I am a demetrios bride and they can alter their dresses especially if you get it from a Demetrios location like macys in the smithaven mall or macys manhasset.

I do know that their fittings can get quite expensive and they do not have a cap but the gowns are gorgeous and I have had such a pleasurable experience with them so far. My fitting is in May.

Yes, you do not have to get your fittings there but you will be paying for the customizing of the dress and that you wan't know pricing until you pick what you want of each dress

I got my dress from Macy's in Manhasset and I am having them change the neckline--that was 250 I believe, if I wanted to add more detail to the bottom or remove straps, I believe that they were each around 200-300
I know you can def get the top of one and bottom of another, girls were doing it while I was trying on. I don't know the prices, but I figured I would tell you what I am spending on changing the dress and maybe you can get the idea
Oh and I am having my dress altered elsewhere

Re: Any Demetrios brides out there?!?!

you can do alot of customizing with demetrios

im having just the neckline changed and it was an extra $250

ETS: even though im just changing the neckline its stressing me out soooo much! i hope it looks okay and not knowing what your dress is going to look like can make you a little nuts! july cannot come soon enough! i just want to see it and try it on already! trying on the sample isnt like trying on my dress - so you have to be confident enough to make a change without seeing it first....and its scary! at least for me it is!

whoa... just for a neckline...

I'll show you guys what I'm thinking of... keep in mind, I've never tried it on but have tried on other gowns and know what looks best on me... and this one is very similar....



So I the top but really dont think the bottom fits my style (but hey u never know until u try it on right?!?) I'd want the bottom to be sleeker looking...

I think this'll be trickier to change than a ballgown or a-line, but i'm sure they're able to do it..you just have to figure out how much you're willing to spend because it might cost you a good piece of change..

This may be a stupid question, but is it any guarantee that macys carries most of the gowns that are on the site? i wouldnt wanna go down to manhattan to find out they dont even have it to try on.... its from spring 07

I had about 15 demetrios dresses that I wanted to try on about a year ago, the best bet is to call a macy's salon and ask if they have certain style numbers....when I did that, they had most of them but not all of them...

Re: Any Demetrios brides out there?!?!

I got a Demetrios dress!!! I ended up not changing anything, but when I was trying it on, I toyed with the idea of changing some things. For example, the back of my dress has a lot of detail, and they said I could extend the detail down to the bottom of my train, and it'd cost $250. I ended up deciding not to do it, just because I felt I liked it enough the way it was. But it sounds like when you want to change some things like a neckline, or extend something, it costs about $250. Not sure what it'd cost when changing the top and bottom of a dress, but it should definitely be do-able. Good luck!!!

I am not a Demetrios Bride but when I was dress shopping, Macy's in Manhasset said that they could put the top of any gown with the bottom of any gown as well as customize the gown in any you want - remove beading, change the neckline, change the dress style, etc. I have no idea how much this would cost but it must be based on how much extra work they have to do.

My dress was a Demetrios. (I'm still in love with it!!) They didn't carry it at all Macy's stores (I tried to go 'visit' it when I was going through my 'did-i-pick-the-right dress' phase and they only carried that style at the Manhasset Macy's soooo I would suggest calling ahead). Also, IMO unfortunetly, Macy's is also HORRIBLY overpriced so that's probably why you are getting such a great quote from netbride. I found my dress at Macy's but bought it at Burtons because it was $500 cheeper and alterations, I believe, have a cap there.
