How long does an alteration or tailoring take?
How much will the alteration cost?
The cost of your repairs and/or alterations will largely depend on the garment’s overall condition, the alteration requests, and overall complexity of the job. The following factors affect the cost of alteration:
Type of Alterations
Quick alterations like basic hemming and shortening should cost less and has a faster turnaround than complete restyles, resizing, letting out, and lengthening.
Number of Alteration Jobs
Requests that will need several alteration tasks may take more time and work to achieve, like taking in a dress and shortening its sleeves or letting out a suit and lengthening it at the same time.
Condition and Age
Brand new pieces are often easier to work with and alter than heavily worn-out garments and dresses. Repairing older pieces may also need more attention and work than patching up newer clothes with easier-to-source fabrics.
Fabric Type
Premium fabrics that often need invisible repair often cost more as we’ll need to source the same material. Versatile materials are also easier to work with due to their versatility and workable properties than sensitive fabrics like chiffon, cashmere, velvet, and silk.
Extra Details
Adding a custom flair embroidery, artistic beadings, and tulle fabric can significantly up the style and overall fit of the piece as these details add curves and shapes that influence your overall look. You can request our team to add extra details that you want for an extra cost.
