I went to a bridal store to purchase my dress and we asked for the best price, as I had found it very cheap on the internet, but was skeptical to buy it online. After the price was reduced and I got measured, things got a little hetic and I signed the invoice and put down a deposit. When I got home I noticed that the price for alterations were capped at $200 but there was a separate price for a bustle listed at $125. Is this how much alterations cost because I kind of feel like they took the price off the dress and then moved it to the alterations. Any thoughts?

My alterations were included in the price of my dress. However, they are charging $100 for a bustle.

Re: Alterations... Is this right?
The alterations part seems about right. My dress was under $1,000 and my alterations were capped at $250 and thy only had to take in the top!
The bustle was a cheaper bustle, so it cost me $80. It depends on wha they have to do to the dress ad what kind of bustle I suppose.

This sounds very reasonable to me. I know a lot of girls who paid a lot more for their alterations.

My alterations at Kleinfeld's were super expensive (but well worth it). That sounds like a good price.

Re: Alterations... Is this right?
My alterations (and my dress) were quite expensive. No matter the price of the dress, alterations were capped at $400 including bustle. I thinks it's a reasonable price.
