Alterations & Tailoring in Charleston, SC
12 of the 16 sewing and fabric businesses we list in Charleston have clothing alterations, hemming and tailoring on site. You bought the fabric — now you need someone to actually sew it, or take in a suit that almost fits. Google Maps answers with a category; it can't tell a tailor who drafts a garment from scratch apart from a dry cleaner who pins hems at the counter. Every shop listed here was confirmed to do alterations work, either from its own site or from how the business describes itself, so the phone number you call is one that can answer the question you're asking.

Good to know
What's the difference between a tailor and an alterations shop?
An alterations shop adjusts a garment you already own — hems, seams, zippers, taking in or letting out. A tailor can do all of that and also cut and construct a garment from fabric, which is what you want if you've bought material and need it made up. Many businesses do both, but the skill sets are different and so is the price.
Can a dry cleaner do alterations?
Often yes — in the United States counter alterations at dry cleaners are common, and for a hem or a simple seam that's usually all you need. For structured work such as a jacket, a suit or a bridal gown, look for a shop that lists tailoring as its own service rather than as an add-on.
