| No, unfortunately Im in Atlanta and the dress was ordered in Indiana. The bride had to overnight it to me so I could get it finished. |

What Im asking is if anyone has paid THIS MUCH for an alteration. I think Im getting ripped off. 185 bucks seems like a helluva lot to pay. No, its not really like prom because you can try these dresses on at prom. With this, we had to measure and then get a size, it took three months to come in, and now I have to get it altered.
Another girl that went there for the exact same service two weeks ago paid 90 dollars. I think Im getting scammed.
edit: Where the HELL is Theresa? I feel like shes been through this before... |
185 yes too much, but low to mid 100's no. My mother is a seamstress and the more you do, the more the price is. If it is a slight adjustment to the waist.. that is one thing. If it is to many parts of the dress... time is money. |

Sam ask her how much she would charge to take a full length dress in 1 or 2 sizes (from the sides, not the back). |

Okay. Im planning on calling this woman tomorrow to see what she can do for me.
Jamie, I know, I would, but I feel like Im kind of already obligated with this woman because she pinned it and chalked all over it and stuff. God forbid she already started cutting. |

Side note, my mother did this for about 8 years with 2 different companies, now she does it out of my parents house. So it may be a little lower (just a guess. She is offline now so I cant ask) |

So Im in a wedding next weekend and I took the dress in to get altered today. Basically, I had my mom measure me 4 months ago and then ordered the size based on that. Well, 4 months went by and now Im apparently two sizes smaller because this dress is huge and needs to be taken in EVERYWHERE.
And its going to cost me 185 bucks.
The dress itself only costs 150. No, I cant order a smaller size, it took three months for the dresses to come in. Apparently the company makes them to order.
Have any of you girls had any experience with this? Ive never had to take something in and get it totally redone. WHY IS IT SO FRIGGING MUCH?!
Gosh. :sadgreen: |
eat some ing bacon untill you fit! |

LOL!!
Why would you think this?
I actually have no experience with altering clothes. Unfortunately I have never had any clothing important/good enough that I cared/needed to have altered to my size. |
