Beaded Bridal Corset
Beaded Bridal Corset
How much should I expect to pay?
I'm going for my first dress fitting soon and when I bought the dress it fit me like a glove. Although I have lost weight it has a corset back so it won't need to be taken in. It only needs about 3 iches taken off the hem. There is some beading at the bottom of the front and it has a beaded train as well (do they hem that as well?). How much should I expect to pay at the bridal salon to just hem my dress? Would it be cheaper if I went to a local seamstress?
I just don't want to end up paying half as much as I paid for the dress. I splurged on the dress and spent way more than I allocated but it was perfect and somehow it boggles my mind that to take some fabric off the bottom will cost almost as much as a whole new dress.
It's important to be comfortable with the place you will get the alterations done, so if you've heard good things about the bridal shop, have it done there. Or get a referral for a local seamstress that is reputable.
It will cost you more to have a wedding dress hemmed/altered than a normal dress just because of the care required to do it. Wedding dresses are usually a lot more fabric (because they are big ball gowns) and have delicate fabrics that need special care when altering. Also, if any beading needs to be moved for the hemming or fixed you want an experienced person doing that.
I've been to a few stores and looking at the way the dress samples are treated (dirty, not well cared for, beading loose or missing) and based on how they treat and repair samples, I would not have my dress altered there. But some others stores, the people really seem to know their stuff and the store is immaculate, so you get the feeling the dress and alterations would be safe.
I just found the dress I want, and although it's in the nicest store I've been to, and the ladies are very knowledgeable there, I'm still going to get my mom to do any alterations because she used to make wedding gowns, and I know SHE wouldn't trust anyone else doing it except her. I might not notice a little missing bead after an alteration, but it would drive my mom insane!
Good luck!
