So because I'm paranoid about my dress (I have one of the VW dresses and they're aren't really short person friendly and I'm 4'11") and alterations so I'm going to my first fitting tomorrow. I know people say DB is way overpriced in the alterations department but I can't find a reliable seamstress in my area that has a good reputation for wedding gowns and mine has a lot of detail in the skirt so I'd rather take it to DB where they have actually worked on the gown I have before if that makes sense.
Anyhow I'm rambling, I apologize lol. But yeah for those of you who had their alterations at DB how did payment work? Did they quote you there and you pay like a deposit and pay the rest when you pick it back up or something? Trying to see how much money I should expect to have for tomorrow just in case.
I know when I got the dress that the underskirt and tulle need to be hemmed/taken up, it needs to be taken in a tiny bit at the waist, and I'm planning on getting a bustle. I'm assuming I'll be paying in the $300s by the sounds of previous DB brides. I hope my question made sense and I didn't confuse anyone lol.
Re: DB Fitting Question
They will make you pay in full once they figure out what needs to be altered, which is a bit of nervewracking. If you can't pay it all at once, they open up a DB credit card for you.
They did offer me the DB credit card if I couldn't pay in full, but I actually had already went ahead and opened an interest free credit card through a regular company to use for mulitple wedding items...We have a year of interest free (wedding is 4 months away) so we'll be well paid off before the interest kicks in .
