Alteration disappointment

Breezy, on December 8, 2016 at 8:50 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 36

So... a few weeks ago I went in for alterations and felt really confident how my dress fit after all the pinning.

I picked it up an hour ago and it's significantly tighter. Where she pinned t prior I didn't feel like I was pouring out of it and that's how I feel now.

I payed what ended up half of my dress price for alterations and I'm embarrassed because I feel like I'm shoved into a dress that's now too small for me in the back area. The front looks perfect.

I just feel down. Is there anything I can do? Words of encouragement would be great because I'm currently a mess.

I just don't feel like I look good and that the only thing people are going to look at is my back fat.

    This is where they pinned it from my alterations appointment. I haven't gained or lost any weight. It's been just under 3 weeks since this appointment

    I does look much tighter in the first picture you posted. Can you have them let it out a little?

    I don't even know if they can since they cut the dress to tighten it. I have no idea how that works?

    Did you show them these photos before leaving or mention you were unhappy? Perhaps she can let it out?

    Can they let out a dress that's been cut and altered?

    That's a question the seamstress could answer better.

    The front looks so good I didn't realize how tight the back was until I looked at FSILs pictures.

    The front looks amazing but the back does look a bit tight. Bring it to her attention asap!

    I just got off the phone with her and I'm going to take t to her shop next Wednesday so she can let it out. Praying everything works out.

    Are you 100 percent sure it isn't your arm positioning? The first pic looks like your almost arching your back and your arms are bend and in the second picture, you are completely relaxed.

    So glad to hear they're going to let it out a little! You can definitely tell it's tighter, and if you're uncomfortable or stressed about it, then they need to fix it! I hope it works out!!!

    I have the same style dress and was so nervous about back/arm fat. to get the front to lay super flat and tight my alterations lady build in an elastic bra that pulls in the front but did not take in the sides that much to keep the back not tight. May be worth looking into.

    If you're still insecure about the back after getting it let out a bit, you can always add a long veil that can help hide any insecurities!
