I had my gown at the shop where I purchased for a little over a year now. I picked it up last week in preparation for setting up my initial alteration appointment. I've been working out like a maniac for the past two years and my concern about my gown was the amount of alterations I would need as a result of my weight loss.
I tried the gown on over the weekend and I did not have to zip it up to get in it. I literally stepped in the dress still zipped and pulled it up. It dropped off of me! There's nothing to hold it up. YAY I guess but BOO too as that means a whole lot of alterations.
I called the seamstress I plan to use and she said come in ASAP. Her fear is that there may be too much alterations needed due to my weight loss and I had the nerve to tell her I am not done. I still plan on losing another 10 lbs by the end of this month.
Anyone else lose a lot of weight and are worried about their gown? My seamstress says there is a possibility that my gown will be ruined if an excessiave amount of alterations is needed.
I worked really hard to get where I am and I feel like I messed up somehow.
Love is the ultimate superpower.
It can make you weak and strong simultaneously.
