Reply #5: Yes, it could be done and not that hard at ALL [View All]

But rather than going to a tailor at a store or dry cleaners, check out independent seamstresses (or seamsters, or whatever the male equivalent is.) Check the newspaper. I'm talking about people that do things like alterations to wedding dresses from their home. OR if there's a local theatre, see if someone in their costume department would do it in exchange for a contribution to the theatre.

We found a gem of a lady who's done tons of stuff for us, including virtually remaking a tux for my husband (it was given to us.)

Good luck!
