Pricing bridal alterations is one of the most challenging aspects of this profession. Every gown is unique, with countless variables—fabric type, construction methods, and the complexity of alterations—all impacting the time and skill required. Unlike ready-to-wear tailoring, bridal work carries a higher level of risk and responsibility, as these gowns are among the most important and expensive garments a person will ever wear.

This symposium will dive into the nitty-gritty of pricing, helping you structure a pricing strategy that reflects the true effort behind each alteration. Beyond numbers, pricing is about knowing your worth.  Bridal alterations require a rare and highly specialized skill set, and those who master it are in high demand. With so few true experts in this field, supply and demand alone dictate that we can and should charge accordingly.

In this training, we will explore the mindset behind valuing your expertise, setting confident prices, and ensuring that your business thrives while reflecting the level of mastery you bring to every gown.
