When one of my daughters gave my wife a dress not too long ago, it turned out to be about three or four inches longer than necessary, given her height. So she asked me to look for a plce that would alter the light dress.
I was surprised to find out that not one of the dress and tailoring shops wanted to touch the dress because they were afraid that they might damage it.
That's when I ended up at Alter Station in SM Bicutan. I brought the dress with me and they took one look at it and said yes, they could alter it. Or hem is what they called it. I found their asking price of P300 somewhat high, but told them to go ahead and fix it anyway.
