I had a floor length full circle skirted dress taken up once and just that cost almost as much as the dress. Proper alterations so a dress (or any other sort of clothing) fits properly are well worth it.

Wow, my dress alteration costs more than my dress.
I better look like a million bucks when I wear it. đ

So true. And some fabrics are tricky. Using my sewing machine wouldnât have cut it.

Easier to take it up at the waist than at the hem.

Except this dress did not have a waist seam. There were lace overlays and an asymetrical seam around the skirt involved, so in this instance even though it was a very long hem it was still the only real option. đ

Dress? Was this a wedding dress?

I get op shop suits for about $50 then tailor them for another $250.

I get it. A well-fitted suit looks so good. You can totally tell the difference.
