(Closed) Altering my dress from Fit and Flare to DRAMATIC Mermaid

My dress as well was more of an A-line bottom, softer Fit-and-Flare.

I had it altered to a more fitted mermaid shape.

I’m having my Augusta Jones Jessie gown changed into a mermaid shape.  Alterations aren’t done yet and I’m so anxious to see how it turns out. 

This is the dress as it comes:

And this is how I’m having them alter it (it’s pinned up in this photo so ignore the weird bunching)

I will update once alterations are done if anyone wants to see the result…

Hi inloveweddingfever!

I just purchased the same exact dress this weekend for the same discounted price!! We’re pretty lucky girls, I’d say 🙂

And…I’m thinking of doing the exact same thing as you–convert to more of a mermaid fit, but also want to convert to a sweetheart neckline. I’d LOVE to know how you plan on accessorizing this dress! I’m having a bit of a panic now as I’m worried it’s a little too plain, but I think I’ll be fine 😉

Here’s a link to my post on this board: http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/dress-accessory-help#axzz2LNokIbey

You look great in the dress, btw!

Just found this post – I have this dress too (and got it for the same great price)! Just posted a couple of pics here. I had it altered to make it more mermaid-style and am also wearing a mermaid petticoat.
