Nearly bankrupted me - charged $200 to take up a double lined skirt hem, and also suggested that I take in the top - which I thought was fine - for $100, but it wasn't improved at all. I ended up spending 6 times more than the clothes were actually worth. She did a good job with another dress and is no doubt a skilled seamstress, but next time I'd ask for a quote *before* spending a lot of time discussing alterations in depth so I don't feel railroaded into it, and I'd leave enough time to go to another seamstress - or buy a brand new dress for half the money! - if the price is too high.
