Dress Fittings/second Thoughts

Hoping to get some input from brides who have been through fittings/are going through it. I had my first fitting before the pandemic hit. My dress was huge on me but she made the correct alterations and I went in for my second fitting today. The dress still did not fit the way I wanted it - the waist was not defined, other parts were still loose and it was not as flattering as I envisioned. I am relocating to a different city in early July so the dressmaker wanted to get as much done as she could before I left and then I can go back if I need to/don't find a good tailor in my new city but in the midst of all of it we ended up postponing until next summer. I am not sure if my non-excitement is coming from being down about having to postpone, the current fit, or the dress itself. I do not want to go through having to buy another dress and do alterations so I am wondering if any other brides have been in the same boat, especially in the midst of all the craziness that is going on, and what has been helpful for you.
