How much to charge to alter wedding dresses?

[elliedragon]

I have been asked to alter wedding dresses/bridemaids dresses and have absolutely how much to charge. Dressmaking has only ever been a hobby for me so I have never needed to know. Any ideas?

The shop where we are looking at Bridesmaid dresses, have charged between £15-£35 for each area that needs altering, ie hem, straps, taking in etc. Whereabouts are you?

In the south east. Thank you for your comments. I dont know where to start.

Hope that helps you then. You could always ring a wedding dress shop and ask what they charge?
