    Hello everyone.

    I'm pretty new here, and I have a question about my dress...I'm trying to get a sense of how many people have been in my shoes.

    I ordered Watters 'Alexandra' for my June 2012 wedding: 

    Letting a dress out? :  wedding watters alexandra alterations a line 1 gown Watters

    She's my dream dress, for sure.

    The skirt is not a trumpet gown per se; I guess it's more of a modified A-line.

    My question is: 

    assuming there is enough fabric to let it out, do you think a seamstress would be open to letting out the dress in the hips, to make the gown fuller and more of a traditional A-line?

    What do you all think?  Any other watters alexandra brides out there?

     

    Thank you so much :)

    You'll have to find a good seamstress and ask. I would say no because I've always been told thats its very hard too, and might ruin the look of the dress. The most they could do is maybe a 1/2 inch or less.

    OP, I just saw you post to another thread about dress regret and I have to tell you,  If you are open to being swayed, DON'T let this dress out.  I saw you post a picture of yourself in it in another thread, and I have to say, the shape it gives you is amazing.  It looks like it was made for you hun!  Don't even have a second thought, I love it!
