Help! Fit and Flare alterations question

Briana, on November 17, 2019 at 10:25 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 4

Hello! I have a question regarding fit and flare alterations. I ordered the Allure Bridal 9416 dress. When I tried it on in the shop, it was two sizes too small, but looked amazing on me when it was all clamped. I just got my dress in and it’s big in a lot of places, especially in the hips about 4 inches or so. Because it’s a bigger size, the flare part of my dress is starting lower than when I tried on the sample, right about at my knee instead of a few inches higher around mid-thigh where it should be. I know nothing about alterations or sewing. Does anyone know if the seamstress will be able to raise the flare part of my dress to my mid-thigh where it belongs? I’ll attach a picture of the dress and what it’s supposed to look like. Any help will be appreciated! Help! Fit and Flare alterations question 1

    Yes, they’ll probably remove the flare part, take the length away from the top part of the skirt, then reattach the flare.

    I hope so! It’s got an odd shape at the top seam where the flare meets the dress so I wasn’t sure if they could do that or not.

    So happy I am not the only person that has had this problem. I loved how sample fit me as well but once I got my dress in it was a bit different. Hopefully alterations can make us both love our dresses again!
