The national average cost for wedding dress alterations ranges from $150 to $700. Certain bridal shops may implement fitting fees along with a flat alteration charge of $500 to $1,000, even if the dress requires only minimal alterations, not accounting for any customizations. (see source) based on the Knot

The following is Sewccessful's estimated price list. We do not charge fitting fees; ironing and steaming are optional services. We avoid unreasonable markups for wedding dresses, ensuring our prices are consistent across all formal garments.

It is client's responsibility to request an estimate for any alterations desire. The cost of these alterations depends on the complexity and time needed for each specific modification, rather than the original price of the item. Consequently, please ensure to request an estimate before leaving your garments at the shop. 

Below, I have included the price list for casual garments and custom projects.

The total cost may vary based on the item's requirements and the complexity of its construction and design. For other sewing services not listed below the rate is $29 per hour for labor, with an additional charge for materials used in custom sewing and alterations not specified above.

Obtaining your body measurements and fitting assistance for selecting online-purchased garments is complimentary for returning customers and $29 fee applies for new customers, which will be credited towards any future alterations.
