Dress Alterations

Well, I finally took me dress in to start the alterations.  I'm using Hayley Lauren Couture here in Tallahassee.  She said it should be ready in two weeks, so I can come in for my second fitting.  I'm going to try and schedule it on the same day as my hair trial so I can see how the two work together. 

It was so nice being in my dress again.  It's going to be so gorgeous.  Sorry, I didn't take any pictures, but I love the way it looks.  I'm even debating on not having a sash.  I'm thinking it might take away from the dress.  I need to make that decision soon though.

I'm getting the bust taken in, a hem, and a bustle done on my dress and it's coming to $140.  Not bad considering everywhere else was quoting me over $200.  Still, it makes me cringe that my alterations are costing half of what the dress is.

How much were your alterations and what is getting done?
