Have you ever noticed...

...that when they tell you 'the cap is $75 for alterations' it ALWAYS end up being $75 NO MATTER what you get done! I've been in 5 weddings in the past 2 years and EVERY place I had to pay the cap on it and 1 place I just had a hem and another I had it brough in, hemmed, and made into a halter top. It's INSANE!

Me neither. My alterations for my wedding gown are way cheaper than the cap. Thank God!

LOL, so does mine.....I wasn't including that. My bustle is so ridiculous that the woman actually didn't even charge us for the whole thing because it was so much!
