ABOUT US

We are a local clothing alterations shop in St Johns, Auckland. We offer clothing alteration, tailoring and mending services for pants, dresses, jackets, wedding dresses, and more.

We work from home and are quite busy, so we are currently on an appointment-only basis.

Mimisa is run by one seamstress with over 10 years of experience.

Our alterations are high quality; sometimes, you can’t tell where the altering had been done! We aim to make the alterations we do as seamless and invisible as we can possibly get it, but at the same time, ensure that the work we do is high quality and will last.
