Alterations Pricing ...

What is everyone paying for alterations? Is a bustle included or additional?

Just want to get a sense for when that time comes!

My place I think the cap is 225 or so

Bustle is usually always extra

Really? Why is the bustle extra? Seems like that would be the easiest part! I wonder if its worth it to take it to an outside place for the bustle. Hmmm

Not sure but every place I looked at told me the cap on alterations and then the price of the bustle. The more hooks or complication makes it go up

Most told me to estimate 150 or so

I basically had not alterations just bustle and straps and it's like 350. It was 195 for french bustle. I think that's nuts though!

ALterations seem to be $250-$300 with bustle separate: $10 per point is what I was told.

I know! It's crazy!

They give you the option of taking it elsewhere, but I'm just worried that since it is their exclusive designer, it might not be done as well. I'm sure it would be fine, but I don't know if I'm willing to take the risk.
