Hate my dress alterations.

I emailed them last night to see if I could come in Sat with my mom and try it on again before they clean/press it. I'm just not sure what to do or if anything can even be done now to put it back the way it was. I don't even want to wear it now. Has anyone else had similar issues?

Oh yikes that sounds awful! Do you have a picture? If you’re not happy you need to tell the seamstress, as awkward as that may be.

I am so sorry to hear this for you and so close to the wedding. Why did the seamstress even alter the top at all? Did she put cups in it that make you feel like you have the cone shape now? I think it was smart to go back in Saturday.

I just had a terrible experience with my first fitting. Well the back needs to be let out a little but after having my dress on for a little my shoulder both turned bright red and hurt from the cap sleeve. Now I am going back Monday to see if it can be lined with like organza or what my options were.

At the first fitting things were just a blur and she was just going to line the outside of the arm but it's the whole cap. And I ordered body glide to help from what I have read.

Let me see a pic of yours! Here's mine

Back bustled

Not the best photos but, top left is the day I picked up my dress originally. Top right was first fitting about 5 weeks ago with the top pinned. Cups are in the dress with both photos. You can see a little cone action happening but, yesterday it wassooo much worse plus the armpit spillage. Bottom left was also first fitting with top pinned there is a little spillage (I'm plus sized there will always be some and I am ok with that). Bottom right was yesterday. You can see how much further the corset is open and how much more spillsge there is. Didn't even take pictures of the front but, will on Saturday.

I'm so sorry!! Good choice to go back with your mom. Don't be afraid to speak up and let them know exactly what you don't like.

I've had to go in for about 6 fittings now because every time one thing changed, another thing got tighter or didn't look right. They our cups in and I hated how it looked - super fake and we had to keep adjusting it. It's really frustrating but I hope they are able to listen to what you want and make it happen! I feel like they really slack and then as it gets closer they will make it work

It seems like it needs to be let out in the back. I don't get why she would have made that tighter with the first alterations for it bc it doesn't seem from the top that you would need it

I agree it looked better before she changed the top. Good news is it should be reversible. Just ask her to let out what she took in. I had a horrible fitting issue but mine was different the seamstress said there was nothing changed to the top but I KNEW there was because it was wayyy tighter and I had lost weight. Turns out she sewed a layer of my skirt into the inside of the bodice when doing my hem. Don't even ask me how that happened but she apologized profusely when she realized it. Bottom line don't leave until you are happy.

I definitely think you should say something, there is still time for them to fix the dress. I know it sucks saying "you fucked up my dress" but do it. You'll be happy you did once its perfect.
