| - I brought my wedding dress to Belo Fashions to have a few minor alterations done. 1. cup inserts 2. bustle 3. steam - which came to just under $500. As far as I was concerned, this was very pricey, but the woman said that was the best she could do. When I came back to get it fitted, the cup inserts looked as though they had been pinned in. I asked if the dress was complete, and she said yes they just had to steam it. Basically, anyone taller then me would be able to see the cups as they were not sewn in. So I asked for them to finish that job. I picked the dress up the day before my wedding and brought it to my Maid-of-Honor's house where we hung it and draped it just as they shop instructed. When my bridesmaid that used to work at a bridal shop saw the dress, she steamed it for me, as she did not think that it had been steamed yet (a $250 job that I paid for, btw!).
Throughout my wedding day I had to continue to slip the fabric from the inserts down, as it kept rising above the dress. Then after about 30 minutes of having my bustle pinned (note that there were 2 hooks) 1 hook broke off and the other hook ripped my lace. As a result of the bustle not doing what it was supposed to, my dress dragged throughout the evening and the entire bottom is dark grey of dirt.
DO NOT BRING YOUR WEDDING DRESS HERE! I contacted them right after my wedding, and a month later, I have yet to hear anything.
