How can a customer distinguish a fit correction from a requested design change?

Direct answer
A fit correction addresses the agreed garment's sizing or movement; a design change alters what was originally approved.
Compare the problem with the order, measurements and fitting notes rather than arguing over the word alteration. Ask the tailor to state the proposed work, charge and revised completion date before it starts. Some issues involve both fit and design, so record the agreement explicitly. Responsibility for payment depends on the facts and applicable terms; not every request is automatically free or chargeable.
