I just picked up my wedding dress today. I have one slight problem - it is a fit and flare style dress and is pretty snug everywhere. However, right in the front, around my lower stomach (under belly button area) there is a poof of fabric. Is this something that can be altered out? bc if not, it makes me look like I have a lower belly when I don't. I hope it can be fixed :(

Thanks girls.

That's interesting. I bet a good seamstress would know what to do and fix it for you.

I have a fit and flare as well. I would check with alterations to see what they can do. Are you wearing a skip underneath? Sometimes a good slip can fix the problem.

Ok, there is the bulge of fabric around the lower stomach that I am talking about. Keep in mind too, that I am only 4'10 and I am standing on the ground, so there is a lot of dress that is bunching around me. That may be the cause of the problem and once it is hemmed, it may lay properly. :)
