We adjust prices depending on the type of fabric used, as different fabrics vary greatly in cost and difficulty to sew. Whether we source the fabric or the customer supplies it also influences pricing.
Additionally, the complexity of the work is taken into account to ensure fair and accurate pricing for each project. If you have a question about an alteration price, feel free to make an appointment through the link and we can discuss options and pricing at your appointment.
