Dress Alterations - Check!

Samantha, on August 3, 2019 at 9:17 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 4
Went in to get my dress alterations. I ordered 2 sizes smaller than measurements and I’m happy to say I’ve lost an additional -20# since first trying it on and my dress fit like a dream! It also looked better than I even imagined and remembered it!

I only needed a slight hem on the bottom, belt sewn in and I skipped a bustle because I hear so much about them breaking and the dress has a loop that I can hold. It also has some boning and cups already structured in the top so I didn’t need cups added. I can’t wait to get it back and wear it on my wedding day!!!! In 19 days!!!! Alterations also cost half the fortune I expected and she only charged me $180. If you’re in Philly I recommend La Differance.

Also got a new garment bag to conceal it better as we travel to our destination. It arrived today after ordering it from Etsy only yesterday, which I think is the fastest Etsy shipping ever.
