Bustle cost..... How much for you?

Can anyone help?

Hey date twin :-) ... I'm seeing a lady tomorrow about my dress alterations, but she's also a family friend so her prices won't compare to going to a bridal store. Not sure where you're located, but maybe try going to another place and see what they charge. This way you have different figures.

I would assume the prices vary btwn going to a bridal store (ie RK Bridal, David's Bridal) then going to a place that's not as known and does alterations.

Good luck!

I am paying 25 dollars for my bustle.

I paid $50

I paid $80 bucks. I think it all depends on the dress and how you want your dress to be bustled.

I paid 130 for my bustle and to have my sash seem onto my dress at David's Bridal

$25 for mine! David's was going to charge $150. I got the same exact thing at a small local place!

I got a quote of $40 for a very simple bustle on a non fancy dress. I ended up not getting the dress. The quote and dress was at a local wedding boutique in Rockville, Maryland called Fairytale Brides on a Shoestring Boutique.

$75 for a 10 point bustle. Bought the dress and did alterations at a local bridal shop!

Oh wow.. honestly i didn't realize how cheap a bustle would be. and i say cheap because my bridal shop i got my dress from said alterations vary but could be maybe $500 between a bustle and if it has to be taken in anywhere and things like that. i nearly died hearing $500

Mine was about $90

$85 at david's bridal, 8 buttons total.

Gracie, I am with you on dieing about hearing an alteration cost of $500. I am trying to get sticker shock out of me. These type of discussion is helping.

I paid $65 for the bustle.

My total was like $130 for my 5 point bustle and my flower girl's dress to be hemmed...sooo honestly i couldnt tell you but if i had to guess probably like $75?

Thanks for your input ladies! I was concerned that the price was unreasonable, but it seems to be on the higher end of a pretty common price range......

Mine already had the bustle built in but before we found that out the lady at the bridal boutique told me that the lady she uses charges $5 per bustle point (Charlotte, NC area)

Where I am from we have do many ladies who do alterations out of their home and have great prices. You could still call and check on prices, you may be able to save money or maybe you are getting the deal.

Where are you located Randee? I would love to get an affordable seamstress.
