Does anyone know about how much DavidBridal will charge me for getting my DB dress hemmed, taken in an inch or 2, and a bustle added?
This is my dress (DB website picture). It has ruching on the bodice and appliques on the back and front of the bodice and a little on the back of the skirt. It also zips up.

I'm not sure about the hem but I know when it comes to the bustle it ranges on the dress & style of bustle you go with. The initial bustle price includes three button/hooks I believe. After that I think I paid $10 per additional button/hook. Which added up quickly because I went with a ballroom bustle (dress tucked under) but it was the one that showed off the details on the back of my dress the best so I thought it was worth it.
An example of a horror story. My sister bought her dress from DB. It was a simple a-line dress with satin underlay and an ivory overlay. She needed it hemmed, bustled and taken in just a smidge. When she returned to try it on the satin was hemmed to the appropriate lenght but the lace was not changed. She asked why. They said that if they hemmed the lace it would ruin the finishing. My sister said, well I need it shortened to be able to walk without tripping over the fabric. They said that if she insisted that they would hem it but that it would cost her extra and that it would ruin the final look of the lace. Needless to say my sister took her dress to another seamstress who was able to take up the lace just fine without ruining the finished look.
