I'd like to know how much it would cost to shorten a train?

The cost of alterations is dependant on the fabric, if lace edged and layers in the dress.

Most of the time we bustle-up but if you want a short train then it can be shortended to the lengh you want.

Cost is beteen $ 200 - 500 as a guess-timate (estimate).

Hope we can assist further.

Happy to help if you near our area.  Depends if your train has lace on the edge or is a plain fabric.  We tend to do a French Bustle on the gowns we work with as we find it is better for lots of styles.  Also looks at how many layers are on your gown and fabrics and some can be quite fiddly.

Hope this helps you in sourcing the right dressmaker for your requirements.

Hello,

It all depends on where you go for this to happen, some alteration places charge alot other not too much. You should do som research and get some quotes from dressmakers or alteration companies. There could be issues or problems that might cost more foe example the material could cause the price to be higher if there is alot of fiddle work to be done.

I hope this helps.
