$240 plus $50 for steaming. The steaming wasn't worth it. I own a steamer and ended up re-steaming it at the hotel the night before the wedding, anyway...

My total came to $231. I'm picking the dress up on Monday, so I don't know how it came out yet, but she had to take it in quite a bit, she cut the train off and is making a shawl, she's hemming it for me, narrowing the sash at the waist so it's not so thick looking, and doing a French bustle.

She only charged me $6 for the bustle. Now I'm wondering whether she's going to do a crappy job or if other places are really overcharging!
