Wedding dress doesn't looklike it did when i tried it on

Kiyome, on October 26, 2022 at 9:53 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 12
Hey everyone!
I tried my wedding dress on in the store a while back when I said yes to it and absolutely loved it. Part of what sold me was the back looked amazing on me. I tried it on in a size 4. It was pretty tight and I could barely breathe so when they took my measurements I was in between sizes anyway, so they ordered a size 6. Well I had my first couple of alterations appointmeWedding dress doesn't looklike it did when i tried it on 1

nts. I tried it on and of course it was too big on me, so they took it in. Well, now looking at the pictures from what it looks like after they took it in, I don't love it anymore. My back looks extremely stocky and manly and it's not as soft and feminine as when I first tried it on. I'm not sure if it's because of the bustle that we will be adding, but it just doesn't look right... I've already paid like $600 in alterations for all the changes they are making to the dress, including the bustle, the hem, the cups, taking it in, adding darts to the back, and a slit in the front. I don't know what to do. I don't like how the dress looks on me at all in the back☹️

    I would wait to panic until after you see the sleeves- they add a beautiful feminine feel and really soften up the look. Also, in the first pictures your arms were down at your sides, which relaxes the back muscles. In the second pictures, your arms are in front of you and your shoulders are rolled forward. And the bustle definitely narrows the silhouette; where the beautiful train widens the bottom and creates more feminine curve.

    I think it will be great once the sleeves are added. I think the dress looks too different in your eyes without them. You look great btw!!

    Along with the sleeves and train, your hair in worn differently in the alterations picture, showing more of your back. I think that, along with the lack of sleeves and the train, is making the back the focal point in the alterations picture. Like Cece said, those add the feminine touch you feel you are lacking!

    I agree with the above!! I think that the sleeves are part of what creates the feminine look to your back- plus posture and hair will really soften how the back looks overall. I also think the bustle has a lot to do with it. Your dress is a similar shape to mine and the train is part of what creates such a feminine silhouette. So its going to look totally different when bustled!

    I think its just because its missing the sleeves. Once the sleeves are on I dont think you will feel the same way

    I was going to ask where the sleeves were, then saw your comment. I think the sleeves will make the dress look very different, and a backdrop necklace would look amazing with that low back dress.

    It's okay breathe. Your posture is different in the last 2, you have a lot of stress. You've already invested so much, allow them to finish the job. Next time you have an appointment I want you to meditate for 5 minutes before going in, picture how beautiful you'll feel on your wedding day. You have an amazing body, release that tension and remember you are a Queen about to get her crown 🤗. NOW, if you still hate the dress after all is complete start thinking of a plan B.
    Be Blessed Beloved
