[QUOTE=redrhodie;522620]A couple of years ago, I had a top taken in to the tune of $50. That was more than it cost! I was shocked. I've also had pants hemmed for $17 (just the length, no lining, nothing complicated, no waist). I think that's standard for this area, but too much for me. QUOTE]

I hear ya! I took two - read that TWO - pairs of slacks in to have the waists taken in and hemmed up the length and it cost me $70!!! I'm cheap, and almost always buy clothes on sale, so this was way more than I paid for the pants; more than I would have paid for them off the rack if they fit. But I was at a loss on what to do!
