Context: Alterations typically range from $200 to $800 depending on how much work is needed. Heavily beaded gowns, significant resizing, and custom additions cost more.. Set a full dress budget that includes gown, alterations, undergarments, and accessories instead of budgeting for the dress alone.
A good rule is to reserve roughly 20-35% of dress spend for tailoring and finishing details so there are no late surprises.
