Thirty-three shops here put a price on the appointment itself. Printing it, beside the hour and the guest limit, is the friendliest thing on the page.
Eight bridal shops here publish a figure for what it costs to make a gown fit. At the other 165 it is not on the page, so it is not in your budget either.
Every other supplier is asking whether your date is free. The dress is asking whether it can be made in time.
Most of the venues here will not print a number. Pricing one wedding at a time is a reason to publish a range, not a reason to publish nothing. The ones who publish anyway are doing you a favour.
A bridal shop has two size numbers. Only one of them decides whether the gown does up at the back.
