have/ are you paying for alterations on your dress. I have a beaded organza layer. And I got qouted $120 just for the hem, which as first I was like 'What the %$#@ for, there's no cutting?!?!' She just has to raise the organza layer and cut and hem the bottom layer. Do you think it's so much because it's 2 layers as opposed to one? TIA

There is an organza layer over the dress. The organza can't be cut, just raised, but what is underneath the organza has to be cut and hemmed.
Honestly, from what I've heard that's really not that bad although I think all wedding alterations/products are a complete ripoff. The place where I got my dress charges a flat fee of $200 and all she's doing for me is making the bustle b/c it has a corset top and the designer cuts her dresses to people around my height. I'm not even getting a French bustle, I'm getting the American one.
I paid $100 for alterations and bustle from Phyllis cause there wasn't much hemming she needed to do and then I wanted a french bustle.
I'm paying $150 for all alterations, no cap.
$ 0
395 is my cap for alteration
To be honest that's not that much Kleinfelds is $565 flat fee.
Did your alterations include hem, bringing it in on the sides at all? I was qouted $200 for the hem and sides and completley forgot to ask about a bustle. I have to say the more I hear about this phyllis woman the more I want to use her!
