Depends on the level of modification that is needed - but the bill can quickly out pace the value of the garment. I had two ~$250 off the rack suits when I was 50lbs heavier. They would have needed to have nearly every stitch removed to shrink every panel to make them fit with out looking out of proportion. At some point, the modification is essentially making you a new suit out of the pieces of your old one. It was going to cost half the price of a new one (each) for the mods which wasn't worth it to me. Sold them on the bay for 40 or 50 bucks each and bought new ones that fit.

It's a good problem to have though.
