I've decided on a gown and have been making calls to multiple salons to see 1)how much they sell the dress for and 2) how much alteration fees are. Is it worth trying to price shop this? Some places, it's free alterations but the dress is more expensive. Others, the alterations depend on what you want done. And some, it's a flat fee. Castle Couture uses contracted seamstresses so that is even based on their rate which can vary.
I'm not looking to spend a ton more on alterations but i also know that you get what you pay for. I'm just curious as to what some of you think.
