Dress Alterations: Average Cost/Time Frame

Hi All!

I am less than 3 months away from my wedding date (5/20/2017) and I have not scheduled my first dress fitting yet. I'm starting to worry about running out of time.

I'm hoping you all could tell me the average cost of your dress alterations. I've attached pictures of the dress (before alterations). I think it will need to be hemmed, taken in, cups added, possible bustle added. The only quote I've gotten so far is $375 for full alterations. I really have no idea what a "good price" is. Any advice would be helpful.

Also, how long do alterations usually take? I'm 78 days away from my wedding (about 11 weeks). Should I get my fitting/alterations done immediately, or do I have some time?

Thank you all so much for your continued support!

Annalise

    My alterations include: Bustle, cutting deeper arm holes, sewing in bra cups, taking in the back and the waist.... $425.00..... they said depending on the alterations I may need 2-5 visits..... So I dropped off my dress last week.... go back at the end of February..... my wedding is April 28th,.....so surely it will be good to go then!

    Hi there! I’m in the Gainesville area. Do you mind telling me where you got your dress altered? I’m doing a little bit of price shopping. 😊

    Hi,

    I know this thread is old, but could you tell me the name of your alterations place? I'm in Atlanta and am looking for someone. Were you happy with their work?


    Thanks!
