Wedding Dress stress!

I'm 5'3" and my dress needs quite a bit off. They don't see it as a problem. Did you ask why they ordered the longest length?

Thanks, hopefully mine won't be a problem too.

No, was all a bit chaotic. I turned up this afternoon with my wedding shoes etc thinking I would be trying the dress on to make sure it was ok. Turns out the shop are moving locations in the next couple of weeks and were bagging up dresses etc. She just quickly showed me the dress still in its cover, told me to take it home as she didnt want to move it to the new store, and gave me the number of a seamstress as theirs has just left after 12 years! Wasn't until I got home that we realised how ridiculously long it was, I sent them an email as shop shut for the day, and will be phoning them first thing in the morning.

I would definately ring and ask them for an explanation. I'm sure it will be ok but would ask.

Oh dear, they've not treated you very well at all! I think they've mucked up but an experienced seamstress should be able to fix it without sacrificing the details.

I'd try and get a hold of the seamstress asap and see how much work is involved as you might need a little extra time for the work to be completed. Try not to worry too much, there are plenty of people who need their wedding dress taken up.

Thanks, I spoke to the bridal shop this morning. Apparently they always order the same size as the sample you try on, and are only concerned about someone height if they are too tall. I was told not to panic and the seamstress is going to see me sooner, so feeling a bit happier now!

It sounds strange it comes in 3 lengths as mine came stabdard. They didn't even check my height but my dress is ridiculously long. I would speak to the seamstress although I would be peeved the shop gave you your dress so they didn't have to transport it!

I'm 5'1 too and my dress is also too long. I think it isn't too much of a problem for a seamstress to take up. Plenty of my short friends have had the same issue. My dress also comes 3 inches shorter but tbh, I still think it would need taking up! Just make sure your seamstress has enough time to do the alterations.
