I am confused about the cost about alterations. Are they supposed to be really high? I know that it is partially my fault because I lost a lot of weight and now the dress has to be taken in so much but $199? Is that high or is it just me. That cost is to take it in and to hem it up because it is too long and because of my recent accident I can't wear really high heels. I haven't ever gotten a wedding dress altered so I didn't know if this was the norm. The shop came very highly recommended and I trust that she will do a good job but it still seemed a bit steep. Maybe I am just a HUGE bargin bride, so I wanted to see what some of you ladies ended up paying for your alterations. Thanks! Liz
