I will need:

Bustle, Add in Cups, and Hem

I hope it won't be more than $500.

I had my straps taken up for $50 and a bustle added for $75, total of $125.
I believe adding cups isn't too expensive, but a hem will definitely depend on how many layers your dress has.

I added a bustle, cups, had it taken in around my waist and thighs, hemmed, and shortened the zipper. I paid slightly under $400.

I spent around $700. I added off the shoulder sleeves, a 5 point bustle, had the waist taken in, hem shortened, and cups added in.

$500 for hem (4 layers), cups added, and having it taken in at the waist (there's boning and lace so it's kind of complicated).
It probably depends on where you live. I'm near Boston.

Oh wow! It costs almost as much as a dress. Thank you for sharing!

Hey I spent 2900 on my dress so that could be why?
