Hi everyone, this is my first post! I need some advice, or more so just someone to give me assurance. I bought my Watters Petra gown from BHLDN (
http://www.bhldn.com/shop-sale/petra-gown/productOptionIDS/fbcaeb8b-b90b-4e9a-9313-32da085940dd) and am absolutely in love with it. I found a great seamstress who was recommended to me by a friend. She has already started the alterations for my gown and I've been super impressed by her work so far (had to shorten the shoulder straps and insert bra cups since I wasn't filling in enough, in addition to adding a wrist loop). However, I went in for my second fitting yesterday and noticed that the front of the gown is now about 2.5 inches off the ground. The tops of my shoes are visible. When I went in for my initial fitting my gown was too long, and I was wearing a different pair of heels since I had not yet purchased the one I plan on wearing. My actual shoes came in and I made sure that they were the same height as the shoes I wore to try on my gown. Although she has reassured me that she can fix it, I'm still nervous that the gown won't look as good or that the hem won't be even. Thankfully she saved the 4.5 inches of lace that she cut off, and she intends to sew some of it back to the hem and then reattach the lace applique over it. Has anyone else had any experiences like this where the dress was hemmed too short but was fixed? I'm having a minor freak out right now and my last fitting is supposed to be tomorrow evening. Thanks for listening!
