How the scorecard works

Rating is each business’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated it, set against other tailors in the St. Louis area. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.8 from hundreds of people carries more weight than a 5.0 from a few. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews.

What alterations cost in St. Louis (2026)

No prices are published here. Alteration pricing usually depends on the garment, how many seams or layers are involved, whether beading or lace is in the way, and how fast you need it back. Ask each shop for a quote after it has seen the item, and ask whether a rush turnaround changes the price.
