How much do alterations cost? There is a minimum charge of $375 per wedding gown for alterations due to high demand and limited appointment times. Alteration cost varies depending on the specific alterations needed, the type of dress, and the intricacy of the fabric. Dresses with lace, embellishments, or multiple layers require extra care and attention, making the process more labor-intensive and involved.

Can you steam my dress once the alterations are complete? I do not offer steaming services at this time. That said, the alterations are always completed with enough time before the wedding to have the dress steamed elsewhere, if desired.
