How Much Do Clothing Alterations Cost?

Sat, 19 Sep 2026 13:30:00 GMT

At Readywear Cleaners, this is one of the first questions people ask before scheduling a fitting: what's this actually going to cost? Clothing alterations typically range from about $20 for simple work like hemming or minor repairs to $150 or more for complex alterations, while formalwear and wedding gowns can run several hundred dollars or more. The exact cost depends on the garment and the work involved - a basic pants hem is usually fairly straightforward, while altering a lined jacket or a multilayer dress can involve considerably more labor. Fabric, construction, lining, beadwork, and the complexity of the adjustment all play a role in what a tailor charges.

Average Clothing Alteration Cost Ranges

For many everyday garments, common alterations fall somewhere between roughly $20 and $150 or more, depending on the work involved. A basic pants hem or small repair is usually toward the lower end, while adjusting a lined jacket, reshaping a dress, or changing several areas of the same garment can cost more. Formalwear and wedding gowns tend to run higher, since the work involved is often more detailed.

These are general market ranges for alterations & tailoring ; the garment itself has to be considered alongside the requested change — construction, fabric, lining, layers, and decorative details can all affect how much work is actually involved.

Alteration Cost by Garment Type

The type of garment and the work being done can change the price considerably. The estimates below can help set expectations before a fitting.

Note: Actual prices vary based on the garment, requested alteration, fabric, construction, lining, layers, decorative details, and other factors. An in-person fitting is needed for an accurate estimate.

A simple hem tends to fall near the lower end, while a garment with lining, several layers, or more involved adjustments tends to fall toward the higher end.

What Affects the Price of Alterations

Two garments that need a similar adjustment can involve very different amounts of work. A tailor has to consider how the garment is made, and what needs to be taken apart, adjusted, and finished again.

Construction and lining: Structured or lined garments often involve more steps to alter properly.
Fabric and details: Silk, lace, leather, beadwork, sequins, and other delicate details may need more careful handling.
Layers: A multilayer dress takes more work to hem than a single-layer garment.
Complexity and location: A basic hem is typically simpler than reshaping a garment or adjusting jacket sleeves at the shoulder.
Turnaround: Short deadlines may affect pricing, depending on the work requested.

That's also why two alterations that sound similar can be priced differently once a tailor actually sees how each garment is constructed.

How to Get an Accurate Tailoring Estimate

The best way to get an accurate price is to have the garment evaluated in person. Bring it along with the shoes and undergarments you plan to wear with it, especially for pants, dresses, and formalwear. During the fitting, we can see how the garment fits, examine its construction, talk through the changes you want, and confirm any upcoming event or deadline.

We offer on-site tailoring by appointment at both locations. Schedule an alteration to have your garment evaluated and get an accurate estimate. For more on caring for your clothes between visits, see how often to dry clean your clothes , or call 630-443-7700 to speak with our team.

How Do Dry Cleaners Work?

Fri, 18 Sep 2026 13:00:46 GMT

At Readywear Cleaners, we get this question a lot: what actually happens to your clothes once they leave the counter? Dry cleaners use a specialized cleaning solvent instead of water, but the process involves far more than tossing garments into a machine. Each item is inspected, treated for problem areas, cleaned, dried, pressed, and inspected again before it comes back to you. Here's what actually happens, step by step.

How Dry Cleaning Works Without Water

The biggest difference between dry cleaning and home washing is what's used to clean your clothes. Instead of water and detergent, dry cleaning uses a specialized liquid solvent to lift away dirt, body oils, and stains. This can be a better fit for wool, silk, tailored jackets, and other garments that may shrink, lose their shape, or change texture when exposed to water and agitation.

The cleaning solvent itself matters too. We use the GreenEarth® eco-friendly cleaning process , which uses a clear, odorless liquid silicone instead of PERC or petroleum-based solvents. Curious how GreenEarth's process specifically compares to older solvents? We've broken that down in a separate post .

Inspection, Tagging, and Stain Treatment

Before a garment goes through the cleaning cycle, it's inspected for stains, fabric type, care instructions, and details that may need special attention. Each item is also tagged so it can be tracked throughout the process.

If there's a visible stain, our team treats it individually before the main cleaning cycle — a step the industry calls spotting. Rather than relying on the general wash or solvent cycle alone, a specific stain-removal agent is matched to the type of stain, whether that's oil-based, protein-based, or something else, before the garment moves on. Spotting increases the chances of fully removing a stain without being too aggressive on the fabric around it.

Certain stains, like oil and grease, tend to respond particularly well to solvent-based cleaning, though results can depend on the stain's age, the fabric, and any previous treatment. Pointing out a stain and sharing what caused it can also help our team determine the right spotting treatment. We'll cover which specific stains respond best to which treatments in an upcoming post.

The Solvent Cleaning and Drying Cycle

Once stains have been treated, garments are sorted by factors like color, fabric, and any special care needs rather than combined into one load. They then move into the dry cleaning machine, where they're gently tumbled in the cleaning solvent. As the solvent moves through the fabric, it lifts away body oils, dirt, and other soils.

After cleaning, the solvent is extracted from the garments and the drying cycle begins. Warm air removes any remaining solvent, leaving the garments dry and ready for finishing. By the time they leave the machine, the cleaning solvent has been removed and recovered.

Not Every Item Goes Through the Solvent Cycle

Not everything that comes through our doors gets cleaned the same way. Items like cotton dress shirts are typically laundered — washed with water and detergent, much like a home washing machine — rather than run through the solvent cycle described above. The garment still goes through the same careful inspection, tagging, and stain treatment first, and the same professional pressing and finishing afterward; only the cleaning step itself is different.

We've covered when a cleaner launders instead of dry cleans in our post on dry cleaning vs. washing at home , and a closer look at why professional shirt laundering beats home ironing is coming soon.

Pressing, Finishing, and Final Inspection

Cleaning is only part of professional dry cleaning . Once garments are dry, they're professionally pressed and finished to smooth wrinkles and restore the shape and appearance of details like collars, cuffs, pleats, and seams. Each garment then receives a final inspection so any remaining spots or finishing concerns can be addressed before it's returned.

Once your clothes are back in your closet, the next question is often when they need to come in again. Knowing how often to dry clean your clothes can help prevent stains, odors, and body oils from building up between cleanings. For frequent customers looking to save time on errands, we also offer pickup and delivery for approved customers based on request.

Suit Tailoring Guide: Fit, Price, Timeline

Thu, 17 Sep 2026 15:03:12 GMT

At Ready wear Cleaners, suit alterations are some of the most common work we do, and also some of the most misunderstood when it comes to cost and timing. Suit alterations typically take a few days to two weeks for straightforward work, while more involved changes can take several weeks. If you're wondering how much a tailored suit costs, basic alterations may run about $30–$50, while more complex jacket work can run higher, especially once you're combining more than one change on the same garment.

How long it takes to tailor a suit depends on w hat needs to change. Hemming trousers is one thing; restructuring a jacket is another. Suit construction, extra fabric inside the seams, and the need for another fitting can all affect the timeline and price.

How Should A Suit Fit?

A well-fitting suit should follow your shape without pulling, sagging, or restricting normal movement. During a fitting, we look at the whole suit first, then narrow in on the areas that are throwing off the fit.

Shoulders: The jacket should sit cleanly across the shoulders without divots, overhang, or tightness. Getting this area right from the start matters, because major shoulder adjustments are more involved.

Collar and chest: The collar should rest against the shirt collar, while the buttoned jacket should lie smoothly without pulling.

Sleeves: Jacket sleeves typically end near the wrist bone, leaving a small amount of shirt cuff visible.

Pants: The waist should stay comfortably in place, the seat should lie smoothly, and excess fabric should not bunch heavily over the shoes.

Jacket length and overall proportions matter, too. The goal is a balanced fit that looks clean while leaving enough room to sit, walk, and move comfortably.

What Parts of a Suit Can Be Tailored?

There's quite a bit we can adjust on a suit. Common alterations and tailoring include shortening sleeves, shaping the jacket through the waist, hemming or tapering pants, and adjusting the trouser waist and seat. These changes can correct many of the fit issues we see in everyday suits and formalwear .

The suit's construction sets the limits. Letting out a seam only works when there's enough fabric inside, and shortening a jacket too much can throw off the pockets, buttons, and overall proportions. Even sleeve work can get more involved when a jacket has working buttonholes. Shoulders are another story — altering them can mean rebuilding part of the jacket.

That's why we inspect the garment before recommending the work. A change may be technically possible, but that doesn't always mean it's the right choice for that particular suit.

Common Suit Alterations for Jackets and Pants

For suit jackets, sleeve length and waist shaping are two of the adjustments we see most often. Shortening the sleeves cleans up excess fabric at the wrist, while taking in the sides can reduce a boxy fit. Depending on the jacket, we may also address collar fit or sleeve width. Each adjustment has to work with the jacket's lining, seams, buttons, and original proportions.

Pants bring a different set of fit concerns. Hemming sets the length and break over the shoe, while tapering removes excess fabric through the leg. Waist and seat adjustments can correct looseness, pulling, or an uneven drape.

We also look at the jacket and pants together. A jacket can fit beautifully, and the full suit can still look off if the trousers pool at the shoes or pull through the seat.

How Much Does Suit Tailoring Cost?

How much a tailored suit costs depends heavily on the work involved. A simple trouser hem and a jacket that needs to be opened, reshaped, and rebuilt are very different jobs.

Actual pricing varies by garment and tailor.

These figures are per alteration. A suit that needs several changes at once — say, jacket sleeves, jacket waist, and a trouser hem together — adds up across each line item, which is how a fuller overhaul can move past $100 even though no single adjustment does.

Even two sleeve alterations can be different jobs. Working buttonholes, linings, patterned fabrics, available seam allowance, and previous alterations can change the labor involved. That's why we inspect the suit before quoting the work.

How Long Do Suit Alterations Take?

Most suit alterations take anywhere from a few days to about two weeks. A trouser hem or straightforward sleeve adjustment may be finished within several days, while a suit needing multiple changes typically takes longer. Complex jacket work can extend the timeline to several weeks, especially if the garment needs to be opened and reconstructed.

Timing also depends on the shop's workload. Wedding season, prom season, and other busy periods can add to turnaround times, and some suits need a second fitting to fine-tune the finished fit.

If you need to know how long tailoring a suit will take for a wedding, interview, or another fixed date, bring that date to the first fitting. We recommend leaving time for a final try-on rather than picking up the suit right before the event.

What to Expect at Your Suit Fitting

A suit fitting is fairly straightforward, but what you wear and bring matters. Come in with the dress shirt and shoes you plan to pair with the suit so we can see where the sleeves and pants should fall.

Put on the full suit. We look at the overall balance first, then check the shoulders, collar, sleeves, waist, seat, and trouser length.
Move naturally. Stand normally, button the jacket, sit down, and walk around. A suit needs to look clean without feeling restrictive.
Review the adjustments. We'll mark the areas that need work and discuss what makes sense for the garment, along with timing and next steps.

One detail that sometimes surprises customers: we may check each side separately. Bodies aren't perfectly symmetrical, and a good fit accounts for those small differences.

Tailor First or Dry Clean First? How to Prepare Your Suit for Alterations

If a worn suit has stains, odors, or visible soil, dry cleaning before alterations gives the tailor a clean garment to work with. Otherwise, bring the suit in as-is. We can look at its condition and the alterations needed, then determine which should come first. Empty the pockets and bring the shirt and shoes you'll wear with the suit.

After alterations, professional care can help maintain the finished garment. Questions about how often to dry clean your clothes or choosing dry cleaning or washing at home depend on fabric, construction, wear, and the care label. We use GreenEarth® cleaning , an odorless silicone-based process that's gentle on fabrics.

Dry Cleaning vs. Washing at Home: Which Is Better?

Fri, 31 Jul 2026 13:00:37 GMT

One of the most common questions we hear at Readywear Cleaners is a simple one: does this need to go to the cleaners, or can it go straight in the wash? The honest answer: it depends on the garment, and it's not always a simple dry-clean-or-wash-at-home choice. Many everyday clothes can be safely washed at home, some items are better off professionally laundered, and others truly need dry cleaning to hold their shape, texture, and finish. Understanding the difference between these options can help protect your clothing and keep it looking its best.

How Dry Cleaning and Home Washing Actually Differ

The biggest difference between dry cleaning and washing at home is how your clothes are cleaned. If you've ever asked, “What is dry cleaning?” the answer is simple: it uses a specialized cleaning solvent instead of water. Home washing, on the other hand, uses water and detergent to remove sweat, everyday dirt, and odors. Both methods work well when they're used for the right types of clothing, but dry cleaning is often a better choice for garments that can lose their shape, texture, or finish when washed.

Each method also has different strengths. Home washing is ideal for most everyday garments, while professional dry cleaning is especially effective for delicate fabrics, tailored garments, many oil-based stains, and garments that benefit from professional pressing. Choosing the right cleaning method helps preserve your clothing's fit, appearance, and lifespan.

When Your Cleaner Launders Instead of Dry Cleans

Not every garment that comes to a dry cleaner actually goes through the dry cleaning process. Items like cotton dress shirts are typically laundered — washed with water and detergent, much like you'd do at home. The cleaning method itself isn't the difference. What sets professional laundering apart is the finishing: careful stain inspection and treatment before washing, precise pressing and ironing, and consistent folding or hanging that's difficult to match with a home iron and ironing board.

In other words, you could wash a cotton dress shirt at home, but professional laundering adds a level of finishing and consistency that home washing typically can't match — which is why it's worth considering even for garments that don't strictly require dry cleaning.

Which Fabrics Need Dry Cleaning to Survive

While fabric is important, it's not the only factor to consider. A garment's lining, structure, and decorative details also affect how it should be cleaned. Professional dry cleaning helps protect delicate fibers and preserve the fit and finish of garments that may not hold up well in a washing machine. Common examples include:

Wool and cashmere:

Can shrink or felt when exposed to water and agitation.

Silk and velvet:

Delicate fibers that may lose their texture, color, or finish when washed.

Tailored jackets, suits, and lined dresses:

Garments with pleats, beading, lace, or specialty trims:

Water can affect their shape and internal structure.

Decorative details are more likely to become damaged during home washing.

When an item is labeled “Dry Clean Only,” following the care instructions is usually the best way to help it look its best for years to come.

When Washing at Home Can Ruin Your Clothes

Even garments that look durable can be damaged by the wrong wash cycle, water temperature, or drying method. Water, heat, and agitation can permanently affect delicate fibers and the internal construction of a garment. Wool sweaters may shrink, silk can lose its smooth finish, and tailored jackets can lose the structure that gives them their shape. Decorative details like pleats, beading, lace, and specialty trims are also more likely to become damaged during home washing.

Before washing an unfamiliar garment, check the care label and consider more than just the fabric. If an item is lined, tailored, or labeled “Dry Clean Only,” professional care is often the safer choice to keep it looking and fitting the way it should.

Why the Solvent Your Cleaner Uses Matters

The cleaning solvent itself makes a real difference too. We use the GreenEarth® eco-friendly cleaning process , which is designed to be gentle on fabrics while delivering an odor-free clean, without relying on PERC or petroleum-based solvents. It helps protect colors, textures, and delicate details so your garments look their best. Want the full story on GreenEarth, including why some “organic” dry cleaning claims don't mean what they seem? We've broken it all down in a separate post.

Knowing when to wash at home, when to have something professionally laundered, and when it truly needs dry cleaning is just one part of protecting your wardrobe.

What Is GreenEarth Cleaning? The Silicone-Based Alternative to PERC

Tue, 28 Jul 2026 13:00:49 GMT

Readywear Cleaners gets this question a lot: what's actually in the solution used to clean your clothes? It's a fair question — the cleaning process happens behind the scenes, so most customers never know which solvent their cleaner uses or why it matters. And with more dry cleaners advertising themselves as “organic” or “green,” it's gotten harder for customers to know what those terms actually mean. Understanding the differences can help you feel more confident about how your garments are cared for.

PERC: The Decades-Old Standard

For most of the last 70 years, the dry cleaning industry relied on a solvent called PERC (perchloroethylene) to clean garments. It became the standard because it removed stains effectively without water. Over time, researchers and regulators found that long-term PERC exposure raises health and environmental concerns, and it's now being phased out nationwide. Under the EPA's final risk management rule , general dry cleaners must stop using PERC by December 2027, and Illinois state law sets a full ban by January 2030. Some cleaners still use it today, but that's changing quickly across the industry.

The Shift to Petroleum and "Organic" Cleaning Claims

As PERC has phased out, many dry cleaners have shifted to a different solvent: petroleum-based, or hydrocarbon, cleaning solutions. It's a real improvement over PERC in some ways — generally gentler on fabric and not linked to the same health concerns. But it's still a petroleum byproduct that is classified as a volatile organic compound (VOC) and hazardous air pollutant.

Here's where it gets confusing for customers: many cleaners using petroleum-based solvents market their process as “organic.” Technically, that's not false — in chemistry, “organic” simply means a compound contains carbon, and petroleum qualifies. But that's a very different meaning than what most customers assume “organic” means when they see it on a sign or a garment bag. It doesn't mean natural, chemical-free, or better for the environment. It just means it's carbon-based — and PERC itself is technically “organic” by that same definition.

The takeaway: If you see a cleaner advertising “organic dry cleaning,” it's worth asking what cleaning solvent they’re actually using. The term doesn’t always tell the full story about the cleaning process.

What Is GreenEarth Cleaning, Exactly?

GreenEarth® Cleaning is a professional dry cleaning process that replaces PERC and petroleum-based solvents with liquid silicone. Instead of a petroleum byproduct, the solution is a clear, odorless liquid derived from sand. It removes dirt, oils, and many common stains without water, while remaining gentle on delicate fabrics and garment details.

One of the biggest differences is the solution itself. GreenEarth is designed to clean without acting aggressively on delicate fibers, dyes, buttons, and decorative details — so garments can come back looking clean while helping preserve their color, texture, and overall appearance through repeated professional cleanings over time.

How Liquid Silicone Actually Cleans Clothes

Liquid silicone has a low surface tension, allowing it to move through fabric fibers and lift away dirt, body oils, and many common stains without using water. The cleaning process is straightforward:

The Environmental and Health Benefits of GreenEarth Cleaning

GreenEarth cleaning was developed to move away from both PERC and petroleum-based solvents. That shift offers a few clear advantages:

No PERC, no petroleum: GreenEarth doesn't use perchloroethylene or hydrocarbon solvents — the two solutions still most common in dry cleaning today.
Odor-free cleaning: Liquid silicone leaves garments without the solvent smell often associated with older cleaning methods.
Hypo-allergenic: GreenEarth's process is designed to be gentle for anyone with sensitive skin or allergies.
Non-toxic: Liquid silicone is gentle enough to come into direct contact with skin, and unlike petroleum-based solvents, it doesn't require special hazardous material handling or disposal.
Designed to break down cleanly: According to GreenEarth , the liquid silicone is designed to break down into silica, water, and carbon dioxide after disposal under appropriate conditions.
Not classified as a hazardous air pollutant: Unlike PERC and hydrocarbon solvents, GreenEarth's liquid silicone is not classified by the EPA as a hazardous air pollutant.
A more transparent choice: Customers can choose a process that clearly identifies its solvent, rather than relying on a label like “organic” that doesn't tell the full story.

These differences help explain why GreenEarth is a meaningfully different choice — not just a different marketing term for the same thing.

Why Readywear Cleaners Uses GreenEarth

Readywear Cleaners chose GreenEarth because it aligns with our commitment to quality garment care and environmentally responsible practices. Using a liquid silicone cleaning process helps protect delicate fabrics, tailored garments, and specialty items while delivering an odor-free clean. It's one more way we bring modern GreenEarth eco-friendly cleaning to families and professionals throughout the Fox Valley.

Making this switch took real investment. Readywear Cleaners upgraded our equipment and invested in our own GreenEarth production plant, which we now operate and control directly. That investment reflects how seriously we take garment care and environmental responsibility — it would have been easier and cheaper to stay with an older process, but we felt the switch was worth it for our customers and the community we serve.

Choosing a dry cleaner is about more than convenience. It's about knowing what's actually being used to clean your clothes. Explore our website at readywearcleaners.com to learn more about GreenEarth cleaning and our garment care services, or call 630-443-7700 to speak with our team.

Is GreenEarth Gentler on Your Garments?

GreenEarth is designed to clean clothing without acting aggressively on delicate fabrics. Because liquid silicone has a low surface tension, it moves through fibers to lift away dirt and oils while helping protect colors, textures, and the overall look of a garment. It's also well-suited for items with decorative details, including buttons, beads, sequins, and trims that can be more sensitive to harsher cleaning methods — which can matter for garments meant to be worn for years.

No cleaning process can prevent normal wear over time, but choosing a gentler cleaning method can help clothing maintain its appearance longer. Combined with proper stain treatment, professional pressing, and careful inspection, GreenEarth helps garments return looking fresh while respecting delicate fabrics and decorative details.

Garments are also sorted by general color, separating lighter fabrics from darker ones.

This combination of careful inspection, gentle cleaning, and professional finishing helps garments come back looking clean while preserving their color, texture, and overall appearance.

Each garment is professionally pressed and inspected before it's returned to the customer.

The garments are carefully dried to remove the cleaning solution before finishing.

How Often Should You Dry Clean Your Clothes?

Thu, 23 Jul 2026 20:08:24 GMT

At Readywear Cleaners, we're often asked how often clothes really need to be dry cleaned. There isn't one schedule that works for every garment. How often to dry clean depends on the type of clothing, how often it's worn, and its overall condition. While some items can go several wears between cleanings, others should be professionally cleaned much sooner to help prevent stains, odors, and fabric damage. A few simple guidelines can take the guesswork out of caring for the clothes you rely on most.

How Often Should Each Garment Be Cleaned?

There isn't a single cleaning schedule that works for every item in your closet. The recommendations below are a good starting point, but factors like perspiration, stains, weather, and how often a garment is worn can affect how frequently it should be cleaned. As a general rule, professional dry cleaning is recommended for:

These recommendations are a starting point. If a garment has visible stains, lingering odors, or heavy perspiration, it's usually best to have it cleaned sooner.

Dress shirts and blouses:

Every one to two wears.

Suits :

Every three to five wears.

Formalwear :

After one to two wears.

Sweaters :

Every three to five wears, depending on use.

Winter coats:

Once per season, or sooner if exposed to salt, smoke, stains, or heavy odors.

Signs Your Clothes Need a Trip to the Cleaner

A set number of wears is only part of the equation. Some garments collect body oils, odors, and invisible stains long before they look dirty. Watch for these common signs:

Visible stains: Treating stains early helps prevent them from setting.
Lingering odors: Smoke, perspiration, and cooking smells can remain even when they're not immediately noticeable.
Collars and cuffs look dingy: Body oils and everyday wear often build up in these areas first.
Wrinkles that don't relax: If a garment no longer hangs properly after airing out, it may be time for cleaning and professional pressing.
Seasonal storage: Clean coats, sweaters, and formalwear before storing them for months to help prevent lingering stains and odors.

When a garment no longer looks, smells, or feels as fresh as it did after cleaning, it's usually time for another trip to the cleaner.

Can You Dry Clean Too Often? Yes, You Can

Yes, garments can be professionally cleaned more often than necessary. Every cleaning process adds some wear over time, which is why most clothing doesn't need to be cleaned after every use. Instead of following a fixed schedule, consider how often a garment is worn, its condition, and the care label when deciding whether it's time to clean it.

Waiting too long can create bigger problems. Body oils, perspiration, and unnoticed stains can settle into fabric, making them harder to remove later. The goal is to clean garments before buildup becomes a problem while avoiding unnecessary trips to the cleaner when an item is still fresh and in good condition.

How GreenEarth Cleaning Affects Frequency

The cleaning process itself also affects how often a garment needs care. We use the GreenEarth® eco-friendly process , which is gentle on fabrics and leaves nothing behind but a fresh, odor-free finish. That means when your garments are ready for professional care, they're cleaned with a process that helps protect colors, textures, and delicate details.
