Brides with Corset back dresses.....

Can you please post a pic of the back of your dress with either you or the model in you dress? When I ordered my dress the woman suggested that I order a larger size so there won't be such a big gap where the corset is. I am jsut concerned b/c the sample dress was big on me as it is and they ordered my dress a size larger than that.

Thanks...

I don't have a corset but you can have the seamstress fill in the gap with fabric so you don't see any skin if you want.

Re: Brides with Corset back dresses.....

i had a flap in my dress so there would be material and not skin showing

Re: Brides with Corset back dresses.....

Is the corset not closing because of your chest? That is one reason why a salon might order a larger size, but if that is not the problem the corset should close properly.

I tried my dress on 2X, the first time they did not tie it right and there was like a 10 inch gap and then someone else came over and did it and the gap was only like 4 inches.

I was told if the corset is not tied right, the entire dress will not fit correctly

Re: Brides with Corset back dresses.....

They had me order mine a little small.

The corset is closing correctly. The bridal salon suggested I order a larger size so the corset is closed more than open. I personally think if some skin is showing, it's sexy. I have attached a pic of what the back of the sample dress looks like on me. Please understand that they ordered a size larger than the one in this pic. I just get worried b/c the more alterations, the more money they charge and there is not cap at my salon. The dress fits fine with my chest. I actually have to have the dress taken in for that. This is why I could not understand why they would order a larger dress. My gf told me to keep in mind that it is a sample dress and that many people try it on, heavy set woman, etc. and it can be stretched out. I guess that sounds right...

I want to thank all the ladies for their help.

Below is a pic of what the back of my dress looks like in the corset area. Does anyone think it looks to wide or should the corset be made smaller?




Here is the front of the dress (sample gown)

Re: Brides with Corset back dresses.....

I think it looks fine. But those boobs need some sun

Re: Brides with Corset back dresses.....

Personally I think the corset is closing fine. You don't want it completely together

Re: Brides with Corset back dresses.....

I plan on using the modesty panel. I don't want ANY skin showing!

Re: Brides with Corset back dresses.....

The dress is all wrinkled, so don't mind that. When I tried on the sample dress it was one size and they told me that the sample dresses get stretched out, so I should order one size up. Also I didn't want the back that opened and that is how you get the gap to be smaller if you order a bigger dress. I hope that helps. My dress fit the right way when it came in.

Re: Brides with Corset back dresses.....

Thank you ladies for all your help! The more I see the dresses with the paneling for the corset, the more I think it is classy and I may have to do this myself. I am going to give the bridal salon a call now and see what they thing as far as the size.

Thank you for all your input.

Re: Brides with Corset back dresses.....

I think that sample dress looked perfect on you.

Re: Brides with Corset back dresses.....

I think the dress looks great on you as is... I don't think you CAN get the corset sides closer together.... any closer, and they'll touch each other and it will look like shoelaces!

I'm always suspicious of the stores ordering big dresses to increase the alteration fees. If it were larger, they'd have to take the whole thing apart basically to recreate what you already have in the smaller size!

My dress (no pix) has a wider opening in the corset than yours, and has a fabric panel in back of it....

Re: Brides with Corset back dresses.....

the only one i have scanned!

my photographer dressed me btw b/c know one could figure it out!
