Same Day Alterations: What You Need to Know at Primo Tailoring

Do you have a clothing emergency and need alterations done the same day? We understand how stressful it can be to need a quick fix for your clothes. Whether you're attending an important event or a last-minute meeting, Primo Tailoring in Erie, PA, is here to help with same-day alterations. Here’s what you need to know when seeking emergency alteration services at our shop.

What Constitutes an Emergency Alteration?

What defines an emergency alteration? At Primo Tailoring, we consider any alteration that requires completion within 24 hours or less an emergency. This includes quick fixes like hemming pants or adjusting a jacket. If you're in a pinch and need your clothing altered in a rush, we’re here to assist!

Considerations and What to Expect

When requesting same-day alterations, there are a few factors that will influence how quickly we can complete your project:

1. Time of Day:
   The earlier you visit, the better. Our team at Primo Tailoring can accommodate same-day alterations more easily when we have a little more time to work on your garment. Arriving as early as possible will give us the best chance to complete your alterations.

2. Type of Garment:
   Simpler alterations, like hemming pants or taking in seams on a shirt, are quicker than complex adjustments to formal wear or tailored jackets. Be prepared to adjust expectations based on the complexity of your garment.

3. Amount of Work Required:
   A quick fix like shortening sleeves or adjusting a pant hem can be done quickly, but more intricate tasks, such as altering the fit of a suit jacket or dress, may take longer. The more work required, the longer the alteration will take, even on a rushed timeline.

4. Timeline:
   The time you have to spare also impacts our ability to accommodate your request. A same-day request with only a few hours to spare can be challenging, while a full 24 hours will give us more flexibility. Let us know the exact timing when you visit.

5. Time of Year:
   Our busiest times of year are during wedding season and fall when tailoring demands increase. Please keep in mind that during peak seasons, it may be more challenging to fit in same-day alterations, so we recommend calling ahead to confirm availability.

Pricing for Same Day Alterations

It’s important to keep in mind that expedited services like same-day alterations often come with an additional cost. You can expect rush fees for faster service, as well as possible price adjustments depending on the complexity of your alterations. We recommend calling us in advance to discuss pricing for express services.
