Why does the same alteration cost different amounts in different shops?
Because every workshop charges for its time, machinery and guarantee differently, and because some quote by eye and others with the garment in hand. Here a hem is pinned on you, sewn on an industrial machine and guaranteed for 3 months.
The final price depends on three things: the fabric, how the garment is built and the finish you ask for. The urgent surcharge (from €4) only applies if you need the garment in 24–48 h.
