Re: Tipping seamstress

I actually gave a tip to my seamstress at my second fitting because I decided to wear a different slip and had to get the dress re-measured for a hem. I figured I wanted her to be in a good mood when she did my dress. I am sure this is NOT ordinary practice but she really was nice and understanding when I arrived again to redo the first fitting.

I'm not. She didn't have to do much to my dress except take up the hem.And its costing me $50.

Re: Tipping seamstress

I did. She did a great job on the alterations and did a lot of stuff at the last minute so I didnt have to run out there again BUT my straps broke at some point in the evening so she really didnt deserve it. I dont know if that helps you but thats my story.
