Dress Alterations


Can you ladies please offer me your help with this as I really don’t know anything about the wedding dress alteration process.

What is the usual fee for average alterations and bustle? I am getting a few different quotes, and some charge a flat fee for the bustle while others charge per button.
Can you please help me??
Thank you!

The places I've been to had a cap ranging from $395 to $595 plus around 200 for the bustle depending on the type. Hope this helps!

My place is $250 for alterations.

Bustle varies depending upon style. My varies between $150-$250. Some places charge per button, usually $25 each.

Don't forget to add cups which will be an additional charge if you need them.

I got my dress at Beautiful Bride in Lynbrook.
Call and ask for Patty. Not sure if they will alter dresses not bought in the store or if it would be the same price.
