Yon at My Daughter's Wedding III in Great Neck.
She is making my dress and this past summer made my sister's bridesmaid dresses.

hi DSandBS!

I found the # of the store you mentioned. before i call them, can you give me a range of prices that i should be expecting? i am just curious because i never had a dress made before and i really dont have an idea about what is a 'reasonable' price range.

thank you so much for the recommendation, i feel more confident visting tailors that have success stories from other clients!
