Bad dress alterations

I got my dress altered by a lady I have known for 5 years and she makes Wedding dresses and owes a wedding dress store. So I thought perfect it will be amazing. She had my dress for 2 months and we did 12-15 fittings to make sure everything fit perfectly since I did loose some weight. Last week was my last dress fitting and the top falls down now they took the boning out. The heart shape top is not right at all one boob is smaller than the other one, the skit on the bottom is ripped up and isn’t even.

So I took it to another alteration place and she actually got the dress to stay up and everything and put new bone it is. But it’s not the original looking dress anymore. And I just don’t know what to do. I do have a back up dress just need to buy it but we all know we are all pinching pennies at this time. So idk what to do at all Smiley sad

    I'm so sorry this happened to you. This is my biggest fear too. Can you take it to others and show how the dress originally looked? I really do hope you get the dress looking like it used to. But this is just awful.

    Hey Danelle!! I’m so sorry that this has happened to you, especially so close to your wedding.

    I’m happy that you have gotten another dress that you think is beautiful and that you will feel beautiful on your wedding day. What is your new dress like?
