Full job description

Job Summary
This is a hands-on, client-facing tailoring role working alongside our Chief Tailor. You will take direction from him on complex jobs, support the daily workflow of the studio, and bring your own skill and care to every garment — from a simple hem to a formal suit or gown alteration. In-store fittings are a fundamental part of the job: you will measure clients, conduct fitting appointments, explain options clearly, and maintain digital records of all work.

Duties

Tailoring & Alterations

Work alongside the Chief Tailor, following his direction
Perform high-quality alterations using both hand-sewing and industrial sewing machines
Carry out hemming (standard and invisible), taking in and letting out, sleeve and shoulder alterations, waist shaping, tapering, and relining
Complete complex garment work including suit jacket sleeve shortening (with functioning buttons) and party gown or formal dress hemming
Carry out everyday repairs: zip replacements, darning, button replacements and reinforcement, fabric repairs
Handle delicate, embellished, and structured fabrics with expert care
Adapt garment designs while preserving original structure, proportions, and design intent

Client Fittings & Measurement

Conduct in-store fittings with clients, marking required alterations and explaining all fit options clearly
Take and record accurate client measurements using a tape measure
Liaise directly with clients to interpret their styling needs, body proportions, and alteration requirements
Manage client appointments with professionalism, discretion, and warmth

Quality & Digital Records

Maintain accurate digital records of all alterations, measurements, and completed work
Inspect garments before and after alteration to ensure flawless execution
Manage daily workflow and turnaround times in line with studio requirements
Keep the tailoring workspace clean, organised, and properly equipped

Experience

Minimum 3 years of hands-on experience as a tailor, seamstress, or alterations specialist — you don't need to be a lead; you need to be skilled, reliable, and keen to learn
Confident conducting client fittings and taking measurements in a professional, client-facing environment
Strong expertise across a wide range of fabrics, garment types, and construction techniques
Fluent in English — clear communication with clients and the team is essential
Reliable, detail-oriented, and takes genuine pride in the quality of their work
Comfortable working in a small studio team and managing your own daily workflow
Based in or near Eltham, Bromley, or Dartford — within roughly 40 minutes commute

What we offer

£13–£15 per hour, depending on experience
20 to 40 hours per week, Monday to Friday (we are flexible on exact schedule and can work around different days or hours)
Equity stake in Tailorise — every team member receives a formal EMI share option, a real ownership stake that grows with the business
Work closely with an experienced Chief Tailor — a genuine opportunity to develop your craft alongside a senior professional
A calm, family-based studio environment — no big-shop pressure
Canteen space on-site
Real opportunity to grow with a brand expanding across south east London
A place where your craftsmanship is genuinely valued and recognised

On equity: As Tailorise grows across south east London, so does everyone who helped build it. We offer a formal EMI share option scheme — unusual in our industry, and intentionally so. Your stake vests over time, creating real long-term value alongside your craft.
