Wedding dress fittings

I would definitely ask! The shop I bought my dress from wanted an extra £200 for alterations so you don’t want a nasty shock when you collect the dress! I decided to find my own seamstress and I am using someone more local who does alterations from home and it’s costing £100 so big saving!

View quoted message Thanks Jade. I find it so cheeky of them to just book me in and not say anything about cost at all! Will definitely check x

View quoted message Like you said it may be they didn’t mention cost because it’s included but better to ask and be sure!

I would ask, I have just bought my dress from a family run business and they are holding onto it with the idea their seamstress is altering it closer to my wedding date. They did give me a pricelist and a rough costing for it however there is no obligation and I can take my dress away to someone else if I choose x

View quoted message Thanks. Sounds like I definitely need to call them on Monday and ask x

Yes definitely call them and check , if it’s not included it will be more expensive than finding your own seamstress

View quoted message Thanks will do x

Yes, I would have thought you will have to pay for the alterations and not great of them to not tell you. The place I got mine gave me a quote for the alterations when I bought it and included it in the overall price. Have you had a look at your invoice to see whether they have already included it?

View quoted message Yep, invoice definitely doesn’t include any extra cost for alterations. My cousin and bridesmaid came with me and they assumed it was all part of the deal too as they also found it strange that they never mentioned anything. I am just setting aside money now as ready to pay quite a bit for it. Unfortunately, as a new resident in Ayr, Scotland I don’t know anyone local I can trust with my wedding dress so I’m thinking I will just fork out whatever they want 🤷🏻‍♀️
