Altering the shape of my wedding dress

Taylor, on March 26, 2024 at 12:34 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 4
Hi everyone! I recently bought my wedding dress and am immediately regretting the shape of it. I feel like the neck line is not flattering for me and I would love for it to be more of a fit and flare. I’ve seen photos of very similar dresses that I love. Do you guys think alterations to the neck line and hips could be possible to make my dress look more like these?Altering the shape of my wedding dress 1

    I think the material to flare out the dress would be difficult to match but you could probably have lace godets added from midway down the thighs. Maybe that process could be done without difficulty.

    I was hoping other people would add some ideas here. However, it is a challenge to modify a dress into a new style. Check some seamstresses to see if they have an idea how to modify your dress. Find out if the changes are reasonably priced. But, in reality, you will do well with what you have or, perhaps, consider a few minor changes if needed.

    Another idea could be considered is of wearing an overskirt, at least for the ceremony. However, that can still cost a bit of money, but it would let you have a change of looks for the reception. Did you also have a concept for your neckline? It was not obvious what your concern is with the neckline

    That one is almost exactly the same as the others! I love it! It’s a big purchase it’s normal to feel like that. The neckline with the little bit of sparkle is so original I would keep it.
