Has anyone added sleeves to their Davids Bridal wedding dress?

I'm adding sleeves to a strapless ball gown from David's, but not doing it there.

I am adding unattached sleeves. No shops would do it . I finally found a seamstress onboard with what I want. Bare shoulders with while covering upper arms. Basically elastic with fabric made into a ruffle bell shape about 5 inches long.

Do you mind telling me why you are not doing it there? I am on the fence about getting my alterations there to begin with because I have heard horror stories, but none from the DB where I bought my dress.

I'm going to add sleeves to my ballgown but not at DB.

I had sleeves added to my DB dress but didn’t have them done there. I had 3/4 sleeves added and didn’t like any of the options DB had to offer, they were about $30 cheaper than the ones I saw samples of at DB. This is the only picture I have so far but I had lace on the end too.

You and your dress are gorgeous. Thank you for sharing!

My sister had sleeves added to her dress at David's. They did a beautiful job, but my mom told me they were super expensive and she would pick another seamstress next time just due to the price. I plan on having my David's dress altered somewhere else, but my alterations will be simple, no sleeves.

Do you have a picture of your sister's dress? I am looking at potentially using another seamstress; when my dress comes in I plan to get a few quotes and check reviews.

I can't find a picture to share, sorry!

I plan on having drop sleeves added to mine, and since DB is 3 hours from me,I'm having a local seamstress do it,

I'm planning on having sleeves added to mine but, I've heard DB's alterations are expensive so I will be looking around for someone else to do my alterations.
