flat shoes after dress alteration

Hi ladies,

I went to pick up my dress the other day after alterations were done, (5 weeks to go) and the lady has made my dress too short with the shoes i am wearing :-( I went to the fitting with the shoes and she pinned it up to the right length with my shoes on. I tried it on when collected and its just that little bit too short (and the material has been cut so she cant lower it) so now I am going to have to get some flat shoes to wear with it! Can I find any flat shoes though? No. Well yes but not ones i like, I am a size 8 too so I cant wear certain shoes without looking like a clown.

Any ideas of nice flat comfy shoes please? x

    1. I'd be furious and ask them to pay for new shoes (assuming it's too late to replace the dress).

    2. Are you sure it's too short? Mine was deliberately lifted off the ground.

    3. Might you lose a few pounds (many of us do in the run up) that allows the dress to sit slightly lower?

    So basically - the person who did the alterations for your dress did it wrong and it's unfixable? I'm sorry I don't have any useful contribution as to a shoe suggestion, but I would suggest you make some noise about the alteration issue? You must be so frustrated Smiley sad

    So sorry that your alterations have been done incorrectly, I would be furious!

    For the shoes how flat do you need? I have been searching for flat shoes as I have to wear an orthotic insole in my shoes and it is just not worth the agony of going without them for the day.

    I have found these by Perfect VT that come in dyeable satin (approx. £80) or the lace (approx. £60)

    They also have others from the same make Perfect VT that have slightly higher heels.

    Good luck with getting it sorted.

    (I tried to add a picture but I need to work out how to do it!)

    I would kick off about the alterations. But I have also been a bit stroppy on the wedding front this week.

    I couldn't find any shoes that I liked that were flat, so after having yet another rant about how the only pretty shoes are high heeled ones, H2B came up with a genius plan.

    I bought some flat wedding shoes for £20 from BHS and having made sure they fit, I have handed them over to H2B. He is now going to glitz and glam them up making them personalised and I don't get to see them until the morning of the wedding.

    So, I get flat shoes like I wanted, with lots of sparkles, and they're personalised! I'm a happy bunny.
