Alterations are not cheap, and as a petite person who always needs petite denim jeans hemmed, I wish that the K-12 system had not denied me the chance to learn sewing so I could DIY, or that I was actually in conformity with the Western conception of a 5 foot 4 inch petite female, but why dwell on what you can't change now ...
I have had two pairs of pants altered here before, the main lady who works there did a nice job and they were on time. I believe I did price comparisons and at the time, which was two years ago, it was the most competitively priced.
