I don't think my place has cap on the alterations!

I already paid $100 to have it made to my length.
I doubt it will need to be taken in, but the straps probably need to be adjusted since I have uneven shoulders.

I had no idea bustles were so expensive. $91 for the basic is a lot!
My fitting is in 2 weeks.


wow made to your length that is nice!
I am sure strap adjustments are not much!
I didn't know bustles were that expensive either..91..i wish, mine was 14



The manufaturer does the whole hollow to hem thing, b/c they embroidery & beading will get messed up if you hem it later.
It was a little annoying bc/ I had to rush to find shoes, and it did cost $100!

I hope the shoulders don't cost much, but there is beading involved.

Bustles are so crazy! A few people had them fall down, too, which is a shame after all that $$$ !

yes..alteration is so expensive...I was quoted $400.. so I'm shopping around trying to find something cheaper...
the only thing you can keep telling yourself is..it'll all be worth it.. everything will be great at the end...
at that's what I'm telling myself..haha
