I had my first dress fitting last week at Paradise Bridal. I had not seen my dress since I last purchase it in June & I was so excited. That quickly went away when I got there. My mom & SIL came w/me & no one at the store helped me put my dress on! Then the seamstress came in & didnt say a word to me & starts sticking me with a million pins and goes on and on about how I need a strapless padded bra b/c i have no boobs! She was so rude and rushed the whole thing! She made me a 7 pt bustle which now looking at the pics makes me look like I have a huge a**!
I came home & cried. Not only am I stressed about the wedding coming up so quickly, I know have to worry about dealing with rude seamstresses! UGH! I dont know what to do- I want to call & tell them I dont like my bustle & to hold off on it. Is is bad if I request a different seamstress? Help

I would call ASAP and tell them you dont like the bustle. If you wait you may end up paying more money in the long run if they already did the bustle and have to take it out. I would also request a new seamstress if you really are not comfortable with her. Your are spending way to much money to settle for anything

That is awful, I am sorry. You should talk to the manager of the store and def. switch seamstresses.

I think that you def need to be comfortable with yur seamstress and those helping you. My aunt just got her wedding dress there and I am gettting mine from there. I worked with Patti W. You should ask for her- she is very helpful and really great. Maybe she can help things go smoother next time.

I would not hold off... call right away to let them know and ask them to be discreet. Mention that you don't like the way the bustle was looking and you want to explore other options. Make sure she isn't the only seemstress before you request a change. Also... if this stresses you so much, perhaps mention that you'd rather have your own alterations done and you're looking for credit.

This is you wedding, your wedding dress that you are paying them to fix. Don't take any **** have it done your way. The same thing happen to me, I call them and told them I was coming to pick up my dress and was going else were. They changed there tune quick.

It is not bad to request another seamstress, its your dress and your memories, not hers. I had a bad experience with a seamstress as well at princess bridals, luckily I didn't buy my dress there, but I know how you feel, don't worry, just go with your gut feeling and tell them you want someone else :) good luck !

Hi Ladies- So i talked to my mom about it & I am calling first thing today& going to pay off the balance of the dress & go to a seamstress elsewhere! I was only there on Thurs so I cant imagine they did anything to it. Thank you all so much for your advice & loving words
