While our outfits may have transformed from full skirts to ripped jeans, the modern lady is just as in need of good tailoring as in bygone years. The experienced crew at Doree are wizards at sprucing up your outfits – they can mend any damaged clothing, as well as renew older and forgotten items that haven’t seen the light of day for years. Cuff pants, sharpen jackets and shorten dresses, or add an ivy-league edge with a monogram or embroidery. The business also offers intricate bridal alterations and dry cleaning, leaving no excuse ever to be looking shabby.

Doree sits in the historic Tattersall’s Arcade, off busy Queen Street in Brisbane CBD. Like a group of needle-wielding magicians, the family-owned company has been working since 1934 to sew, snip, alter and mend garments to perfection in their workroom.
