“When brides see the price of our gowns, some hesitate—thinking it might be out of reach. But what they may not realize is that many conventional bridal shop dresses come with hundreds (sometimes thousands) in alteration costs just to get the fit right. At Ellenelle, you’re not just getting a beautifully designed, show-stopping gown—you’re getting one created with your measurements in mind. That means fewer surprises, less tailoring, and more value where it actually counts.”
What you get:
A calculator that helps you get a realistic estimate of just how much your conventional store bought dress will cost after alterations.
What is it all about?
At Ellenelle Bridal, we believe your wedding gown should be a joy from shopping through “I do,” not an unexpected expense. Too often, brides choose an off‑the‑rack dress to save on sticker price—only to spend hundreds (or even thousands) more in intricate alterations. That’s why we created the True Dress Cost Calculator: so you can see, when evaluating your budget, the full picture of what your gown will cost.
Our goal is simple: empower you with transparency. When you invest in a made‑to‑measure or custom gown, you avoid the hidden fees of extensive take‑in, let‑out, re‑beading, and more. You get a much better starting point on fit, one‑of‑a‑kind details, and peace of mind. Fun fact, for in person shoppers, we fit the dress to your body with a final fitting and non-local shoppers, we reimburse you up to $200 to use with a local alterations specialist.
