Alterations Pricelist, Toronto Dressmaker

Looking for a dressmaker in Toronto to do alterations of your bridesmaid dress, suit, or everyday clothes? Check out my price list. I accept complex alterations that most dressmakers in Toronto won’t take, and deliver them on time. I accommodate busy schedules of my clients and schedule appointments in the evenings and weekends for you. I work BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. Note that price list contains starting prices. For example, “from $10-24” means that starting price is between 10 and 24 dollars and can go up depending on complexity ( time and effort)

Fashion Consultation

Women in Toronto  like wearing casual, comfortable clothes. When a special occasion comes, they feel  uncertain what style will flatter their figure, what dress can express their personality, and whether that dress is alterations-friendly.

If you find yourself in this situation, my Fashion Consultation is a perfect service for you, especially BEFORE you bought that dress.

I consult in person, on Skype, by Whatsup ( by appointment) and by email.

It costs only $30/hour in person, which  will return to you tenfold in saved time, money, and frustrations that you would avoid  by having me help you.

*These are prices for basic garments.
Additional details such as pleats, pockets, fancy frills, non-standard cut or size, etc. add to this price.
Garments made of silk, satin or chiffon, for example, add 20% on top of the price because they take extra time, skill, and work to deal with.
Alterations of the designer clothes can DOUBLE or TRIPLE the price because of the way most designer clothes are made that complicates alterations.
I will be able to give you a precise estimate once you show me your chosen fabric and design… and yourself! I am a very experienced cutter.  I pride myself for being able to create or adjust patterns for clients with non-standard figures. However, this takes extra time that I include in my quote.
I will do up to 2 half-hour fittings for free. If there is a need for more, the standard price of $30 an hour applies
