So, I'm having my dress custom made. Couldn't really find anything off the rack that fit and that I liked in our price range, so went to a seamstress that came highly recommended. She had a number of 'sample' dresses that I tried on and liked, we discussed a few details that I wanted to change, colors, picked out the lace and so on. Measurements were also taken at that time. I went to see the dress this morning, and although it's not quite to the point where I can try it on...the bodice looks so UGLY on the dress form. I know, that doesn't mean anything, and it's
very likely that the dress form is a different shape than my body, but it was so disconcerting. The neckline was too high or the waistband was too low on the dress form, I couldn't tell exactly which.
The dress will be ready early next week, and she's happy to make any changes that it will need. I'm just worried now, because it looked so terrible on the mannequin.
