I only paid about $150 for mine. I would go some where else and get a second opinion. Wow, that does seem like an awful lot for alterations. I only paid about $150 for mine.

How scary! I can not believe it was that expensive for alterations! I have never heard of it being that much for basic adjustments. Thankfully you're done with them and don't have to deal with it any more. Enjoy the last bit of time you have before the wedding and don't let the mishaps get to you.

That really makes my blood boil. It's stuff like that that gives the wedding industry a bad name. I've heard of 400-500 for simple alterations but 900!!! And refusing to give an estimate is 100% sketchy. I hope that with this post you have made them loose at least 900 worth of future business. Insane. Oh that is horrible!
