Re: hey, does anyone know if

I dont know if you are supposed to, but I plan on tipping if she does all the changes I requested.

Re: hey, does anyone know if

Not me. I think paying $500 for alterations is more than enough.

I don't plan to either.

Re: hey, does anyone know if

there was a sign in the dressing room that said that it was appreciated... i didnt tip though,because i had already spent $$$ on alterations there!

Re: hey, does anyone know if

I am not planning on it. If I do it will be a very last minute decision and it will only be if she goes above and beyond.

Re: hey, does anyone know if

I personally did because she was very nice and made extra changes on her lunch hour for me. I'm glad I did.

But, if she hadn't been so wonderful, I might not have.

Re: hey, does anyone know if

I don't want to.

My alterations are costing me about $450 so i doubt it.

Re: hey, does anyone know if

I'm not..my alterations are $500 which I think is ridiculous! I guess it's up to you though.

Re: hey, does anyone know if

I actually gave her $20. She did A LOT of work, and was very nice throughout the whole process. When I wanted extra stays at the bodice of my dress, she said no problem. When I wanted a special monogram label sewn in, she did a great job. So I didn't mind giving her a little extra.

Re: hey, does anyone know if

I slipped her a $20 for coming in on the weekend for me.

BTW - love the Yorkie puppy in your avatar - I have a Yorkie - do you have any more pics???

Re: hey, does anyone know if

I don't plan on it either. Have to agree that we are spending enough for the alterations.

Re: hey, does anyone know if

I didn't. I wasn't even aware that it might be expected!

Re: hey, does anyone know if

Klarabelle Posted: Aug 02, 2006 09:08 PM

Re: hey, does anyone know if

I did....my dress had so many layers and she really did work so hard for me every time I went in there, not to mention that the place were I got my dress treated her like a slave! I just wanted to do something to show her she was appreciated!
