You can take off-the-shelf clothes to your local tailor to have it tailored to your body. It cost ~$10-15 per garment. A lot less expensive then tailor-making an entire garment.

Unless you're referring to historical prices, I'm not sure where those numbers are coming from. For US/UK prices, good tailoring of something RTW, if it can be done at all, would cost at least 10 times that amount; even something as simple as hemming trousers could cost more that that. And some things are not usually altered, eg, even bespoke shirtmakers usually make new shirts with adjustments after doing fittings rather than altering ones they have made.
