[@katyb2793]

it's a great way to make a modern dress a bit more modest too, or a cheaper plain dress more interesting, if you can sew a bit.

[@shadowjewel]

@@katyb2793 You say that but that lace is top tier; it's finished edge lines up with the waist perfectly, the detail overlaps the front and back neckline of the main body of the dress perfectly too, there's the neck detail on top of that, and it all looks like one piece attached at the dress neckline and zipper. It looks high quality to me, too. Good luck finding this kind of lace overlay as a home sewer. Unless you are are able to make it yourself, you'd probably have to use this as inspiration to make something much more basic.

I did! It was in the window of a bridal shop for £1,450. There was no man on the horizon and I was a financially struggling single mum. About 6 months later a man I'd liked for a while asked me out and 6 weeks laater we were engaged. Meanwhile the bridal shop closed down and a fashion shop opened in its place. Thry were selling off the wedding dresses on a rail at the back of the shop. My dress wasn't there. I tried on a few but didn't like any. The assistant asked what i really wanted so i told her I wanted the dress that had been in the window and she said it was in a box in the store room! She brought it out and I bought it immediately for £50! We've been married for 20 years ❤

I saw an episode of say yes to the dress where a woman bought the dress but broke up with her fiancé before he final payment. They have a no return policy so basically she could abandon the dress and get no money back on what she paid or pay it off and store it u til she decided what to do. So years later she gets engaged and comes back to alterations with the dress not knowing if it would hold awful memories or if she would use it. She puts it on and she’s like “this is still my dress, that guy wasn’t the right man but this is still the right dress!”

Just for the fun of it when I was around 21 years old, I went with my boyfriend's sister window shopping. On the way was a bridal shop. So we stopped in to just look around. The first one I tried on, I loved. I knew that I would never find this one again and it was on clearance. I didn't know for sure who I would marry at that moment, I just wanted it to be in that dress! I think it was $500 something, back in the late 1980's. I bought it not telling her brother (she didn't tell him either)and luckily a couple of months later he proposed! 30 something years later and we're still happily together! So I definitely understand this story!!

This dress looks similar to my mums wedding dress which she made herself based on a picture she found in a magazine. Unfortunately I can't quite fit it into it. I'm a bit wider in the back and have a bigger chest than my mum. My parents married in 1981 as well. Fun fact. My parents had an argument while my mum was working on her dress and mum threw a cup of tea at dad and it splattered on the dress so she got married in a tea stained dress. They're still happily married 42 years later and still have dumb arguments. Coincidentally my sister spilled tea on her wedding dress too. So maybe it's a good omen?

[@Srh721]

No it's just a family curse 😂

If you're comfortable with altering it, you can add panels to the side seams to expand the back and chest. With a talented seamstress and a bit of time to match the fabric, you'd never even notice.

This is more common than you think. I used to be a wedding seamstress, and we would get a few dresses a year that were WILDLY out of the bride's size. Obviously we'd ask them why, and be told by the bride that they had been bought them looooong before they had a groom. I always remember one in particular, because she had bought it in high school and was getting married 15 years later... unfortunately, she'd been tiny in high school, and was no so much anymore. We couldn't "let out" the dress even remotely what she needed and she stood in the dressing room and bawled for an hour. It was a rough afternoon for all of us.

[@GG-py9vp]

Well sheesh poor thing but she had to have had some idea

[@hannahg5479]

@@GG-py9vp She likely did-- but I think she was hoping we would have some magical solution to make the dress work. A lot of people seem to think you can just "stick a panel somewhere" to fix a too-small garment. Brides can be very weird about their dresses; they pack a lot of emotions and fantasies into them, and when their vision doesn't meet reality they take a real hit to their confidence.

I brought my dress in 2009. I was already engaged at the time but not getting married until the next year or so later. £150 from Tiffany's. Always wanted a dress from Tiffany's. One of the last 6 of that style. I got it with help in 2009 and got married in 2011 in it to the same person I was engaged to at the time. We are happily still married. Upside, I was wearing a dress that not every bride wore that year and under £200 with alterations done by a friend for free for the length and adding straps.
