Typical Alterations Price List
From time to time, you may need to have your clothes altered, whether you buy something that does not quite fit or if you lose or gain some extra weight. For those that cannot sew themselves, you will need to take your clothing to an alteration shop. Most of the alteration shops are pretty competitive in price.
