OMG...had no idea how expensive it would be to add a bustle and bra cups - $168! Granted, I had heard DB was expensive, but I'm afraid to take it anywhere else because they will at least guarantee a new dress if they screw mine up. If I take it elsewhere there is no such guarantee and I have no idea who I could trust to do the work. My dress could actually use a little hem, but that would bring the total cost of alterations to $263...ouch! Although it would probably look a teeny tiny bit better of I had it hemmed, I'm not walking on it as is and probably no one but me will be nitpicky about the length so I may not spend the extra money. I've been trying to lose a little weight and may just maintain from here so I don't have to have it taken in and add to the expense. However, I'm happy to say that I still love love love love love my dress and know I absolutely made the right choice!
