Pricing & Policy
Each garment is unique, so pricing is based on the time, skill, and complexity required for the alteration, not the price of the garment itself. Some garments require only simple adjustments, while others may involve multiple layers, delicate fabrics, or structural changes. Because of this, final pricing is determined after evaluating the garment during your fitting or consultation. We are happy to provide an estimate once we see the garment and discuss the desired alterations.
