As a little woman…
If you want to stay within your clothing spending budget today and in the future…
Or if you are tired of paying for costly alterations every year…
Or if you've been sticker shocked by the cost of alterations after getting your item back…
Then this shopping cheat sheet is for you!
While every seamstress has different pricing, this alteration cost cheat sheet has the average price range for every basic alteration you can think of on tops, pants, jackets, dresses, & skirts. Basic alterations such as hemming, taking in the clothing item so it’s not so big, adjusting the shoulders, shortening the sleeves, etc.
Looking at the cheat sheet, you are quickly going to see how a simple $20 top from H&M can turn into $55, or a $70 jacket from Nordstrom can turn into $120 in the blink of an eye!
In these cases, it’s better for you and your wallet to buy a clothing item that will actually fit by requiring no alterations 😊
