Below is a guide to the alterations we are most often asked about. All prices are “from” prices — your exact price is confirmed when you bring your item in, as it can vary with the fabric, the finish and how much work is involved. If you would like an estimate before you visit, send us a photo through our contact form and we will do our best to give you a guide price.

Good to know
Eveningwear, prom and occasion dresses are priced individually after a fitting. Beading, layering and delicate fabrics all affect the work involved, so we quote these in person rather than from a list.
Wedding and bridal gown alterations have their own pricing — please see our Bridal Gown Alterations page.
Turnaround depends on how busy we are, and we will always agree a collection date with you when you drop your item off. Payment is due on collection.
