re dressmakers..how much-is this too expensive?

My dress is a BM dress and I've been quoted £40 for taking it up (normal hemline, no train) and in a bit at the hips but I've been told that could change when she sees the dress at the end of the month, so given the train that price doesn't surprise me although I'm surprised she won't give you a discount for 6... Has the work already been done or can you try elsewhere? I found my seamstress via gumtree if thats any help!

Is it £60 in total or £60 per dress? To get my bridal gown altered the lady was charging £30 per hour.

The woman that im using is charging me £30 for taking my dress up she was reccommended by the bridal shop i got my dress from , my dress is a big princess dress with a few layers .

Im sure your in manchester arent you ? The woman is in Radcliffe Bury.

I think it sounds fairly reasonable - it sounds like there is a fair bit of work to be done on them. My BM dress alterations are going to be £30-45 per dress (they are prom dress style, just below knee length), that's to adjust the hems and take them in slightly on the bust and waist where needed.

Thanks all-yes burke 2 be, I'm in manchester but in the south. I work in central though, so if its no bother would you mind PM-ing me her details?

Thanks again

Hi donna, it does sound very expensive. we use 15 dressmakes in our area. none of them charge more than £30 a b/m. the more beadson a dress, the more expensive it is, as its more work, but your dresses have no beads, so should be even less. as an idea, for a plain b/m dress. to take in or let out side seams is £10, to take up a hem £10
