General wedding discussion!: Alteration costs

Hello everyone!! Had a bit of a shock the other day. The shop where I'm havin my bridesmaids dresses from have said that 2 shorten the dresses it will b £40 each dress - all of my bridesmaids are real short -, and up to £60 in total each approx for other alterations. I have 4 bridesmaids, so thats a possible £240 in alterations before alteration costs to my own dress!! Does this sound right? How much r u paying?
- CommentAuthorRebecca
GOOD GOD!!!! my dress alterations are £75 but that also includes storage and insurance and pressing the dress before i pick it up. so i don't know about your cost, it seems high to me. Our bridesmaids dresse came from a website and they're not actually proper bridesmaids dresses they're just like evening dresses (proper bridesmaids dresses were TOO expensive and we've 4 bridesmaids.) but were £25 each and the girls look lovely in them!!! xx
- CommentAuthorKesha
my dress is £30 to alter. Im not sure about bridesmaids dresses, as the price we paid included alterations. Im guessing it may because of what needs doing? it is pretty expensive, you could try taking it to a tailor instead of a wedding shop as that may be cheaper.

have a look in the phone book for seamstresses and see what they charge. xx

i found an amazing one not far from where i live, shes only charging £8 for her to take out the back panel an inch and put a new popper on the back panel :D it pays toshop around, where as before i spent £50 on getting a hook and eye put on! x

- CommentAuthorGeorge
A hook and eye for £50!! Think I'd betta stitch those back onto the 2 bridesmaids dresses I have as both bridesmaids have literally popped em! They r plannin 2 lose weight. God, an extra £50 on top of what I've already been quoted would just about see me off I think!!
- CommentAuthorJay
if its any easier, ask the bridesmaids to pay for their own alterations, then youve got less stress. thats what im doing, the way we saw it was weve paid for their dresses they can pay for them to fit lol x
- CommentAuthorMrs Buzzlightyear
I am paying £85 for all alterations to my dress - I asked about my bms and she said she would need to see them to give me a price!! well I wont have them till near the wedding so I hope its not too much (I have 8 BMS)

Cant wait for my Tiffany & co, wedding - July 16th 2011
- CommentAuthor~*~ Becca ~*~
surely ur not obligated to go to the shop you bought from to get alterations???? have a look around for independent dressmakers etc x
