I didn't pay for my alterations, my mom did, but if I remember correctly she charged me about the same for a hem and a bustle.&nbsp;</p> <p>The quality of her work is outstanding and well worth it :)</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/where-to-go-for-the-best-alterations#post-473203 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 11:42:10 +0000 BridalBug 473203@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>I am buying my dress in Philadelphia, where I grew up, but need to have it altered here in Tucson (where I now live and plan to get married).&nbsp; I plan on spending around $5,000 for my dress and I would hate to spend that much only to have it butchered by a seamstress.&nbsp; Any suggestions?&nbsp; I've heard horror stories about Hem and Her, but I don't want to go to some dry cleaner with a tailor in back.&nbsp; Help!</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/casablance-1944-dressbutton-drama#post-463586 Wed, 11 Nov 2009 13:41:45 +0000 bvig 463586@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>@mrs mossman - Thanks!&nbsp; Some people have said they've gotten their straight necklines altered into a sweetheart neckline and it wasn't that expensive. I can only see your reflection a bit in the mirror but the straight neckline looks good.</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/casablance-1944-dressbutton-drama#post-463294 Wed, 11 Nov 2009 12:01:46 +0000 mrs mossman 463294@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Hmm i wish I would have found the 1938! I love the sweatheart neckline. I'm not very busty and it would have enhanced what little I have!</p> <p>@bvig you look gorgeous! I love that veil!</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/wedding-alterations-by-mahtab#post-462052 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 22:13:42 +0000 penguin 462052@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Miss French Bulldog used her and I believe she had a pleasant experience:</p> <p><a href="http://www.weddingbee.com/2009/06/25/paigely-and-me/" rel="nofollow">http://www.weddingbee.com/2009/06/25/paigely-and-me/</a></p> <p>You could PM her and ask her what she paid?</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/wedding-alterations-by-mahtab#post-461980 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 22:02:03 +0000 FutureMrsMorgan 461980@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>i think your getting a deal. the going rate just for hemming in socal is about $400.&nbsp; if youre unsure. shop around.&nbsp; but keep in mind you want the dress back in pristine condition...no need to save $100 in alteration costs only to spend $250 to have it dry cleaned because it came back dirty...</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/wedding-alterations-by-mahtab#post-461963 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 21:59:23 +0000 lawnerd7 461963@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Has anyone been to Mahtab for their dress alterations? I just went and saw her and was quoted a lot more than I had expected and wanted to know if this was normal for others. (About $300.00 for a simple hem and taking in the bust). My dress is simple, no beading or lace, just a little pleating.</p> <p>Thanks!</p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/casablance-1944-dressbutton-drama#post-461632 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 21:04:25 +0000 Miss Stephanie 461632@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>@<em> mrscingle2be - I HATE when sample sizes are too big! :( I'm hoping I don't run into that problem when I go shopping again.&nbsp;</em></p> <p><em>Sweetheart necklines are actually the #1 requirement for my dress. I feel like it's really the only flattering neckline on me.<br /></em></p> http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/casablance-1944-dressbutton-drama#post-461324 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 19:30:44 +0000 mrscingle2be 461324@http://boards.weddingbee.com/ <p>Stephanie - I had on 1938 and really liked it but the sample was HUGE so I couldn't visualize it and I don't think I look good in a sweetheart but it is a beautiful dress!</p>
