As for the issue of free alterations, a few years ago, a California executive got fed up after she was charged $40 to alter a $1500 evening gown, while her husband received extensive alterations to his tuxedo, free. This woman, Lorie Anderson, and a friend and co-worker, Muriel Kaylin Mabry, who also was charged for alterations at the Saks Fifth Avenue store in Beverly Hills, decided to sue. They enlisted the aid of a well-known sex discrimination lawyer, Gloria Alred, and won a class action suit against Saks.
The suit never went to court. Saks settled, claiming they had done nothing wrong, but had always charged men and women the same price for equivalent alterations. Despite this explanation, Saks eliminated or reduced prices for some alterations to hems, sleeves and waists in its 45 branches nationwide. Anderson and Mabry said, with satisfaction, that the change would save them hundreds of dollars a year.
