So I went for my first fitting and for the bussel, hemmed on the bottom for both the dress and skirt and taken out a little, it was $233. I couldn't believe how much it was!

Re: ARE ALTERATIONS THAT EXPENSIVE
Mine are $405 including my slip, not including the HTH I already paid for
ETA: That is taking in the bodice and hips quite a bit and the bustle

Re: ARE ALTERATIONS THAT EXPENSIVE
Alterations are definitely pricey.
Mine aren't bad, but I'm just getting my dress hemmed, adding a 1 point bustle, and having the shoulders shortened a bit
Mine are about $150?

Re: ARE ALTERATIONS THAT EXPENSIVE
My alterations were $425! That's because she's changing it to be a sweetheart neckline, sewing on a rhinestone belt, adding pick ups, sewing skirt into the dress, bustling and hemming...still seems like a lot!!

Mine came to $150 but I didn't get my dress hemmed. All they did was add the bustle and take the hips in a little.

Re: ARE ALTERATIONS THAT EXPENSIVE
I think that alterations is how they 'get you'. My cap is $595 and that is not including the bustle. The bustle is capped at $295, and I know mine will be a French bustle, so it'll be the full $295. It's pretty ridiculous!

Me too! I got a Monique Lhullier at the trunk show....and the cost of alterations and bustle were almost as much as the discount! But that's what you pay for couture!
