I bought a Demetrios gown from Macy's in Wayne, NJ late this June. They said 6 mos for it to come in. I ordered a 10 though the girl said I was 5lbs from the 8, bc I was afraid the 8 might cost more to adjust than taking in the 10. I'm tall, 5'8.5", but wearing flats, so the hem shouldn't need adjusted. I will get the French bustle and the dress's thin straps removed, the straight bustline made into a sweetheart neckline, as well as the waist, hips, and bust taken in to make it close to the sz8 she recommended. However, I forgot to ask for an estimate for these alterations!
Has anyone here bought their dress at Macy's? If so, what did they charge you to alter it? Did they do a good job/does Macy's have good standards? I see posts saying to avoid bridal salon alterations in general, but am afraid to go to just any seamstress; at least if Macy's messes it up they owe me another dress.
