Frequently Asked Questions

Can I set different prices for different garment types?

Yes, each garment type (pants, dresses, suits, etc.) has its own pricing structure. You can customize prices for every combination of garment and alteration type.

How do fabric type adjustments work?

The calculator applies percentage increases for delicate fabrics (silk, satin), heavy fabrics (denim, leather), and specialty materials (beaded, lace). You can adjust these percentages.

Can I add wedding dress alterations?

Absolutely. Wedding dress alterations are included with options for hemming, bustle addition, bodice adjustments, and full restructuring with specialty fabric pricing.

How do rush fees work?

You can set different turnaround times with percentage increases. Default options include standard (5-7 days), rush (3 days at +50%), and same-day (+100%).

Can I add my own alteration services?

Yes. Add custom services like adding pockets, converting styles, custom fitting, or specialized repairs. Each service can have its own pricing by garment type.
