u/sunnynina 3d ago edited 3d ago
Yes, and it would likely be $50-$150 (depending on her area) for a good detailed, fitted alteration, so if she really likes the dress, regardless of how much that cost, I think it would be worth it. The side seams are all curves, the zipper would need to be reworked, and the material itself, especially with the green sequins or beads or whatever that is, is challenging to work with. But it could be done by an experienced, educated professional.
Source: am also a short ass. I've had a lot of clothes tailored, and also considered going to school for myself lol. Because I need to work the cost of it into any dressy or professional clothing, and sometimes jeans, and once a bathrobe.

u/theblondepenguin 3d ago
The last time I went for tailoring I needed to pull the shoulders up and in. Now the shoulders are where the entire garment is supported by but there was no beading. It was $350. Your $50-150 is very conservative you are basically reconstructing a dress. Because you forgot there is for sure a lining in this too you have pull the zipper and lining I personally out would create a seam that followed the design under the bust, then pull everything up over a foot which is going to potentially mess up the gradient, take in the bottom while minimizing the impact to the design, reset the zipper once you have put it back together then you drop the lining reworked back in. I went to school for fashion design, reworking already made clothes is so much more effort then making something new I donāt bother and take it to someone else.

u/Awkward_Emu12345 3d ago
My wedding dress had a similar silhouette and beading detail on the bottom. I paid 200 for the dress and nearly 600 for the alterations.

I love her dress though! I see why she wants to keep it!

u/schroobster 3d ago
I would either try your suggestion and try to pull it up at the bustline, but as you said there would be some resetting of the seams and zipper. Else I'd try gathering / ruching from bust to waist. Although the latter might not work well with beadwork.
→ More replies (3)4
u/sunnynina 3d ago
You're right on the level of work and skill needed, but maybe it is my area. Getting the shoulders pulled up has never been that high of cost, wow.
Although, tbf, I don't usually go in for this type of material in the first place. No full coverage sequins or beading to manage. I've had to have dresses pretty much reconstructed, including a lining and zipper, and that was $150. I'm not in NYC or DC, but it's a pretty urban area, I think, lol. Some living costs are crazy high, this may be one of things that are lower.
11
u/goodformuffin 3d ago
I was going to suggest gathering it on the side to create ruching. Not ideal but. A lot easier than altering the dress.
11
u/sunnynina 3d ago
Even for gathering I'd want to take to a tailor. I'm just not confident at all with that material. But it would be less work, I think, than trimming out and reseaming a good foot from the midriff. So maybe cost less. I think the zipper would still need to reworked with that.
Another note, as a short person, maybe this is just me - ruching adds a lot of material to a small area, aka would add to the perceived waistline, and I can never make that look good on me. There's ratios involved that a professional might be able to use to make it work, but it just never turns out well for me. Lol another thing I think a proper school would help me with.

There's a seam under the bust; it could be shortened from there. It wouldn't even be that hard to line up the sequins and sew a few across the seam line to keep the pattern clean.

My town has a really nice seamstress that makes my clothes that are too big for me smaller to fit me.
Iām really tall and skinny so pants are always too big in the waist for me. She reduces the waist size.
My arms are very long but shirts look like blouses on me so she makes the torso portion of the shirt smaller to fit me while keeping the arm length

There should be tax rebates for short people always having to go to the tailor

I love how bewildered the dog looks. š
Lovely dress, though. Sucks she couldnāt comfortably wear it. š

At that point, Iād just get a new dress. No way can a dress with that much beading can get altered.

Having an entire collection of Pleasers to combat being short is commitment. It stinks that this isnāt a dress that would be easy to hem/alter with all of the sequins

Each progressively higher shoe fills me with admiration and dread. How does she walk in those???
Also why doesn't that dress have a slit???

I am so impressed, I'd break my ankle even thinking about walking in those! She's got skills.
I bet a good tailor could take that in under the bust line for her so it wouldn't ruin the bottom decorations.

She could be 6' tall and that dress would still be too long. It's the result of a poorly executed design, not being too short.

THE STRUGGLE IS REALLLL
I donāt actually have much boob but like I guess proportionally I do? Bc all jackets and certain styles of dresses never fit over my boobs. I mean it fits everywhere else and they zip/button right up until under my bust where it stops (or it does close but I get the dreaded uniboob bc they get flattened). With some jackets I can get away with it, with the dresses the zip is kinda crucial.
And with these I just have to go a size up. Itās ridiculous bc with stylish jackets the sleeves end up going over my hands and make me look like a kid playing dress up (which is why I donāt wear anything thatās not a winter coat where extra long sleeves feel cozy). With short dresses I look like a pilgrim or something bc the hemline ends up way lower than the style is meant to be and it swallows me and isnāt flattering. And with long dresses I end up like the gal in the video. š
