Dress alterations

Sort of! I felt really upset and scared because I’ve gained weight but my seamstress made me feel a lot better. Even in a worse case scenario your dress doesn’t fit, they can make it fit! So don’t worry, it’s ok❤️

I totally know the feeling!!!! I dropped my dress of this past Monday to have my straps taken up a few inches and to remove my cups and am so nervous will be wrong when I go to pick it back up!!!

View Quoted Comment The whole time I was getting in the dress, I was thinking oh my god it won’t fit and the zipper will break, I haven’t worked out enough. Everything was going through my mind. I’m not overweight but going from being itty bitty to having more on my body, is different. I’m glad I put on more pounds cause I look healthy. It’s just having this dress made and not trying it on in so long, freaked me out. A lot can change in over a year!


Im sure the seamstress will do a great job on your dress! My seamstress made me feel so good! There were places on my dress by my hips/thighs that bunched weird and when she pinned it, it looked weird. She kept asking how long have I worked out for cause I have such muscular legs and I said 5 days but I have been a dancer my whole life. And After she got all the pins in, the dress looked amazing! I am forever grateful of the kind words she said to me.

View Quoted Comment Exactly! My seamstress made me feel better during the process. It fit perfectly and she still had to pin a couple of spots because they were just a tad too big.

View Quoted Comment Thank you so much!!! And my seamstress is amazing with trying to figure out my vision and making me feel amzing. I also bought my dress a year ago, and have since then put on some weight. So I got to a point where I didn't feel pretty anymore in my dress, and she definitely helped easy my worries and stress!

Mine seemed like it fit pretty well when it was delivered, but then I waited like 4 months before my first fitting appointment and I was worried it wouldn't fit, or I wouldn't like it, etc. My seamstress ended up taking it in at a bunch of places, so fit definitely wasn't an issue, and I loved it just as much as I had remembered. It's definitely stressful though, especially since there can be so much downtime between trying it on.

I just bought my dress last week and this is already something that's crossed my mind! We have about a year and two months before the wedding, which is a lot of time for things to change. I'm so glad I read your feedback ladies, thank you!!
