luvscruising2007 Posted September 22, 2013 #3652 Share Posted September 22, 2013 (edited) Out of curiosity, when you get things altered, what is going price. Do you use someone who just does this work, or do you go to a Tailor? And, what are the usual charges. I know this can vary, but looking for a ball park figure.

Laurie S. Posted September 22, 2013 #3653 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I've only done it a couple times and it varies depending on the style of the dress and the material. The most I've ever paid was $80 and it was a beaded dress. Another dress was $20, because it was a simple sundress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNGALOHA Posted September 22, 2013 #3654 Share Posted September 22, 2013 I've only done it a couple times and it varies depending on the style of the dress and the material. The most I've ever paid was $80 and it was a beaded dress. Another dress was $20, because it was a simple sundress. That is pretty much what I had to pay here in Yuma. The one dress had to taken in on the bust and let out in the hips--$60.00 and the other one was just fixing the back of the dress because the zipper made it too tight-- $20.00. Hope that helps, Gerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magandab Posted September 24, 2013 #3656 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Hello everyone. Here are mine and two my friend's dresses from our Alaska cruise couple of weeks ago. I'm sorry for the bad quality in some, they were taken with SmartPhones in bad lighting. First formal night. Me, then my friends Anouk and Ann. And second formal night. LOVE your dress on the second formal night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in New York over the weekend and did a lot of damage. I max out my platinum Saks credit card :D The dress colour sounds lovely, can't wait to see you in it. I hope you get some sort of bonus points for using the Saks card for that much. Guess it's a good thing that I don't have a Saks store close or the money to spend there. I don't know what I'd do with 14 new pairs of shoes, but then I have a hard time finding one pair that fits my flat feet and are not sky high. I may own 16 pair of various footwear total including snow boots, softball cleats and golf shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
