Tailors, what do you charge when a customer changes the design after cutting?

Say we've agreed on a straight skirt and I've cut the customer's fabric. At the fitting she wants a different shape that needs another panel. I can price the extra fabric easily enough. It's the time taking it apart and fitting it again that I keep giving away.

Estimate the extra hours for unpicking, sewing the new panel and doing another fitting. Charge those at your usual labour rate and add the fabric separately. Give her that extra price before you take the skirt apart, so she can decide whether to keep the original design.
