Re: Alterations - How much did/will yours cost?
Wow, I was quoted $300 and I'm only getting cups sewn in and it taken in on the top, nothing on the bottom! Is that a lot?

Are your alterations being done by the bridal salon?
Does anyone know of a good seamstress that works independently? I am thinking about ordering my dress online but need to be fitted first. Then I would like this person to do the alterations.
TIA!

Re: Alterations - How much did/will yours cost?
I called her back and let her know I wasn't too thrilled with the price and it is going to be $175. Ladies, make sure you speak up!
BTW - What is a bustle? That big part that comes out of the back? What do they do with that?

The bustle is when they take your train and pin it (usually with presewn buttons) so that you're comfortable at your reception.

Re: Alterations - How much did/will yours cost?
Kleinfelds chanrges a mandatory $400, but that includes the bustle. That didn't however include the cups. I couldn't believe they charged me an additional $20 to have cups sewn in! 
Other than that, I was happy with their alterations. They ordered me a size 8 and it was way too big. Since the dress was all lace it was probably a PITA to alter. The waist area need major alterations. and the bottom hem was scalloped, so they had to remove it, hem the dress and then resew the hem back on.

Re: Alterations - How much did/will yours cost?
I think mine was a little under $100, but my dress was made to length & and that was an addiotnal $100 int he beginning.
The other alterations I had were: letting the top out , pickign the straps up & a one point bustle. I think what I paid was on the low end. At David's for a bm dress I paid almost as much as the dress, around 120-150 & for my wedding my mom said her alterations were more than mine, but her dress was beaded.

I was capped at $245, (if I'm remembering correctly) plus the bustle which was around $95.
ETA: Oh, and of course I met the cap.
