Alteration question......is this normal

I went to one of my BMs fittings today. They have a cap on alterations of $55 so anyway she needed nothing done to her dress except the 3 point bustle which was $10 a point oh and she has boobies put in to.....so how did her bill come to $108

Is it normal that they charge you the cap regardless along with these 2 other things she needed??


I understand that the boobies and the bustle are extra but that is ALL she had done....NO hem, no taken in anywhere...so thats why I am questioning it.

Re: Alteration question......is this normal

No I think a cap means that its the highest price they can charge no matter what work needs to be done....

Re: Alteration question......is this normal

i would think she shouldnt have been charged more than $55. i would inquire why they charge her so much.

Re: Alteration question......is this normal

THey usually consider the cap on normal alterations....this happened to me....I had cups sewn in...was NOT included

Re: Alteration question......is this normal

Cups if I remember correctly are not included but 55 for cups??? whoa

Re: Alteration question......is this normal

bustle and boobs are not included in the cap as well as custom changed are not included. Cap includes hem, take in or out that sort of thing.

Re: Alteration question......is this normal

Yes, the cap only includes certain things. My dress had a cap of around $200 and I ended up spending close to $500. I had a jacket made, the bustle, and the cups.
