A: You will likely need AT LEAST a hem and a bustle. In general, most brides in our region wind up spending between $400-$1400 in alterations, which include modifications to the bodice & straps, a hem & bustle.

Alterations are generally more expensive on long-sleeved dresses and gowns with beading. You may also wind up paying more for a gown that needs to be taken in by more than one size, so be sure to discuss any potential in weight fluctuation with your consultant.
