How much is your Bridal salon charging for Alterations???

I went to a bridal shop the other day and they had the dress that I want. That was the good part. Then the lady said that the alterations on any Bridal gown was $200 PLUS TAX?? and BM dresses was $59. Then we proceeded to ask what could they do for us if we got all the dresses from them. They said they could give us 10% off????

Anybody else have any luck with a better deal????

Thanks for all your help

I think they said the cap on the alterations was $200, but the bustle is not included in that. I believe they also said 10% off the BM or MOB, MOG dresses, but I don't think we'll be getting any of that there.

Is the $$ they are charging you including the bustle? Or is that the cap?

My bustle will probably be about $90 alone!!

alterations are 1 set price 175 (through Macy's) however I ordered my dress and signed all the paper work and a few days later I found out it went up....or it was not 1 set fee anymore

For my dress - $205. For the BM dresses - $65. Since the salon gave me a huge deal on my dresses, I really didn't fuss about it.

Kleinfelds charges a mandatory $400! That had BETTER include my bustle.

I really think this is crazy! Fees for alterations, but let me tell you--I negotiated my alteration fee! I found my dress at one bridal shop but I did not like the people or the place - cheezy!! etc.....they told me it took 6-9 months to get the dress in etc....so I went to the orginal bridal salon I started with and told them they have my dress at this Price, and their alterations are this much $$$ well, I got my dress LESS and they matched the alterations which were about $100 LESS ---
and I don't remember the price!
