it depends on the dress...if its very intricate its going to cost more.

Re: alterations?
the place where i got my dress is charging me $350 on alterations and $150 to bustle it -- but this might be higher than other places - it might depend on where you get your dress, the detail on it and how much it costs.

Re: alterations?
everything is soo expensive b/c of the word wedding associated with it. I read somewhere that if something is a 'wedding item' they usually charge 70% more than if it was a regular item. CRAZY!!!

Re: alterations?
mine is probably going to be insane...the dress has scalloped edges and is all beaded. I should have thought about that before I bought it lol

mostly all places have a cap on alterations no matter what they have to do to it. It also would depend on the price of your gown. I'm sure if someone buys a gown thats $1000, it would be insane to charge $500 for alterations.

Some also have cap.... be aware some places say there is a cap but then they charge a second fee to do the thing in the back lol.
