I have to agree with you...I almost bought my dress at full-price bc I wasn't "vocal" enough but I decided to put my big-girl panties on and spoke with the owner of the bridal salon and asked her if she can do a price match for me...and she said YES!! It saved me $200 and on top of that she is still giving me a free bustle bc my BMs also bought their dresses there. So I think its definitely worth to ask/negotiate before hand on some of these things bc after all they do want your business. But to answer your original question, I think the alteraration costs is a bit steep! I would definitely suggest getting a quote from a seamtress (outside a bridal salon). Is there anyone in your family/friends that can recommend a good one perhaps? Best of luck.

I am lucky enough to have found a bridal shop that includes the alterations (hemming, taking dress in, etc.) and one bustle with their wedding gowns.

 

It is funny because the dress was $50.00 less than everyone in town and they include the alterations. This should save a bundle!
