Build your alterations price sheet
Underpriced alterations quietly eat bridal margins. Start from typical market pricing, adjust every line to your shop, and walk away with a sheet you can post.
Your price sheet
Every service you left checked above — plus any you added yourself — becomes a line here. Post it in the fitting area, hand it out at the sale, paste it on your website — printed prices end the awkward haggling.
