My alterations are included in the price of my dress. I need very little done and the length is fine. I got charged 100 dollars for the bustle. Isn't this an alteration or do most places charge for this.

for me they give me the total alterations price which is something like 575 and then show me the break down is something like lateration 425, bustle 150 or something
most places charged separately for the bustle

The train drags on the back, but you need to pin it up for the reception so people don't step on it...they put in buttons or ties, its called a bustle.

thats crazy! shouldnt the dress designer already have some type of feature in the gown that allows for the bustle to be tagged to the dress ?? isn't that like..common sense?
Why should we pay extra to simply have the bustle altered when it should have been there in first place?? Screw that!!!!!!! I was looking at some dresses and most of them have a little button on the back of the dress that you can pin the bustle to...I refuse to pay $$ to have that 'fixed'...I don't consider that an alteration either!!![]()

I bought my dress at lilletts and they told me that alterations were included in the price they quoted me but I have to pay extra for the bustle it depends on the length of the train they told me.
Bustle is always extra. I forget what mine was. My BM dresses even have a bustle. Theirs is like 15 bucks though.
Every store I looked at charges separately for the bustle
