The way that you are storing them right now is much better than hanging them, imo.
So, I popped a seam on the side of one of my dresses when I was tugging a little too hard on it. I live 30+ minutes from the nearest decent-sized city and am an hour and a half from two major cities. It's only a few stitches that came undone- can I take it to any seamstress to fix or should I take it to one of the larger cities? By the time you factor in gas (especially if I have to leave it there), it could be an $80 fix :-/
Isn't there any great seamstress near you? Maybe you can google for reviews..
I did... the nearest one with good reviews is about 40 minutes away. There's a few "alterations" places in my town (t the drycleaners), but they don't have any reviews. I may swing by and see what they think- its really less than 10 stitches that need to be fixed.
Can anybody recommend a seamstress in Toronto, Ontario?
I purchased an HL, from their Miracle Miles location in Las Vegas, which had a few gaps between the bandages. The SA said it was an easy fix and sent me to "their" seamstress. When I went to pick up the dress, the seamstress said she'd "reinforced" all the seams on the bottom half the dress so this wouldn't happen again. I didn't think anything of it at the time, since she was "the boutique's" seamstress.
When I put it on for the first time this weekend, I was horrified to find the stitching was way too tight, making each band stretch in the middle but not on the seams, so I look like the Michelin man.
I'm thinking my only option at this point is to have someone undo the reinforcing and re-sew, and if worst comes to worst they'll have to do all the stitches on the bottom half and put the bands back together

Oh no!! Can you go black and explain/complain? I really hope you can have it undone...
Thank you ladies
I will keep them folded and laid flat in my drawer then. I wouldn't want them to stretch out of shape
I'm at school in NB, Canada now, so I can't go back
I've emailed CD but haven't heard back... I'm assuming, worst comes to worst, a talented seamstress will be able to fix this...This sounds like a very simple fix. I would go to a nearby seamstress. That's just me.
Just purchase this red gown from net a porter. What do you think?
*sizzling hot!* I love it!
