Title: Tailoring/Alterations
Post by: ac on August 24, 2009, 01:35:55 PM
Hey all,

I've recently lost a bit of weight and am now swimming in my dress shirts. I have a wedding to attend on the west coast in 2 weeks. I'm trying to weigh the cost of buying a new one vs. altering the ones I have as the trip is already costing us.

Can anyone tell me how much it should cost (ballpark) to have a dress shirt taken in?  Any recommendations?  I'm in East Arlington near the Ft. Caroline Monument and my office is near Mandarin, but I may be able to swing a trip elsewhere if necessary. 

Thanks in advance!
