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?

I was just quoted alterations as $55-60 for hem and $65-80 for bustle depending on what kind of bustle. Any other was included.

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!

Alterations are $175 and bustle is $75

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.
