Services w/ price ranges…

The alterations I offer consist of 5 main groups:

  1. Taking in & letting out on all women’s & men’s clothing

  2. Hemming shirts, pants, skirts, & dresses

  3. Shortening & readjusting sleeves on shirts, blouses, dresses, & jackets

  4. Repair, replacement, & mending for zippers, buttons, & holes in fabric

  5. Redesigning all women’s & men’s clothing

Please keep in mind that in addition to altering clothes, I am responsible for the transportation between fittings & bringing the clothes back to you once they’re complete; therefore, you’ll find my prices are higher than the industry’s average which is only the cost of the alteration. Nevertheless, my goal is to always price my services as fair as possible for both myself & you.

  1. Take in & Let out

The processes for these alterations look different when comparing jeans vs. dress pants & stretchy/knit tops vs. tops with closures (zippers/buttons). Each one has its own complexities, therefore determining its pricing.

2. Hemming

Hemming is the process of hiding the fabric’s raw edge at the bottom of a shirt, pant leg, skirt, or dress after adjusting it to a desired length. This is probably the simplest alteration there is, but that does not mean it’s always easy!

Pant legs take approx. 10-20 minutes because of the smaller circumference. On the other hand, hemming dresses can take anywhere between 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on how much fabric there is and how many layers there are.
