To alter or not to alter?

Ashley , on May 9, 2018 at 2:05 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 17
The question is, should I alter the dress at the top and add fabric to make the chest less.. chesty 😂 I ordered extra lace as well, but in this pic it’s a size 6 and I ordered an 8. So it’s a little smaller than the one I bought.

    Oh I love your dress! Is that a Watters?
    I would wait for it to come in and see how the 8 fits you. They could always add a little piece of illusion net across the V. You look beautiful!

    I guess that would depend on how it looks when you get the bigger size in. I mean you look great, but I personally would not be comfortable showing that much skin on my wedding day!

    I love it. I think the “chestiness” of it is great. That was one of my specific instructions from the fH. He wanted to see some T&A. But it all depends on how comfortable u feel.

    Beautiful dress! I would also wait until your dress comes in. I'm also a 6 but had to order an 8 dress. My chest fit perfect. I needed to have the sides & butt taken in. I'm sure whatever you decide to do, you'll look beautiful in the dress!

    I love it! I added more fabric to mine because I felt like I was showing too much. My sister told me it’s my day and If I want to show the girls off I can. My father would have had a fit so I decided more fabric. I’d say it’s whatever you want and what makes you comfortable! It’s your day!

    That’s really pretty on you! I love it. If you’re not comfortable with how low it cuts, I would have a piece of tulle added probably. Or if the lace you got is the same as your dress’s lace, definitely see how it looks. When you go for alterations, have them show you what your options are!

    I personally like the look of your dress the way it is. Beautiful. I wouldn't change it, but that is my. The dress looks absolutely lovely on you as it is.

    Ooh I love the color! I love it just the way it is. I’ve actually been looking at dresses with that neckline.

    Wow! I love this dress! Smiley love I don't think I'd change a thing!

    Definitely remember to have good posture on your wedding day though! My dress was pretty low-cut but fine while I was standing, but when I was sitting and slouching it got even more revealing. Smiley surprise

    I think it looks beautiful and whatever you feel more comfortable in! But I was wondering , I am going to add fabric to mine as well but I’m unsure whether to add width to the strap or do an illusion neckline. Does anyone have a photo of theirs altered? Thank you!!
