so I went for my first fitting today and am so bummed about the outcome. Granted I got a great deal on the dress (less than $310) b/c I found it on sale, but was told at the time of purchase the alterations I wanted were absolutely possible.I wanted to turn my strapless dress into a sweetheart neckline;... well today the alterations lady told me it would have to be a rouched sweetheart, when I was told it could be smooth. NOT what I pictured at all!!!! Also, wanted to remove some of the satin from the hemline to focus on the lace of the dress. WEll, she told me today I should not do it b/c it would ruin the dress and she refused to do it... After all was said and done my dress excitement bubble was completely burst and it cost me $250 for the freakin' alterations and it wasn't even what I have been anticipating for the last year since I have had the dress...It better turn out fantastic, but right now my hopes are not high. Thx for reading... sorry it is so long...
