Suz, you gotta add to the tipping frenzy?

I hadn't even considered tipping her. I don't think I will..not b/c she did a bad job or anything...but because I don't think every 'vendor' needs a tip...this is definitely one I don't think needs tipping...now had she saved my dress from ruins or something I might feel differently.

Re: How much did you tip

I am going to tip the seamstress something. The amount will depend on how well she is able to do the alterations I needed. If she does them all she will really be doing a lot of work, since the bridal salon messed up in not telling me that the dress I ordered cant be altered to conform to the sample I tried on without changing the design of the dress.

Re: How much did you tip

$0

but then again, she owns her own business. so she pocketed what I paid, which was a lot!

Re: How much did you tip

i will not tip the seamstress. my dress needs to be taken in an inch on the sides and hemmed and the bustle so no tip

Re: How much did you tip

ok thanks. I didn't even think of it and my mom brought it up - I didn't even have $1 on me at my final fitting (oops). Then I felt badly about it ( to myself!)
