It had three layers of tulle that I just cut. It had two layers of satin that were cut serged and hemmed, and one layer of organdy that was cut, serged and hemmed. It took me about 1.5 hours and I charged $85.00. I also had a bride come in and I bustled her dress (one button) while she was in it. It took about 5 minutes, but the try on and undress was about 20 minutes. I charged her $25.00. If it was a triple button I would have charged her $50.00. The dress I am working on right now is about $135.00 and I will lose money as it was too complicated with the replacement of the bead work. So you win some you lose some. Not that I really lose money but I like to make $35.00 an hour on average and I usually do. This is a great skill, I average about $350.00- $500.00 a week, never leave my house, and sew about 4 hours a day and I love it! I am so blessed and lucky.Out My windowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456481267171643227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6809809639444040308.post-12328719085153068532011-08-25T12:19:35.617-07:002011-08-25T12:19:35.617-07:00I wrote "sometime" following the to do o...I wrote "sometime" following the to do on my list.

How long does it take to alter a wedding gown? It seems that you are lightning fast!!!!<br /><br />Don't feel bad about your ignoring "to do" list.
