The alterations ruined the dress. Who's on the hook?
Bridal alterations routinely cost $300–2,500 in Austin. The seamstress takes a custom dress worth $3,000–10,000 and modifies it. When something goes wrong, it''s unclear who owes what.
- Negligent damage: cutting a panel wrong, burning the fabric, over-tightening a seam until it tears.
- Failure to perform to industry standard: uneven hem, misaligned bustle, puckered seams.
- Failure to meet agreed measurements: dress doesn''t fit on wedding day despite the final fitting.
