How to make the Wedding Dress fit for you?

By Miracle Pan


Question: I just saw the perfect wedding dress, but I can't afford the price. I'm thinking on hiring someone to make it, and buying the fabric myself (my aunt told me that I could find cheap and good quality fabric in Los Angeles and since I have to go in one month I want to take advantage of the trip) I just need a little advise from someone who actually knows about fabric and wedding dresses. What kind of fabric does me need and how many yards of it? Thank you very much for your time and help!

My other big problem is my mother wants to use her trusted alterations lady. But growing up, she had another "trusted and cheap" alterations lady who she loved but EVERYTHING I got back from her didn't wear well afterward. This new lady (who owns a shop and does wedding dresses) might be good or might not. I don't know. But I know I don't trust my mom when it comes to an alterations lady now and the thought of someone screwing up my dress and me getting upset with her makes my stomach turn.

Answer: I had a dress taken in 4 sizes before. It wore and looked fine. First look for your own alterations lady. Then tell your mom that you appreciate the offer of her alterations lady but you found one and would like to use that person. Hopefully she will understand!! Congrats on getting married and I hope things work out for you.

They can only take the dress in 2 sizes without ruining the look of the dress. Yes, they should be able to make the dress a halter for you, a good tailor will be able to remove any beading in the way and replace it when done. My friend had her dress altered and the guy did exactly that. She had to have her halter taken up to fit her chest, too.

Probably can be done, but, unless you are having a tailor experienced with bridal gown alterations do it, you would be better off having a tailor at David's Bridal or where you are purchasing the gown from do the alterations. Part of what you have to understand is that when beading or sequins or such is disrupted, there is the potential that the same will become loosened and fall off areas of the garment that were not intended to be affected.
