This chart should give you some idea of your eventual alterations costs. It is not intended to be a "Price List" for gown alterations. There is tremendous variety in the complexity of gown and trim design. We cannot cover every possibility here, so your actual costs may not even fall within these guides. At your first fitting, I will give you a solid quote that will probably fall within the following ranges.
