I've picked up my dress from the bridal shop (yay!) and am about to order the bridesmaid dresses (finally - long story) but all will need shortening a little and taking in on the bust. When I phoned the seamstress to get an idea of how long this would take and the cost for the alterations for all 3 (bearing in mind I had been quoted by the bridal shop that alterations for my dress could cost between £50 and £150) they weren't able to give me an indication. I know every dress is different and it is really difficult to quote without seeing them but as time is tight on ordering the bridesmaid dresses I wanted to make sure there was enough time for them to be altered and the cost wouldn't be extortionate.
Could you give me an idea how much your alterations cost and how long they took? Otherwise if its not possible to get the bridesmaid dresses done in time we'll have to look for high street ones I guess. Wedding is end of July this year.
