First Dress Fitting Today!

ahh wish me luck. Im kinda nervous. I bought my dress at Davids Bridal, but when I called to schedule an alterations consult they didnt have anything open until end of April unless I wanted to take a personal day at work. I tried other DB's and they were even worse...no appointments available at all between now and our wedding (june 4). So im going to a local lady who has her own buisness out of her home.

keeping the fingers crossed she can do it!

    She might be even better than David's! :)
    I went to a well-reviewed local seamstresses after not appreciating how rushed the bridal shop staff seemed- they were also always booked! Good luck! I'm sure you will be very happy!

    thanks ladies!!! it went good and she is able to do the work!! and save me money!! the top of the dress fits me funny and the bra i bought isn't working our right so she told me to get another bra to give me some more "umph" and shes gonna cut it apart and sew it into the dress. Once we get that done shes gonna work on taking it in...so I will have pics then!!!

    David's messed up my friend's dress when they did the alterations, then told her that was the only way they knew how to alter the bodice, so she had to pick out an entirely different dress.  They gave her store credit.

    I don't buy their story about not being able to alter it.  I think an independent seamstress could have done better.  I think you ended up with a way better deal and higher quality.
