I bought my dress 3 years ago and was told if i keep it in storage and get a alteration done, I wont be charged to keep it there.
It depends on where you go and what type of alterations need to be made . If you use the store where you purchased your dress, they will over-charge you. If you go to a reliable tailor, it will be cheaper.

My fiance just got her dress in, she bought it online and it only needs some minor alterations. Could she take it to our local DB, or does it have to be a dress she bought from there to get it altered there?

It takes countless years of dreaming, coupled with round after round of shopping trips, to find the perfect wedding gown — and then a mere few hours to virtually destroy it.
From muddy ground during photo shoots, to spilled champagne, to a great-aunt’s hot pink lipstick, a wedding gown takes a beating.
And that’s where Francisco Albergaria, owner of Abrite Quality Cleaners at 181 President Ave. In 30 years of cleaning and preserving wedding gowns, he says there were only two gowns he couldn’t get all the stains out of, and for those two, he didn’t even charge the customer.
“It’s difficult, it takes time,” Albergaria says of the cleaning process. “It takes weeks. Since the fabric is so fragile, you don’t want to wash out all the stains at once. I let the chemicals take their time.”
Once a gown is clean, he lets the customer see it first before he places it in a specially sealed box, to be sure they are satisfied.
