hi ladies, everyone has been so helpful and i am need of help again! i bought an amazing maggie sottero dress at a sample sale for a great price but when i took it for the estimate for the alterations i have an issue. i took it to reina, she said $300, ok that is good. i took it to another lady, whom a friend of mine HIGHLY suggested and she said $1,000. she said because the hem has allot of applique she will have to take it all off by hand, hem it and stich it all back on by hand. she said becareful of anyone that says anything less because they are probably going to cut it, she said she can do that too but it will compromise the dress, taking away half of the beautiful hem. i'm leaning towards selling the dress and starting from scratch, which is ok w/ me because even as beautiful as the dress is it's heavy and very hot. we are getting married 6/24 and i'm ok w/ something more summery. which leads me to my bm dress issue, i picked out this
http://www.billlevkoff.com/style/bridesmaid-dress/160 in watermelon and we need to order dresses STAT b/c time is running out. but i'm a little hesitant since i'm not sure about my dress. do you guys think this dress is versitile enough or have a suggestion on a place that can get me the dresses quicker that i can look at so i don't have to decide like tomorrow?? Thank you!!
