How much do alterations cost, and how long do they take?
Costs will vary depending on the complexity of the gown, what part of the gown needs to be altered, what type of bustle you want, and any custom work you would like done (for example, adding straps). Commonly alterations can range from $100 to $600. We recommend you ask your seamstress for a quote before she begins work on your gown. This will help to manage expectations, and set a guideline for comparison. Ideally, you should schedule your first appointment for alterations about 2 months before your wedding.
