What affects the price
- type of garment: trousers and minor alterations are cheaper than alterations to a blazer, jacket or coat
- whether the garment has a lining: alterations to lined garments are more expensive
- scope of the alteration: shortening alone is cheaper than taking it in where the waistband also needs altering
- city and specific tailoring workshop
Usually charged separately
- the cost of materials (e.g. a zip, lining), if listed separately in the price list
The service name is general, so the most commonly priced alteration, shortening or taking in trousers, was adopted as the unit; prices for altering blazers, jackets and coats are clearly higher and are described in the variants.
Prices from customers and companies
Two types of entries: customers state how much they paid for the entire job and rate the contractor; service providers enter their price lists. Customer entries have three reliability levels: ✓ verified: invoice or receipt (the editorial team has seen a document matching the entry), ✓ verified: declaration (the author confirmed the entry using a link sent by e-mail) and unverified (how we verify entries); we do not verify company price lists. Price lists entered by companies are not included in the median at the top of the page; customer amounts are included only for services priced as a complete service.
