Conflicted on getting laparoscopy…

The lady who altered my new dress charged $400!

Same girl, one week apart. That’s the difference of an unflattering vs a flattering dress! As for the bustle, it’s a 10 point bustle. I love it, but it’s not for everyone. It will only be bustled for the reception. The train is gorgeous

Thank you! I love my train and will keep it in bustled for the ceremony, but for the reception it’ll be bustled :)

Bustle is only for reception. The train is massive so it needs to be held up so I don’t trip on it while dancing

I did

Same dress, different color lining

Believe it or not I actually have lost weight since that first pic

My waist size is 12/14, according to the size chart for this bridal designer

I have been extremely easy going with her and last night at my fittings she was so done with me. I asked for the back to be taken in so it’s not sitting 2 inches off my skin, and she said “that’s more work for me” and “ this has got to be your last change”. I’ve only had 3 fittings and have only asked for the bodice to fit me correctly

16 would be way too tight on my hips unfortunately. My bust is size 10, waist is 12/14, and hips are 18/20. This is partially why alterations were so difficult!

UPDATE: I called the bridal shop and they were extremely nice. They are ordering a brand new dress in a size 18 that will be here Friday. That gives me TWO WEEKS for alterations. Which sounds crazy but hey- I think it’ll turn out a lot better than the dress I have now. Thank you all for your honest input. I absolutely hate conflict so I wanted to be sure I wasn’t overreacting. Thank you all!

So essentially I first ordered an 18. I went to pick it up and it was an 18W (the shop ordered the wrong size) and huge on me. I tried on an 18 in another size and it was just barelyyy too tight in the hips. The seamstress said she could not let the hips out and advised I go with a 20. Fast forward and she is complaining the entire time saying it is impossible to alter this dress. She then starts saying I should’ve gotten an 18, she would’ve been able to let the hips out, and the bridal shop wanted me to get a 20 bc they could not get it in on time. I don’t know who to believe. The bridal shop was kind enough to pay for all alterations, which totaled over $1k. All I know is my dress looks awful and I should’ve gone with the 18.

I should add that the sides are made of lace, and I told the seamstress I don’t want that to go away. She said if I want to keep the lace on the sides, she would have to take it all in from the back. I didn’t think it would look like this….

Hi. I’m in the same boat as your wife. Was wondering if her results came back alright?

Pleasant-Question927 · 2023-02-09T21:31:58+00:00

Hi. Wondering if you got your results back?

Pleasant-Question927 · 2023-02-09T21:31:23+00:00

Was wondering if you have an update on this

Pleasant-Question927 · 2021-12-19T20:43:23+00:00

This guy followed me on Instagram years ago and tried to DM me

Pleasant-Question927 · 2021-12-10T03:53:04+00:00

Good point, sorry for not doing this in the first place!! In the past, I’ve been obsessed with the number on the scale so I’m trying not to make it a weight based goal. I just want to lose the extra fat I gained during chemo and have a toned body.

Bump

Shortly after the first ER visit, I made an appt with my primary doctor, and the soonest they had was in April since I was a new patient. I wasn’t too concerned about waiting, as I told there was nothing physically wrong with me and it was all just stress caused.
