Dress fitting - soooo happy!

Rachel, on February 6, 2022 at 10:12 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 1 25
Hi, Everyone!


Yesterday I finally got to try my gown on after the first wave of alterations and I’m soooo happy with how my dress is fitting now that it’s fitting more according to my body’s shape! When I first tried it on without any alterations, my dress was a TAD too tight in the bottom compared to the sample (I assume because the sample had been true on a lot which caused it to stretch out a little), so my seamstress let out some of the problem areas for a much more comfortable fit! Next, we are going to take in the top part of the bodice as that’s a little loose and add my bustle. My next fitting is April 2nd, I can’t wait! Dress fitting - soooo happy! 1Dress fitting - soooo happy! 2

    Thank you so much, Lisa!!! I’m sooooo relieved that it’s starting to look and feel the same as it did when I tried it on at the salon! Seamstresses know what they’re doing!!

    Seamstress are everything! Mine is this older woman who speaks Russian I have no idea what she is saying but when she starts pinning and fussing with that gown she makes magic happen! Can I ask who is the designer of yours? Our dresses look mildly similar but I have never seen one with that kind of striking detail and the bottom. Just lovely!

    You look so gorgeous in your dress, and it's not even done yet! It will look so fabulous when it is, never mind hair, makeup etc! I'm excited for you.

    I have my final dress fitting this thursday, assuming it goes well and I'm a little bit nervous, so it was lovely to read how happy you are. I hope to take that with me into my appointment Smiley smile

    Thanks so much, Rosie! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I really appreciate that!! Nerves definitely were high a couple of weeks before I went in yesterday since you just never know what the seamstress will do, but I am soooo happy with the results so far! I’m sure yours will go as well as mine if not better since it’s your final one! You’re going to look amazing!!!

    Awww, thank you! Fingers crossed! She also is making my veil which I haven't seen and we're now so very close to the day that if I don't like it, I don't know what we'll do! But I'm sure it will all work out! Smiley smile

    You look beautiful! Smiley heart

    This gives me ease that alterations can truly go well. I take my dress in for the first time this weekend; and I'm nervous!

    Thanks so much!! I was nervous when I first took my dress in, too, since it really didn’t fit me as well as the sample did at the salon… but now that my seamstress has worked magic, it fits me soooo much better! It can be hard to trust them but they definitely know what they’re doing and they have the eye for how things are supposed to look and fit. Yours will be just fine!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
