Alterations Guesstimation

How much should I expect to pay for alterations? I realize it COMPLETELY depends on various things, but I am wondering what the ranges are. I did some googling but came up with different answers. I'm thinking worst case scenario, it will be a lace bottom that needs hemmed, sides taken it slightly past the hips to create a trumpet silhouette, added sweetheart... I'm just wondering because I found a cheaper dress that will have few alterations and a more expensive dress that will have more alterations... And I will probably use the great and powerful Becky :)

    I paid $125 for hem, taking the dress in, cups sewn in and a bustle. 

    Her prices are a little all over the place but I've never seen anything that even approached $200 I don't think.

    I got a french bustle and about an inch hem for $108 from Becky. I doubt very much you'll pay more than $125 if you go to her.

    Aww, thanks so much! This really helped me out. I also forgot to add that I would also do a bustle (isn't that where the lift off the train for reception?). This thread was helpful because I had NO idea.
