Wedding Dress Transformation

Jessica, on March 1, 2021 at 10:21 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 2 23

For those of you who haven't gotten alterations yet, are waiting on yours, or are having anxiety before your final try-on, I want to show progress photos of my dress.

I had my final fitting this past weekend and I was so anxious about it not fitting well since the last try on when my dress bunched in weird areas.

I put full trust in the seamstress and she did an incredible job. I went from having a belly to not having a belly, all thanks to amazing tailoring. I didn't lose much weight in between fittings. My dress changed A LOT since I first chose it, but I absolutely love it and can't wait to wear it on our big day!

Please note, I decided against the belt as I felt it took away from the incredible handmade lace.

First photo is from July 2020 when I first selected the gown. It's the Pronovias "Princia" in ivory.

    Thanks, Connie! YES, exactly what we thought! I think the shop was just pushing the belt to make another extra 100. I think more brides should be aware of these tactics.

    As soon as I met the seamstress, I felt really comfortable with her. I could tell she had years of experience in this. I think if you meet the seamstress and you don't feel right about it, it's best to take it elsewhere.

    Right? My mom and I took it off in the fitting room and decided that it actually made the dress look richer by taking it out.

    Totally! I'm naturally pretty anxious as it is, so of course I lost sleep over my final fitting. I put all my trust in my seamstress, let her know all of my concerns and let her do her magic. I think the best way to go about it is to raise any flags, no matter how big or small. It's the most important dress of your life!
