Tipping Seamstress?

Do you tip the seamstress who does your alterations?

I didn't.All mine had to do really was take up the hem and it was expensive.

I did - 'cause I felt she was really helpful. I've seen other posts about this - so try a search, too. I think this is one where you can simply decide whether or not to tip depending on the service you've received. Isn't the whole tipping thing really hard??!?

When my cousin got married, she tipped a very nominal amount (maybe $5-10) and then sent the seamstress a beautiful floral arrangement.

I think it's up to you. I would think technically most seamstress' work for themselves, and you generally do not tip owners.

I think the general rule is you tip vendors who don't own their own business, if you're happy with their work.

I did - I think $20 when I picked up my dress.
