How much is everyone paying for alterations??

I have a budget in mind for the dress and I need to have an idea of how much alterations cost (I am just under 5ft so I know they are going to have to make a bunch of changes..)
so I dont go over budget by buying a dress that with alterations is too expensive

Re: alterations

You should ask your bridal shop, since each places varies. mine has a $250 cap... so bascially I will only be paying up to 250... but it varies everywhere.

I'm paying $500 I know its a lot but I trust her work
I'm 5'1 so she has to do major alterations to the dress

Wow ... That is cheap ... Do they only do the cap if you buy your dress from them?

I got my dress at Kleinfelds and I was thinking of using them for alterations because their basement is alterations and they have like every bead and diamon down there ever ... My dress was a sample and its missing some beads, so I wanted that replaced but im also 4' 11 and I need it cut and the bust fixed a little ... so I would just rather they do it. They have a flat fee of 575 though, which includes dry cleaning and pressing!

Mine is $250. She's doing a lot to the dress too. But I want to get it dry cleaned and that's not included. It's a private shop in westchester.

i really have no idea... i never asked bc they were the ones to give me the best price on my gown so i bought it through them... Def call and ask if you're interested, but be prepared for some of carol's (owner?) sarcasm
