Wedding dress has arrived & is unflattering

Having found out myself how just small differences in a dress can make you feel about yourself, I'm right with you ☹️

Are the alterations lumped in with the price, have you paid for them etc? If not, look around for a local seamstress and get the dress to her. I used a local lady to lat the dress out 2 inches on my hips, and take in half an inch each side on the bust. Amazing difference. And cost me £15. Did it in a week, despite already having 2 weeding dresses and all sorts of other bits to work on.

Sounds like trying to get the shop to sort it out will just add to your stress. Good luck xx

I agree that it had fit how you want it to fit not how they think it should fit. Lots of people have changes to dresses made too. If you want some alterations the then have them. Whether it's the by the shop (if pice include it they should definitely be doing it) or whether it's the by someone else. It's surprising how quickly a good seamstress can get the job done. If you let us know where you are then perhaps people can suggest someone near to you. I'm sure a seamstress can make you love your dress. Good luck x

I was just trying to convince myself in the shop & probs wasn't specific enough.

It was only after leaving I remembered the smaller size fitted on waist & hips.

i have called the shop & they're squeezing me in for another fitting this week. Phew!
