Are these the final prices?
They are starting prices and ranges. Beata confirms the exact price at your consultation, after she sees the garment on you and before any work begins.
Why do some alterations show a range?
The price depends on the fabric, the lining and how the garment is built. A lined or topstitched hem takes more work than a plain one.
Why do beaded or lace garments cost more?
Beads and lace have to be removed and set back by hand. On wedding gowns this adds about 30-50% per procedure; on other garments it is charged per hour.
Is there a deposit?
Yes, a 20% deposit at the end of your consultation reserves your alterations.
Do you offer rush alterations?
Yes, rush service is available. Call (773) 507-9747 to check what is possible for your date.
