Alterations - what do you pay?

[Deleted]

I just got 5 of the J. Crew no. 2 skirts and I need to get them hemmed since I didn't get the petite size. I am going to hem the bottom of 2 and get the other 3 taken in on the top to make a higher waisted skirt. I think I usually pay $12 to hem pants, but I can't remember. I live in DC, so prices may be higher. Trying to get an idea of how much this will be. Thanks!

I want to get a cotton dress hemmed, one layer, and they quote me 12-14.

I'd like to get some ideas too. I'm in between sizes in the wool no. 2 pencil skirt. I got the bigger size, so I need to get it nipped in the waist area. I wonder how much J.Crew would charge for this alteration. I bought it on sale, so it doesn't qualify for free in-house tailoring.

I pay $11 to hem pants in San Francisco area.
