How long does it take to get tailor measurements?
Most alterations appointments take between 5 and 10 minutes. By “most” we mean “simple” alterations like pant hems and other simple changes. Other alterations, like tailoring a suit or dress, or more complex changes, require about 10 to 20 minutes in order to obtain the best fit possible.
How many measurements does a tailor take?
Most tailors will always request two fittings (at least), to measure against any changes as the work progresses, too. There are always undefined things to take into account such as how it feels, movement room and how the material and linings move together that all go into the final details.
Are suit measurements free?
That means you can go into any “brick and mortar” tuxedo shop or Men’s Warehouse in your area and ask for complimentary measurements, and they will take them for you, free of charge. … Keep in mind tuxedo shops use different measurements than those used by a “tailor”.
Do you pay a tailor before or after?
If you are unsure about the seamstress, then take the dress elsewhere, or pay up front. The store I’m having my alterations done requires payment on the 2nd fitting and I feel comfortable with that. I had to pay in full for mine as well before they were done.
