I think mine were $375, but they could have been $275. My salon charged a flat rate for alterations so we knew before we bought the dress what they would cost.
I wore a Melissa Sweet gown, so it was made to fit my height so we didn''t need to hem it. But the seamstress did an amazing job fitting that gown exactly to my waist and bust, and I absolutely adored my bustle. The gown cost something around $3500, so the alterations were around 10% of the cost. I think it was totally worth it, as I wore a strapless gown and never once had to pull it up during the entire wedding. Talk about fitting like a glove.
