David's Bridal Alterations Price List

David's Bridal Alterations Price List 1
So I know there is a lot of controversy over David's Bridal Alterations, and it is impossible to get current pricing online so I thought I'd share from my fitting today. I have to say, I've found David's Bridal to be amazing in all of my interactions with them so far. Buying my dress, buying my underpinnings, and now my alterations. I will admit I have not received the dress back yet, but I will update when I do. All the staff was friendly and enthusiastic about helping. My alterations specialist really listened to what I wanted and gave me feedback on what was possible given the construction of my dress. She also told me every step of the way how.mich an alteration I wanted cost, and went above and beyond to try and help keep costs down where possible. THAT SAID.... It is not cheap. My alterations came to a little over $500 for shoulder adjustments, taking in the bodice, attaching a belt, hemming front petticoats, and a French underbustle. I know it's expensive but so was my dress, and my mother and I felt more comfortable taking it where I purchased it because they Know that dress. Also, my dress is just gorgeous layers and layers of lace and beading details, so the alterations, which are extensive, are also comolicated. For us, it was worth it at this point. And I feel confident in them and I was so happy with the process. I will update when we have the dress back with results. David's Bridal Alterations Price List 2

    Just make sure you try it on before you take it home. I had a lot of issues with my alterations lady - she drove me crazy and only half did the hemming the first time. It was difficult to get them to fix it too. I think it varies by DB, but be on your guard. I thought they were great too up until my alterations lady implied I needed to lose weight three weeks before my wedding.


    Your dress is stunning though!! I love the lace. Hopefully they do right by you.

    Thanks for sharing that. I was just looking into the prices. I have an appt set but was starting to consider calling a local seamstress. It kinda seems crazy to me that I’m looking at paying more for alterations than I did for my dress itself.

    Oh those implications are just horrible. Certainly not helpful at all.

    You look gorgeous in that dress! Such a lovely design!
    I got my dress from a DB in Pennsylvania, and my seamstress was fantastic. I fear I may need to bring it again right before our new postponed date (10/4/20) depending on what summer brings with weight loss or gain. I’m trying to maintain now since my dress fits perfectly after the first two fittings and alterations, and I already spent close to $400 on alterations. Don’t really wanna spend that kind of money again!!

    Oh for sure! I have a second fitting scheduled and I will be sure that it is right before we take it home. Thank you for that input, I'm sorry you didn't have a great experience. How rude to say such a thing! I wouldn't be a fan either!

    Yay pretty dresses!

    Yes, the belt is from David's. I loved how the pearls and silver went with the dress, and it gave it a bit of a more finished feel for me. I would say try on a few and see how you feel. I wanted it nipped in at the waist for a more hour-glass fit, so the belt helped that.

    We're getting married in October too! 10-10-2020. I started the alterations early because I know a lot of brides have rescheduled their weddings for fall, and October is the most popular month to get married here in NC (which we did not know prior to choosing our date) so I wanted to be sure if I needed multiple fittings, etc that I wouldn't have to rush it.

    That's my dress, too! Funny how I saw it right after reading "My dress is just gorgeous" - I'd have to agree 😉 It looks great on you! Ordering it in my size and ivory required a special order to arrive as late as Sept, so I hope COVID doesn't interfere! Thanks for the advice!
