Tipping seamstress?

I just wanted to know if you should tip the seamstress. This isn't even for my wedding dress, this is for bridesmaid dresses that I am wearing. I am picking them up today and wasn't sure if I have to tip her or not! Thanks!

I cant imagine giving a tip on top of that, and keep in mind my dress fits like a glove, i only needed a 1 inch hem, and slight taking in and bustle

I've never tipped any seamstresses that worked on BM dresses for me. I think this is one area where you don't have to tip!!!! Yay!

Yeah I don't think that you have to tip in addition. However, I'm getting my dress done at David's Bridal so I might tip the seamstress if it's the same one since the money is not just going in her pocket. For a dress I got hemmed for a past wedding, I went to a family friend and I gave her a few extra dollars even though the money was going to her. It was kind of last minute and she was really helpful and timely.

OMG you are using the same dress? That is too funny! Yeah it was for their wedding and a wedding I'm in the weekend before theirs. Both dresses are the same color. I didn't tip the seamstress, I just wanted to ask the question on here just in case. Oh I'm sorry I didn't take any pictures! I was just picking it up this weekend. What color are you having your dresses Jenise? I also heard that you are hanging out on Sat, we should have some fun!!!
