Dress Ideas. Help!

So I get married in 5 days and just tried my dress on to see if it matched my jewelry and realized it no longer fits my breast area and my shoulder straps seem tight and cause red irritation after only a couple minutes.

So I get married in 5 days and just tried my dress on to see if it matched my jewelry and realized it no longer fits my breast area and my shoulder straps seem tight and cause red irritation after only a couple minutes. When I tried the dress on it did the same thing to my shoulders and they said the seamstress could add some material underneath to prevent irritation and turns out the seamstress could not do it. She said there is nothing they can do.

Any ideas? I dont want to be red and itchy all day 😫 Also any ideas on how to make the dress fit my breast area better cfb_1423253.jpg

    The first one isn't tape, but it could help:

    I don't know whether I've used these exact items, but I've definitely used products from each brand. I linked to the company websites, but you can also but these kinds of things at CVS/department stores/Amazon.

    Unfortunately I think the only thing you can do is get some type of padded tape for your shoulder and maybe try different under garments. You look beautiful in it my best wishes

    My response maybe a little awkward so firguce me had a li g night if studying...anyway if bust area is loose be sure yiyr "girls" are fitted & adjysted in that area well when adjusted right slack will be fuxed automatically...if still loose run to a Dillards, A Sonoma, or JcPenney tbey cary various type & sizes of strapless holder cups that help take up space...your skin irritation is from the beading and additional naterial made in those areas...seeing the bsck dies make this challenging...can suggest. Utiluze sometjing borrowed see if a relative especially okder who wears scarves

    Sorry hit send to soon...try to find a champagne or white(whichever will correspond with your dress) you something lacey thin as possible and thread it under your sleeves acrossyour back thru to the other sleeve when done right will have a thing barrier between your skin & dress(see pic of what I have to hopefully help you find somewhere 5 days is still goid time to look irs crazy I know but doable...I had hardest time finding a decent band fir my husband ti tbrow on hus finger...yes throw after 3 days of looking discovered a shop right where I biught my fliwers from day before and 2 hours before ceremony...so 5 days is good timing)...After your beautiful day express your deep concerns to all involved with altering your dress...Dress is pretty looking at the pic the sleeves look pretty and detail but usually downfall lil irritation...seek a skin product non greasy tbat you can pyt on as well to help with your skin irritation to minimize best as possible...I'll try to get a name..following is a picture of scarf I have it has fri ges on the ends as well...a possible idea of what to look for...and yes slight downfall your back will be covered

    A seamstress should be able to fix this quickly.

    I took my dress in today and they are going to take 1 strap in a little and add a little length to the other so hopefully this helps and it will be done by Friday morning!
