The cost of a custom garment covers the professional’s time plus the cost of all materials; don’t expect it to be inexpensive, especially if designing the garment is part of the job.
For alterations, we charge by the job or project and prices are often standard, running from £8 on average for hemming pants up to £25-£75 on average to alter a wedding gown or other special-occasion garment.
If a garment requires a special fabric or sewing method, the cost may be higher. Likewise, if a garment must be enlarged, it will likely cost more for the extra material and the more time-consuming tailoring techniques.
