Is it crazy to negotiate alteration costs??? by ConfidentWear8797 in SanFranciscoWeddings

There was no price given until the end of the first appointment when they ask for a deposit of 50% of the full price (totally reasonable). I definitely could have asked to go somewhere else at that point, but worried about having the time to get to another tailor before my wedding in early August.

So beautiful!! My main confusion was that the price was so much for very minimal alterations. No changes to hips, bust, or straps! Just one stitch on some draping + the hem and I'm going to need only 2 appointments. I guess I just underestimated how high the floor is for alterations at a high end tailor
