Q. How are charges/pricing figured on gowns?
.
Answer
.
Alterations/adjustments to these gowns take time and many skill sets.
Estimating cost can not always be judged on that first fitting because…
Today’s fabrics and dress designs change every year. The techniques used by manufactures
when applying embelishments (beading, appliques, sequins, lace) on various fabrics
(chiffon, tulle, organza, power mesh, bra mesh) not only require knowledge of gown
construction, but also require a creative/trained eye in dealing with body inperfections while
striving to maintain the integrity of the gown.
Minimum costs average between $250 - $350
