5pm), SunnyRock Suits (2pm to 6pm), Oscar Hunt (9am to 5:30pm), P. Johnson Mens (10am to 4:30pm), InStitchu (10am to 6pm) and The Suit Concierge (10am to 3pm) trade on Sundays. Check hours before visiting, as they can change.
Which Melbourne tailors are open late on weekdays?
InStitchu trades until 9pm on Thursday and 8pm on Wednesday and Friday. SunnyRock Suits is open until 8pm Monday to Saturday, and The Bespoke Corner Tailors and The Suit Concierge trade until 7pm on selected days.
Do I need an appointment with a Melbourne tailor?
Bespoke and made-to-measure work usually requires booking ahead, particularly for consultations and fittings. Alteration drop-offs may accept walk-ins, but confirm with the studio first, as several operate from upper-level suites.
The Bespoke Corner Tailors is the strongest all-round choice for bespoke work, with a 5.0 rating from 289 Google reviews and late weekday hours. New Style Clothing Alterations suits CBD alterations, Samuel Diamond Tailors and Oscar Hunt suit Sunday appointments, InStitchu covers the latest evening hours, and The Suit Concierge is the pick for suits in the inner east. Confirm pricing and lead times in writing with any studio before you commit.
