Rules and what to check

Tailors and alteration businesses may need a seller's permit, and tax can apply to some services and goods. In California, for example, the state tax agency explains how tax applies to alteration work and asks businesses to register first. Ask whether the quote includes tax, and whether the price covers both the labor and the materials such as thread and zippers.

Season and climate

Winter, from December to February, brings heavy coats and holiday outfits that need hems and sleeve work, so book those early. Summer, from June to August, is the busy season for dresses and suits for weddings and parties. Book a fitting a few weeks before the event, and allow time for a second fitting if the first one is not right.

How the work is bought here

Alterations are priced per item, not per hour, and most shops in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston and Phoenix quote a fixed price for each garment. Measurements are usually taken in inches, so give your waist, inseam or hem length in inches. Ask whether the price includes a pick-up and delivery if you cannot visit the shop.

What to write in your request

Name the item, the fabric, the work needed (hem, take in, let out, zip or patch) and the quantity. Give the size or measurements, the deadline and your city. Add a photo of the garment and the budget you have in mind.

On BlaBlaPrice you describe the garment in your own words in a chat, and you can add a photo. The assistant asks for missing details, looks through tailors' websites and price lists in the United States, and shows the prices and shops it found. Registered tailors reply in the chat with their own price, timing and delivery options, and your contact details stay hidden until you choose to share them. For similar services see dry cleaning and laundry or shoe and bag repair.
