I bought my wedding dress at the beginning of the year and had to have it sent back a few times for added support around the bust and shoulders. On the last return I was asked if the length was alright and I [stupidly] said yes without thinking about how I was going to actually walk in the damned thing.
I took my dress to a seamstress who quoted £400 to shorten it [due to the beading and general thickness of the layers]. I can't afford £400 to shorten a dress so I tried a crinoline hoping it would push the material away from my feet. Unfortunately the dress is too heavy and the crinoline is absolutely useless.
I'm really stressing now that I won't be able to move in this dress [or dance] and I don't know what to do. I've messaged the dress maker in the hopes she can do the alteration for me cheaper but it's been months and I'm guessing she is going to say there is not much she can do now.
Has anyone got any advice or anything that could possibly help?
