My dress has an illusion neckline and it doesn’t sit flat on my chest. The seamstress said it can’t be altered tighter. It also has a very noticeable white thread which is all I can see when I look at it. The way it is shaped also makes me feel like my boobs are saggy.
I was debating having it removed. At first the seamstress said no way and thought it would mess with the structure of the dress but then realized that with the shoulders siting the way they do on me that’s is where the structure truly is. Also if it was structural why would it be so loose?? She said that we would wait until I go for my pick up appointment, which is this coming Thursday when everything is done and see if I still wanted it removed. If so she would remove it for me. Once removed there is no going back so she is still hesitant as am I. I keeping going back and forth on doing it or not.
Have any of you had illusion mesh removed from your dress? Have any thoughts on removing or keeping it? Ways to make it work otherwise?
I bought flash tape (double sided clear body tape) to either try and make the mesh sit flat (not sure how if it’s so loose) or help the lace appliqué pieces on top sit flat if they pop up after removing the mesh.
I will post two photos of the dress with the illusion mesh and then under those the same two photos I photoshopped the mesh out. Also note that my dress lining was just pinned in these photos and not altered yet so it’s not finished and a bit crooked lol.
Thank for you help!
