Ok ladies....so I havent put on my dress since October when I purchased it. I went got my hair done prior to my fitting so i could see a possible style I may like. Arrived at my appointment, enjoyed every moment of trying on my gown, walking around in the salon, even snuck in a little two step just to make sure i could move.  The whole time nothing but smiles on my face. UNTIL.....I got the damn alterations bill. CAN YOU SAY WTH!!!!!! They sure know how to ruin a momemt. LOL They say the bills keep coming until you jump the broom, that was most def a shocker for me. $400 to alter my dress def put a lil damper in my day. 8.31.12 hurry up and get here!

    I knew before the alterations how much my alterations were going to be. I still wasn't prepared for the $200 bill. I just got a hem and a bustle.

    I needed a Hem, Bustle and to have the chest taken in alot. I also added cups in the dress because i need my girls to sit up.

    Thank God the place I got my dress included alterations in the price of the dress.. and if I opted out.. they took 20% off.
