Dress Doesn't Zip!!!! FREAKING OUT!!!

Lauren, on April 14, 2012 at 10:12 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 10

So I went to my second dress sitting yesterday! My dress had to be taken up nearly 8 inches in length and i also needed to be taken in in the top; however, the bodice and waist fit perfectly! So yesterday when I got to the fitting I put on the dress. The length was perfect but I couldn't get it to zip past the middle of my back. Instead of taking up just the top. She took three inches out of the whole bodice. Needless to say I am seriously freaked out! She says that she can fix it, but I am worried. I haven't been concerned out this but now we are less than 2 month out and I am worried.

    I hope all works out. I am freaking out because I have put on about 10 pounds since buying my dress. It still fits but it fits to where I feel like I can't breathe. Hard core Zumba going on until I loose the 10 pounds. Best of Luck!

    There is plenty of time, I think if she was able to take it in she'll be able to let it out again. I know easier said than done but try to relax and not worry about it until your next fitting Smiley smile

    Don't freak out yet. If she says she can fix it, then she'll fix it. That's also why you do multiple fittings early :-)

    It'll be ok. She can fix it. Just keep an eye on your weight for the next 2 months...don't let it go up or down.

    If you were freaking out (and rightfully so) imagine how she was probably also freaking out (at least I would hope she did). Don't worry, she will get it fixed for you and all will be well.

    Was it a private seamstress, or a bridal salon? If it was a salon, I'd have htem get you a new dress- ASAP! At no cost to you.

    This seamstress majorly screwed up, and I mean majorly. She took the dress in 3 inches- that's like 2 sizes. That can't be fixed without it showing. I'd give her 3 days for you see if FIXED- or she pays for a new dress on a rush order.

    Not sure what your dress looks like, another option could be adding a corset back.

    The part that I am concerned about is that the top is majorly beaded. While I am confident that she can get it to fit, I am not sure that it will be as beautiful as it was before.

    @Meghan B.-This is a private seamstress. The bridal store I bought the dress at was going out of business so I had to find someone myself to fix it. The seamstress has fitted some of my friends dresses and they turned out beautiful. I asked her to be honest with me initially and if she couldn't do it I would find someone else. She said she could do it and she says that she can fix it now, but i have lost my confidence. If she can't fix it, I am really gonna be in a crunch.
