Pricing Guideline

The price for wedding gown alterations varies greatly between dresses and can be influenced by such things as:

  • boning/understructure
  • lining
  • zippers
  • button/loop closure
  • hem finishes including encased linings, horsehair braid, baby or narrow hemming
  • width of fabric at hem
  • beading
  • lace/lace applique
  • cut of fabric (bias vs. straightgrain)
  • crinoline/tulle layers

The Williamsburg Seamster will gladly provide you with a proper estimate upon seeing the dress in person and on you.
