What alterations do dry cleaners do?

Many dry cleaners have a tailor or seamstress in the shop, or send the work to one. Common jobs are hemming pants and dresses, taking in or letting out a waist, shortening sleeves, replacing zippers and fitting suits. Bigger jobs, such as wedding dress alterations, usually need a fitting appointment.
