I recently purchased a wedding dress from a local store that was going out of business. I got the dress at a REALLY good price and for the most part looked like new. Although I got the dress a a good price, there were a few caveats. The dress is extremely TOO big and there is a hole in the bottom...
I recently purchased a wedding dress from a local store that was going out of business. I got the dress at a REALLY good price and for the most part looked like new. Although I got the dress a a good price, there were a few caveats. The dress is extremely TOO big and there is a hole in the bottom right above the trim. Both of these issues seems like an easy fix, right? I have a scheduled appointment with a seamstress on Thursday but I’m second guessing everything. I keep looking at the dress and it seems very simple and doesn’t make a statement. What do you all think? Do you all have any recommendations to jazz the train up a bit?? I want drama... and I’m nervous this dress doesn’t fit the bill. Due to the dress being too big on me, I don’t have any good pictures of me in the dress. The pictures attached are from the designers website.

    Update!!!!! So I went to my appointment and was told that due to the dress being so big, alterations would range from $700 - $1,000. When adding that to the cost of the dress, it would equate to the price of me purchasing a new dress that has what I want.

    I personally think the dress is stunning!! I’d definitely talk to a seamstress to fix your trim at the bottom and pull it in to your perfectness!!! I would think your accessories would help give it the extra glam feeling that you are looking for!!!! I had the same problem with a hole in my dress and now that I’ve been to a seamstress you can’t even tell we’re the hole was!!!! Hope this helps you feel better about your dress!!💕

    Thanks for the response!!! I took it to a seamstress and she told me due to the dress being so big it would cost about $700-$1,000 to fully alter. Since I wasn’t in love with it I went ahead and purchased another dress; one that I actually cried in!!! 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾

    Hi! I don’t like my dress either. The train is so simple! I’m trying to decide if I should keep looking for a dress or try to fix the one I have. Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks! i think i hate my wedding dress 1
