Alterations Pricing
Competitive pricing
Here is a snapshot of my prices.
Final pricing is evaluated on a project by project bases, but here is what people typically spend.
I guarantee my work, this ensures that, if there are any adjustments needed once you try on with me again, I will do those free of charge. Final payment for alterations is due at pick up for the remaining balance. I prefer cash payments but if that is not possible I do take Zelle or Venmo as well.
Final price is dependent on each project.
Bridal Gown
Bodice ...................................................... $100-$300
The fit around your bust waist and hips of the dress.
Add Corset .............................................. $100-$200
Replacing the zipper with a corset on your gown.

Adjusting the fit of straps or sleeves. Creating custom sleeves or straps will have additional charge.

Shortening the length of the front of your gown. Train removal is a separate and additional charge, often 1.5x the front hem price.
