My seamstress flat out told me to not count on losing weight and to buy a dress that fits. I think it was good advice. I ended up losing weight and she was able to take it in. It is easier to make something smaller than to make it bigger. The alterations were beautiful and it was the best possible outcome given what you were working with.

Agreed, I would never want to take that gamble with such an important event and dress. I also don't think it's appropriate for a seamstress to tell someone they have to lose weight in order for them to do something to a dress. Why don't we plan to make the dress look it's best with the body the wearer currently lives in, not one we want to try and force them to have?

For true. As a former wedding photographer, I remember going to photograph a dress fitting after some alterations were made to it and it went horribly. Basically, the bride had already bought the dress she wanted even though it was too small. She vowed to lose weight, and had actually managed to...in the beginning. But she started stress eating again at the end and the dress ended up not fitting. Her matron of honor was mad at people for letting her buy a dress she never fit in the first place.

I ordered my dress in Spain (my husband is Spanish), but I was still living in Kyiv, so I couldn't make last minute alterations, it ended up being a little too big, because I eventually did lose weight. It wasn't too bad, didn't fit like a glove though and it was formfitting so yeah, having access to alterations is important.

Right? All these brides think they are going to lose so much weight so buy it much too smal but with all the stress of arranging a wedding who's going to be able to also be the biggest loser? Plus even if you did drop weight who's to say where on your body it will be so you are going to need alterations anyway so you'd better have more dress to be able to do that.

@@blackwidowspider7940 a good bridal stylist will show you with a measuring tape how the dress should fit and make you aware of the different designers size guide. So one of 3 thing happen. 1. She got cocky because she probably was close to the size of the sample and felt that could size down or go with her extract size instead of going up. Because the dress had been stretched out and she thought she was fine 2. She didn’t listen to us. We measure her she was in between sizes to her to go with bigger size and she didn’t listen . 3 she did everything right got the right size account for little to no give because it looks like satin.

Fantastic, taking it in is always going to be easier than letting it out. Even with the hand beading if she has to take it in she can just move cut it out and move it around like she did on the back. That wouldn't work with taking it out she'd have to do HOURS of more hand beading and in a tight time frame.
