A: Alterations costs at Sew In Love By Brand depend on the dress you have chosen and the specific adjustments required to achieve the perfect fit. As a general guideline, we advise our brides to set aside $1000 for alterations. While it is often the case that the actual cost will be less than this amount, having a dedicated budget can alleviate any potential stress and ensure that you are prepared for any necessary alterations to make your dress perfectly tailored to you.

Rush fees are added to any alterations needing to be done in a short amount of time. This is because I work on dresses for months at a time, so adding a dress into an already full schedule requires longer sewing days, often sewing on my days off and into the evenings.
For bridal, you want to start 12 weeks or more before your weeding.
Rush fees begin at 10 weeks or less.
10 weeks = $100
8 weeks = $150
6 weeks = $250
4 weeks = $400
If the 8-12 week timeline is not available, a rush fee will apply in a tiered system.
$300 for less than 6 weeks before the wedding day.
$400 for less than 4 weeks before the wedding day.
$600 for less than 2 weeks before the wedding day.
$1000 for 3 days before the wedding day.
I have brides use these services at every tier.
The most frequent on is the 4 week timeline.
I live in Austin, Texas and my non-rushed ticket averages from $750 - $1000.
