Wedding Forum - My mother!...

I think most can be altered Hun. It's just harder for some than others particularly if the front is patterned. How too big is it? Xx

It's a beautiful dress btw xx

Could I take it to a bridal shop, despite not having bought it at one?

I wouldn't panic a good seamstress should be able to alter any dress even with the most elaborate patterns and lace up back dress always gives a bit more anyway xx

I could elbow drop my mother, I swear to god....

Yeah Lula, I think that might be an option...

Oh actually *brainfart* theres a bridal/prom dress shop place in Mid! I think I shall venture down there this week, if just to get some advice :)

Tell me about it, I'll just tell her to shaddap in future

On the plus side, she's paid for the dress. Paha

They can be taken in two full dress sizes without making the dress look any different hun, so it will be fine xxx

i don't think theres many brides that can buy a wedding dress and not have any alterations done us women are all different shaped and sizes and wedding dresses are weird sizes at the best of times they leave plenty of seem to take them out and a good seamstress will be able to alter most dresses.

ask at the bridal shops near you if they can recommend anyone lots of shops do have there own in house seamstresses to do alterations but will usually alter other peoples dresses as they are separate to the sell part of the shop. if they wont do it they will know people that can x
