Kimbo Custom Tailor

Kimbo is a small family operation run by Quinn (also called Kim) and her mother Pho, tucked into the old town without much of a shopfront to shout about. That understated appearance is a feature, not a bug – it keeps the pushy sales energy firmly out the door, which puts it ahead of most of its neighbours before you’ve even sat down.

They handle the full range: custom clothes made from a photo or sketch, alterations on pieces you already own, embroidery, and lining insertions on delicate garments. The turnaround is fast and the prices are genuinely low (a dress taken in overnight for roughly $3 AUD is not a typo).

If you walk in with a Pinterest photo and your measurements, Quinn will make it work. The shop has actual tailors doing the construction, so this isn’t just two people with a sewing machine – it’s a proper small workshop with a family running the front end.
