I'm just a bit confused about the price that I am being charged for alterations for my wedding gown. I was lucky enough to find 'the' dress. It was a bit out of my mom's budget, but the salon owner said she'd take $200 off and give me the head piece and veil for free. I went for my first fitting last week and was told that the alterations are going to be $360!! The alterations weren't even extensive. I ordered a size 2 and it fits almost perfectly. The owner told me that she had the manufacturer hem the dress before it even came to the store. I am just wondering if this is normal?? I am thinking that I am being taken advantage of because she just wanted the sale when I first tried on the dress and 'took off' $200 from the price of the dress and 'threw in' the headpiece and veil just to add on to the price of alterations in the end... I just wanted your opinions :) Thank you!
My alternations were free at the wedding salon.
Ginamarie, do you have to do the alterations at the same place you bought the dress?
Mine were WAY expensive and all I needed was a hem, bustle and had a custom strap made-$450 so I don't know....I definitely think I was overcharged but I loved my bridal shop so went with it.
