How is an alteration specialist different from a seamstress or tailor at my local dry-cleaners?
An alteration specialist is able to work on nearly every type of garment, doing nearly every type of alteration, including extensive re-working and restyling of garments. On the other hand, an average seamstress can only do basic alterations such as hemming pants. Alteration specialists are the best choice for doing alterations on wedding gowns, evening wear, designer dresses and suits, and delicate garments with beading and fine detail.
