My bridal salon (White Flower) said that they have 3 seamstresses they work with and alterations are typically $400 - $700 (and more if customization is requested). That seems like a lot. My dress fits almost perfectly. I want my waist/hip area taken in and some of fluff (tulle?) under the dress removed (seriously I could do that with scissors). I guess I'm trying to figure out if that means my cost will be $400 or under. Oh, and they don't take credit. They want cash or check which is tough 2 months before my wedding.
What have you SD ladies paid and what did you need done?
