A customer walks into your shop and says:

“I only want to take my measurements. I’ll sew the outfit somewhere else.”

Do you take the measurements for free, or do you charge?

Taking accurate measurements requires your time, experience, and skill. But some customers may feel it’s just a quick service that shouldn’t cost anything.

Now let’s make it interesting:

If you charge, how much is fair? And should the fee be deducted if the customer eventually sews with you?

Tailors, be honest:

• Do you charge for measurements?
• How much do you charge?
• What do you do when a customer takes their measurements and goes elsewhere to sew?
