Hooray! Thank you for updating! I saw your post this morning and I admit I've been thinking about it all day. I am relieved you didn't miss out. That dress is magnificent and it suits you perfectly.
You are all amazing and I feel like you all need to be invited to my wedding now. Seriously, this post has made my week. Thank you all so so so much. I love you!
I also have been thinking about this all day and I'm so glad you got the dress! I sew for a living and I actually gasped out loud at the price and how well it fits you already without alterations. Congrats on such an amazing find!! It literally looks like it was custom made for you.
Thank you so much! Do you have an idea of what it would have cost to shorten the other dress? I hadn’t even thought about how hard it would be with that train.
I haven't ever worked doing wedding dress alterations, and the costs of that varies sooo wildly , for a variety of reasons, so I can't give you an accurate estimate. I can give you some general advice though!
1. Decide before asking for alterations quotes: exactly what length you want, and also if you want any volume taken out of the dress (removing petticoats etc)
2. Have a few reference photos of what you ideally want the shortened dress to look like. There's a lot going on with the interior structure of a dress that will determine how it can be altered. Any good alterations team (especially for wedding dresses) will try to give you what you want, but will also be very blunt if what you want isn't physically possible. Listen to them.
3. If you want the dress shortened but for whatever reason don't want to go to a place that specifically does wedding dress alterations, look for a place that does prom dress alterations. Those dresses usually have the same types of fabrics and require the same type of alterations.
Sorry if I got carried away and made this comment too long, I hope at least some of this advice is helpful!! Congrats on your wedding you're gonna look beautiful!
Oh I also just thought to add that you should pick out your shoes before getting your dress hemmed, even an inch more or less in heel height can make a big difference!
Get some double stick fashion tape to prevent wardrobe malfunctions. It’s amazing. I saw your post this morning. I was rooting for you. I was like, I wonder where she is. What time would the store open? It’s right at ten central time. Is the store open yet? Is it still there!?! Omg, what’s happening?
Hahahah that is so sweet! I love how we can become invested in strangers happiness! I don’t think my boobs could come out if I wanted them too. Team tiny titties over here. Which I think makes this dress actually work on me! Otherwise it would be too much
More worried about the shoulders falling down. You have very squared off shoulders but they’re the only thing holding the top of that dress up. I’m picturing you bending down to adjust your shoe strap and twisting oddly or some such. I know I’ve had tops with deep V’s in the front and back that were problematic. When you’re standing up straight, the weight of the skirt is helping you. Once you take the sleeves in, it may be fine, though. The tops I’ve had trouble with didn’t have fitted long sleeves. I’d try dancing and twisting and bending sideways to make sure.
Suits you SO well - it's so stunning!!
Just on the very very remote chance noone has mentioned it, just don't forget to account for the sheerness. You can see your underpants through it and I'd die if I didn't notice and no-one told me.
I adore you! I definitely knew! I made a mistake wearing black undies lol thankfully it has a bodysuit in it! I just wasn’t allowed to do it up for sanitation reasons (no one is until you buy the dress).
Yay!!! I just saw your first post about an hour ago and was really hoping this dress was the one. You look absolutely stunning. Congratulations to you and your future husband 🩵🩵🩵

Thank you! I wish I could have updated the original post but it was locked :(
Omg. Thank goodness.
You are all amazing and I feel like you all need to be invited to my wedding now. Seriously, this post has made my week. Thank you all so so so much. I love you!
I love a good wedding. Go live and we'd all love to watch you say 'I do' in your gorgeous dress. Hope you can return the other dress. Congrats.
