Update from fitting - more update
I am a nervous wreck now. When I bought the dress (it was a sample) I had the head of alterations come and look at the dress and assure me that they could make it fit (it was too small). They said it was no problem.
Today we went in for the fitting...she starts telling me that there's no way that they can let it out, there's not enough material. She says she'll put in a corset back...that's fine, I'm not upset by that...but then it comes to the bottom, and that is just too tight by my hips, there's nothing to be done except let it out...but...there's NO seams down there to let anything out!!! She says they are going to do something like a gusset...they add extra material or something...I don't know. She said its going to be a lot of work...now I'm really flipping out. They said before it'd be no problem and it is a problem, but they can fix it...but how can I trust them???? So now I'm gonna spend the next month flipping out until I try it on again...
and OF COURSE, we had the BRILLIANT idea for my mom and I to have our fitting together...my mom was really excited about her dress and she was so happy...that's great and I really am happy that she's happy. But she got upset with me that I killed her good mood because I'm flipping out over my dress!!!! I can't believe she's being so insensitive...she's never been this way. I'm so upset I'm trying to hold back tears at my desk.
Sooo...my next fitting is June 11th, and I feel like there's a decent chance I will walk out of there having to find a whole new dress. I'm gonna lose my mind.
ETA: I called the salon because my mom said she heard 'corset' but it could have been 'gusset'....so the lady tells me that they are taking out the sides and possibly adding a panel of material in case there's not enough...she is telling me that they're going to make it look like it was part of the dress all along, but I just don't see how they're going to make it work...I think I am even more nervous now than I was before.
I'm not gonna be happy until I see the dress...this next month is going to ****.
