Alterations & Pricing
Transparent starting prices to help you plan. Final cost depends on fabric, complexity, and number of layers. Pam will always confirm pricing before any work begins.
Please note: All prices listed are starting prices. Delicate fabrics (lace, chiffon, silk, beaded), multiple layers, and complex construction all affect final cost. Custom fabrication is quoted individually. Rush fees may apply for turnarounds under 10 days.
