I went this weekend to my first alterations appt. I expected to spend a little bit of money and thought I was prepared..WRONG! After everything was said and done it ended up costing me 294 dollars! All in all with both the cost of the dress and alterations im still under 800.But still! I didn't think the alterations would be that much since the dress wasnt that far off from my size. Any body else run into alterations schock too??
