Major Dress Alterations!

I had some major alterations done to the top of my dress!! I liked my dress but didn’t really like the illusion neckline. It didn’t feel flattering on me and the way the sleeves were, I literally couldn’t lift my arms (a problem since my FH is a foot taller than me!) I was to the point where I was...
I had some major alterations done to the top of my dress!! I liked my dress but didn’t really like the illusion neckline. It didn’t feel flattering on me and the way the sleeves were, I literally couldn’t lift my arms (a problem since my FH is a foot taller than me!) I was to the point where I was considering getting a new dress, which I hated bc my grandma found this dress for me and other than the neckline it was perfect. So I had several alteration appointments and this is the result! I love it. It feels more open and free and summery. I love the details of the way it’s cut out now, too. And now it’s unique and no one else has a dress exactly like mine. 😊
Anyways just wanted to share and say if you’re having any dress doubts, sometimes a few alterations are all you need to make it your own and love it again.😊❤️

    I love the new neckline! And the length! Tea length is my favorite!

    I have the same dress too! It's beautiful and I love it, but what you have done with it is incredible! The little cap sleeves are cute but SO constructive. You and your seamstress did an amazing job

    Look amazing! Good for you being bold and stepping out to make the dress what you wanted it to be. That's super brave!

    Beautiful! I actually liked the original neckline but seeing the new version is stunning and looks great!

    Exactly! I loved the cap sleeves but I just wasn’t able to make it work for me. It’s a beautiful dress to begin with though!

    Oh this is beautiful! While the original was gorgeous too I definitely think the alterations make it look better (probably because you look more confident in the alteration picture)!

    It's beautiful!! I did the same type of alterations to my dress and I don't regret it for one second. I had lace up to my neck and got rid of it all and created a sweetheart neckline.
