Hi so I went to get my wedding dress altered and I was quoted 850 for a hem, taking it in at the sleeves and waist…and adding a bustle. My dress is pictured below. Does this seem accurate? I’ve heard hemming and the bustle are usually the most costly and my dress does have alot of beading and some...

Hi, did you get your alterations done yet? I’m from New England also, in CT, and I just got my dress back on Friday. The seamstress did a beautiful job; took in the top, adjusted the straps, hemmed it and added a bustle for about $390. I know it can be different depending on the dress, but if you’d like a recommendation in the CT area, Irene Rocha in Danbury was wonderful!

That is super expensive. Get a second opinion from an independent seamstress via Google or Instagram. Dry cleaning shops offer alterations so get a quote from them but don’t commit yet until you find someone much lower priced. Even the local fabric stores will have names of seamstresses who will work with you for a fraction of that price with quality work.
