I told you guys my dress alterations went swimmingly, but then I was an *sshole and never actually showed you how they turned out. So here is the front of the dress, successfully altered.
Those boobs are NOT MINE. Bra cups=cheap breast augmentation. I have nothing up front, so I emphasized the back. Work with what you have.
The bustle was hanging just a bit crooked, so she's fixing that and adding an additional hook and eye closure at the bottom of the "v" on the back.
Oh I love this dress so much...it's amazing what different mind set well-done alterations can put you in! I am pretty straight up and down kind of girl...barely an A cup, and it wasn't until the past 2 years or so that my hips have broadened a bit. Part of the reason I loved this dress so much when I bought it is the shape it gives me. I feel like I have an hour glass figure in it (even though I don't, it gives the allusion of one). It makes me feel...dare I say sexy? Oh yes, sexy.
Confession: There is a killer looking junk store 1 street over from the dress shop. It's never open every time I go down to get my dress, and I'm not driving 1 hour round trip for a junk store (not one that is unproved, at least. I will drive an hour for a really good junk store). My mom and I rushed through this fitting to get to the junk store before it closed. We're hardcore. That's why there are only 2 pictures...we had junk to sort through!
How did your alterations go? Did they make you fall back in or out of love with your dress?
Good job the tatas look fab
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing! I agree that it’s really important to love your gown, and that’s why I decided last weekend to go ahead and order my dream dress, even though I already own another gown. The new dress is much better suited to my figure, and I feel much more excited. :)

ReplyDeleteAlterations are the bomb! I hated my dress right up until the day before when a friend of Mr B's did the most amazing alterations EVER.
P.s. Totally feeling you on the junk store craziness. We should shop together.

ReplyDeleteyay for bra cups! i had mine sown in too...i have barely there boobies and i felt sooo voluptuous in my dress! :)
ReplyDeleteMmm... hawt. I didn't have to get my dress altered except to get it hemmed. I bought it off the Internet used and got really lucky that the girl was the same size as me but taller.
