Schaffer's is a stock store so if you're a small size, prepare to spend all your money on the alterations. I was so incredibly lucky and found a discontinued Maggie Sottero gown (originally $1700) on sale for $99. Add more luck when it was a size 8 and fit my body very well. It's $185 to hem and $185 to bustle which they admit can be high compared to other tailors, but for the quality and price of my dress, I went with them for the tailoring. The entire staff is so professional, from the reception desk to the sales staff to the seamstress. Excellent work.
