2 months out...dress can't be altered

Annette, on May 7, 2017 at 8:12 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 50

Hey everyone! Quick story about the crazing day I had yesterday.

Yesterday I went to my first appointment for alterations at DB. Long story short, the sleeves/ lace at the top is unable to be altered without it still being baggy at the top (I'll attach a picture). The seamstress thought she would be able to fix it, but when she tried, I was unable to lift my arms much higher than my waist. After a little melt down, and giving up my old dress, the manager escorted us out to the sales floor to try and find a new dress.

Thank goodness I found an equally gorgeous gown that I absolutely love (even better than the first one!). I felt like a bride! I left with a new dress, and a promise that it will be altered and ready to go by July! Fingers crossed

    That's a bummer about the first dress, but the second one will definitely let you get your boogie on at the reception!! I made sure I could dance in mine before saying yes lol

    Would double sided tape not have worked?
