  • Pricing for alterations includes the cost of the INITIAL FITTING, as well as a FINAL FITTING.

  • Additional fitting fees start at $25 per.

  • Standard alterations  should not require more than one fitting.​

  • A non-refundable deposit of 50% (of the total amount of the job proposal) is due before work will be commenced. The balance is due upon receipt of completed project and a ready to wear garment.
