How we score

The scorecards use public Google data on the date shown. Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated each shop. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.9 from hundreds of people carries more than a 4.9 from a few dozen. Recency reflects how recently reviews still arrive.

What alterations cost in San Antonio

We didn’t find a trustworthy local price list, so no figures are shown. Alteration prices depend on the garment, how complex the change is (a hem versus a bustle or a sleeve rebuild), how much fabric or lining is involved, and how fast you need it. Ask for a written quote per item and confirm how payment is accepted.

Where to find them

The shops sit across the city: Starcrest Dr, Denver Blvd, Broadway in Alamo Heights, Fredericksburg Rd and Wurzbach Rd. Looking for a tailor near me? Each listing shows a phone number and map link so you can check hours and the closest option.

What to ask your tailor

  • Can you give me the price in writing before you start?
  • When will it be ready, and can I try it on before I pay?
  • Do you do rush work, and does that cost extra?
  • How do you take payment: card, cash or check?
  • Have you altered this type of garment before, such as a gown or lined jacket?
