Changing the fit of an a-line dress

I think it is a do-able alteration. It might not be cheap but it should be do-able. I saw someone make my A-Line dress into a more fitted dress, almost mermaid dress before so i don't see why they could not take out a bunch of fabric and sew it back. There might be a seam somewhere but it would be under the top layer. You never know unless you ask. I would just show the picture and see what they say...

Ha I'm having this same issue. I bought the 9V9665 dress from DB and I think it looks much better fitted. My fitting is Tuesday but I'm going in tomorrow to see if they could alter it and how much it would be. .. Do you have a slip on underneath?

I had an A-line dress and my seamstress altered it into more trumpet-looking. She took my dress in the whole way down and then took it quite a bit below my hips. My alterations were $200 all together and i also got a bustle.

I'm mobile so I can't post pics, but let me see if I can link to my posts about my alterations.

Hope this helps!

That's a beautiful dress. If you'd be happy with taking some of the tulle out, that would probably be an easy alteration, but if it will be anything more complicated, you're basically talking about redesigning the whole dress! Depending on how much you paid for the dress, it might be cheaper to just buy another dress.
