Do I tip the woman who is doing my alterations?

In my experience, tipping your seamstress is not necessary. But if they were truly awesome and you do wish to tip them, anywhere from $20-40 is acceptable. Mine was difficult to communicate with, and the job mediocre, so I did not think to tip her.

Yes ... after trying the dress on and being happy. 20%+.

I tip everyone who provides a service for me. Someone altering the most important gown of my life will get a tip. It would probably be somewhere in the $40 to $60 range.

I tipped mine $50.

Thanks everyone! I will plan to tip!

I never thought about this. I feel like it's not necessary, but now you guys have me second guessing myself!

I never would have thought to tip a seamstress.

I would never have thought to do this

If she does not own the shop, I would tip her

It never even occurred to me to tip her...but she owns her own business and works out of the basement of her house so for that situation I don't think it was necessary.

Never thought about it before. I have a seamstress I have used for several dresses in the past and never tipped but they were $20 jobs. I will budget that in!

I hadn't thought of it either until it frantically popped into my head today! LOL. I was thinking "oh yeah, my alterations bill will need to be paid next month.... oh am I supposed to tip her? I have no idea ahhhhhh wedding wire help!"

Depends on if she is the sole proprietor but nothing wrong with extra $$ if she does a fabulous job!

No.
