Cost of alterations/Bustling

Curious if this is in line with the norm...

The cost for alterations is capped at $350 (at this point, assuming going to be charged full 350, cause who cuts a break in all this wedding stuff?)
The cost to bustle the dress is $125.
The cost per point of the bustle is $25.

So my total will be $500 (350+150) + number of points (assume 5, which is what I have in my head for some reason) and the total cost of alterations is ....$625


This seems so high to me. But is this in line with what everyone is being charged?

This just seems crazy high to me, after the cost of the dress. But glad to know its in line with others.
