So I picked up my dress and while it is still absolutely gorgeous I didn't love the way it looked on ME as much as I did the first time. The alterations are done separately so I was able to take the dress with me before I meet with a seamstress. The bust definitely needs to be taken in and it needs to be shortened as well but the bottom of the dress is all English lace. How do they shorten the length on these type of dresses? Do they have to completely take the dress apart (that's terrifying)? Also, I'm really worried that it's not going to look how it did when I first tried it on. I keep going back and forth between the two pictures and stressing over it.
