    Hive,

    How much were alterations on your bridesmaid's dresses? What was done for that price?

    I am trying to determine whether the quote I received for the bridesmaid dresses alterations are reasonable or not.

    Thanks!

    For a friend's wedding she had picked out these pretty Vera Wang dresses for us, but they were maid for 6'5" women with a EEE chest.  Bloomingdales wanted around $300 for alterations (outrageous!).  A good local tailor took the whole dress apart for $55.  My other friend went to her and ha multiple fittings and the dress STILL only cost $55 to alter.

    it was 55 for my bridesmaids. They have a strapless duchess satin dress and had the dress taken in and shortened for 55
