Dress help!

I think the dress looks beautiful and not exactly sure why you need to get an altered because I think it fits you very well.

I would just continue to call more and more seamstresses. Does the boutique you bought it from have a seamstress? Normally if they sell it, they're willing to alter it.

That dress is gorgeous and fits you well!

Agree with Elizabeth, whoever sold it, should have someone who is able to do alterations. the alterations do look minor so a six week window for them should be good. Late August early September you should be having the alterations done.

Wow I love your dress.

I think you'd be able to get it altered in time if you can do it by august-september or so. maybe they can refer you to someone who would be able to alter it?

Your dress is beautiful. I don't see why any dress would be made with the mindset of it not being able to get altered. If you can find someone who would be willing to alter it, I'm sure you'd get it done in time but it would probably have to be in the next couple months or so. If it's cutting too close and you still haven't found anyone, you can always try selling it on Stillwhite. It's a bridal resale website that I got my dress from. Good luck!

View Quoted Comment Thank you for website. I have an appointment next week for a seamstress that I hope can help me

Ask the boutique for a list of recommended seamstresses in your area. They always have one. Good luck!

No problem! My fingers are crossed for you.

Hi love! i would get a few "second opinions" from other seamstresses near you. i happen to have a qualified and experienced seamstress who is not afraid of any challenge and knows her stuff. one of my dresses was fully beaded top to bottom and had to be completely torn apart (all beading in altered areas had to be removed for her to successfully alter the fabric). after she altered the dress to fit my body, she sewed each bead back on individually. it was definitely a time consuming process and would likely be somewhat expensive depending on the seamstress, but i got lucky as my seamstress is retired and does it on the side now so she only charged $20. most seamstresses will work with you price-wise. however, you will have some options so i definitely would seek opinions from other seamstresses. most of them are qualified and not at all afraid of a challenge as any item of clothing has the potential to be altered. it just requires someone who is qualified to do so, especially where wedding dresses are concerned. you should have plenty of time for alterations if you guys are planning on november. dont be discouraged!!! btw - love the dress! its beautiful. hope that helps 😊

You have plenty of time to get alterations. Where did you buy it? They should be able to help you. It's stunning!!

View Quoted Comment Thanks. I was actually able to call the place I ordered the dress from. They just opened up and I made an appointment with the seamstress next week. I'm hoping she can do it.

View Quoted Comment See. It's all going to work out. Stay positive, stress is no good for your look . 😁

Wow this is an absolutely beautiful dress? Sorry I can’t help, but I hope you don’t mind if I ask you the designer and name of the dress?

I would not wait until May 8, 2021, seriously. Who knows, what could happen next? I decided to do everything this year.

View Quoted Comment I have to look at the dress. It's at my moms house now. But I will let you know.

View Quoted Comment No problem - I completely understand!

Typically bridal salons have seamstress recommendations who they often work with. Check with your salon or any other salon. A good bridal seamstress knows how to alter your dress, since there are many beaded bridal gowns out there.
