Dress Alterations

Kevin, on August 25, 2021 at 7:02 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 6
So I just picked up my dress from the alterations lady and my wedding is in 6 weeks. I don’t like how it fits at and after I got home and tried it on for my mom I had a total breakdown. It’s an all plain satin dress so there is no anything to hide how it fits. It’s really snug mostly in the bust as I am a 34 I bra size so it’s nearly impossible to find anything that fits right regardless. My alterations lady was kinda rude and when pointing out all the areas it didn’t fit right as the neckline not laying flat. A weird underboob crease, she said well just drink some lemon water you’ll be fine and would even listen to my concerns so I just left with the dress. I tried it on with every bra I own and nothing make it’s look right, but it’s not that I have to lose weight or wear spans as nothing will make my bra size go down. I’m just at such a loss if I should take it somewhere else to see what they can do or just accept it looks strange and deal with it. Thanks I’m advance!

    I'm so sorry you feel that way and your alterations woman was so disappointing!

    have you got a photo? I'm sure it's not as bad as you're thinking! 6 weeks should be enough time to have someone else fix it, if it needs it though, since it's just last minute tweaks.

    Take a moment to breathe, then find some good google reviews and find a place!

    I’d definitely go to another place and see what they can do! Most things can be fixed, you just have to find the right seamstress. Don’t settle if you aren’t happy since you deserve to live your dress and feel beautiful

    If you're not happy with the alterations you should definitely find another place. There are so many wonderful seamstresses out there and she was a jerk.

    I would definitely find another seamstress. I would also write a review for the first seamstress so people would know what to expect.
