So far I've spent an arm and a leg on alterations for my wedding dress which included a keyhole made in the back of the dress, and length cut. I paid almost $400 on those two things which to me is ridiculously expensive so I decided not to get my dress bustled at the store (David's Bridal).
While I was getting my dressed pinned for alterations, there was a girl next to me getting her dress pinned for a bustle and I was surprised how sturdy the pins were holding her dress so I thought I'd just bustle the dress myself with safety pins. Has anyone bustled their own dress to save money? My second option is to go to an experienced alteration person that works in a cleaners shop which I know will charge me less than David's Bridal but if I can bustle it myself then I would go that route.
