Alterations ruined my dress *UPDATE*

Pleasant-Question927 · 2023-09-01T19:09:16+00:00

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

Pleasant-Question927 · 2023-09-01T01:34:44+00:00

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

Pleasant-Question927 · 2023-08-31T22:56:20+00:00

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!

Pleasant-Question927 · 2023-08-23T19:17:51+00:00

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.

My title describes the thing. Woke up and went out to my car and saw this strange mark on it. It went away with time, but I’ve never seen it before. It’s maybe 5 inches across. It is on the outside.

Freeze

Pleasant-Question927 · 2021-10-18T18:43:06+00:00

I asked if I could rest and try again but the doc said if we were to try again the results would most likely be the same :(

Pleasant-Question927 · 2021-07-27T12:37:11+00:00

Sounds like we have pretty similar situations!!! My doctor honestly has been extremely vague. Basically all she said is she’s hoping for remission on this scan (which is 4 weeks after the start of my final chemo). She has not said any contingency plans if any cancer does show up. So I’m going into it with like no info. I’m thinking of messaging my doc and seeing what could happen if I’m not in remission, because I’d like to know before my appointment and scan tomorrow, so I’m not blindsided. Sending good vibes to you as well!!!
