What you should know about alterations
I had the loveliest bride yesterday who needed to bring a dress home that day. She had a $1k budget but managed to find a $600 gown that she adored. She needed two things from alterations: a bustle, and to have the gown hemmed. So I pulled someone out from our alterations department to give her an estimate on what would need to be done, and the estimate ended up being $150 for the bustle and $260 for the hem. My bride's face fell.
Look, I'm not going to lie. That's a LOT. After the alterations person left, I said something to her that I'm not supposed to, and I want to say it to all of you too.
If your bridal salon has an alterations department, YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO USE THEM FOR THE DRESS YOU BUY AT THAT SALON.
Please pardon the all caps, but I think it's necessary.
Generally speaking, your stylist won't tell you that. Getting you into your dream dress and then getting you an alterations appointment is part of the job, so some stylists just let you assume you have to use our in-house people. YOU DO NOT.
If a bride of mine is given an alterations estimate and she's okay with it, then it's all good and I don't do anything. But if it turns out to be a problem for her in any way, I will tell her that that estimate's just us and that she can take the dress anywhere she likes.
There are seamstresses all over the place. A ton of dry cleaners have them. There are other bridal salons, and sometimes, tux shops will do bridal gowns as well. And there are independent seamstresses out there who do great work, too. Hell, there's even a friend's grandma out there who knows what she's doing. Just research the hell out of alterations people first!
Just remember, you are 100% free to shop around.
