Clothes alterations- West Dublin- how much?

I was speaking to a friend at lunch about alteration i need to a pair of denims- just need 1 inch taken off and stiched up etc- she noted that she had paid 12 euro in Ballyowen Castle Dry Cleaners in Lucan.

Is this typical of the rate charged?

I dont know. I recently got a pair of full length heavy curtains turned up by Ballyowen Dry Cleaners. Cost me €65 Euro on a special.

However, the quality of the work was excellent and the curtains were pressed and when up looked as if they had been custom made.

Was very impressed with the service, overall.

Nice to hear that- sounds good for curtains- lot of work in them.

Do you know any other place in Lucan area?

I regularly get trousers turned up by a professional service and about 10-12E is about right.
If you consider the minimum wage, and that it is an hours work to turn up a pair of trousers, then you would not expect to pay any less, especially for someone skilled to do a good job.

I turn up jeans myself, if I am not too bothered how they look and the ones done professionaly always look better. If the trousers or jeans have cost you a bit of money an extra tenner to make them look good whenn turned up is worth it.

Paid €10 to get trousers taken up in the city centre last week.

Regularly have to get trousers taken up. I go to the citycentre and the price typically is 10-15e depending on the seam and finish e.g turn ups cost more.
