So I went for my first dress fitting

Original post by SummerBride10

and I ended up in tears on the way home.

I love my dress. Its beautiful. But it doesnt look the same as when I first tried it on. FIrst of all, when I tried it on there wasnt a drop waist. But that doesnt bother me so much. Right around my hips....the dress material PUFFS out. It make me look bloated.

The seamstress kept telling me thats the way the dress is. She also said it was going to look different than the sample because the sample was a 16 and my dress is a 4. So when I tried it on, I didnt get the full effect.

So I scuked it up. Then on the way home, as I was looking at the pics I started crying hysterically. because I dont like it- its not what I want! My mom and grandma said I look great..but I dont feel great. I feel like this one part is unflattering. Esp. when you look at it from the side angle you can tell its there.

So I called them to say I was looking at my pics and I'm not happy...I want this one part changed. The woman said it might be the slip..or it could be b/c its a different size). I'm going back Wed. 'to see what they can do'

I hope they can alter this...it makes me cry. A good seamstress should be able to 'flatten out' the puff right?

Here's the dress I tried on:







These are from my fitting:





From this angle- you can very clearly see how it puffs out:




Part of me feelings like I'm being a drama queen....its just one part of the dress. But I was crying for over an hour last night over it. I'm just not happy. I hope the seamstress can change it.

No matter what you'll be a pretty bride, but you also need to feel your best in your dress. Hopefully they can fix it and if not then do whatever you have to do to make sure you are gonna like what you see on your wedding day. Good luck

you look beautiful - yes they need to fix that portion if you are not happy with it.
Try not to stress it I'm sure they can fix what you do not like. Hang in there!
