    Lucky girl! My alterations were about $500! But I had quite a bit done to my dress.

    ETA: my dress was a little under $1000.

    My dress was $1400, but I bought the floor sample (it was brand new and came in 2 days before, I was the first to try it on and it fit great!) so they gave it to me for $1100 with a veil. I had it shortened, bustled, and the top taken in a smidge by the seamstress at the dress shop. $195 for alterations!!! I was shocked at how low the price was!

    Dress was $1200 alterations $350 but I need an extra fitting because I lost weight and she won't do it until 3 weeks before the wedding so I don't know if it'll end up being more or not

    Dress regret here. I bought a dress at DB. Then DIL and family talked me into wearing her dress that she rejected. I spent $350 on alterations. Had my own regret and went back to my original dress. Now I have an appt for alterations next week. Fully expecting another $100 plus in alterations although all my dress needs is hemming.
