I seriously regret buying a dress online on impulse. They had a sample sale and it was the last one. I really liked the poufy outer shell to easily transition from a princessy, cloak-like outer shell that can be taken off to reveal a shorter high-low dress I will easily be able to dance in during our reception.
It just came in today. I’m happy with the outer dress, but after trying on the dress underneath, I’m a little disappointed. The cups don’t hold my tatas and just lazily cover them, and they’re very stark against the rest of the mesh on the top half of the dress. I also have a long torso, and the waist hits at least 2 inches higher than I think it needs to be, and I’m not sure how alterations could fix this. I also want to cut the neckline and lower it a little, and cut out the clasp on the back. AND I want to fill in the mesh so the cups don’t look like they were lazily slapped in there, and perhaps some sort of tightening so my boobs have a bit more support.
What do you think?
With the outer shell on, I think it looks great. I could try to sell the dress underneath and find another to go with it, it just wouldn’t have the clasp that attaches the sleeves to the underdress sleeves.
But is it possible to salvage it? Is it worth attempting this much alteration? And in your experience, are these alterations even possible?
