I'm a bridal shop owner and seamstress and I can tell you that changing a zipped back into a corset back is one of the easiest alterations to do, I've done it many times, often overnight. I know the show likes to over dramatize but that was really over the top.
My daughter's formal dress had to have this exact change, It was a designer bridesmaid dress and my daughter between ordering and getting dress had started working at McDonalds and sampled too much of what she was selling. :) I took it to an alterations shop, and they did it in a week. It did cost a bit, but it was an easy fix, and looked perfect, you would never have known it wasn't the original design.
I did wonder when she said that. I mean I'm no seamstress but I can sew and I used to make little dresses by hand for my daughter when she was small (am also not bad at invisible mending). My first thought was that even I could manage to take out a zip and replace it with some lacing, even if it did make me sweat a bit! It wouldn't take me seven weeks either.
All of my prom dresses got switched to a corset back… the seamstress said it was the easiest thing to do and doesn’t take up much time
The only thing I can think of is they put all the eyelets in by hand instead of using an eyelet tape, but even then it seemed an extreme reaction.
How much more does it cost to do an alteration like that?
They definitely can alter that dress to a corset style in 7 weeks! Speaking as a seamstress, it’s not that complicated.
it sounded like they chopped up the audio for drama, and the woman was actually telling them it's quite a big job so it's going to cost more money.
Cynthia C that is assuming that is the only thing they are doing most likely they have other dresses.
Exactly. Easy peasy alteration. I did it in less than an hour on a dress. You can buy a corset kit for $50 or less on ebay or amazon. You dont even have to take the zip out unless you want to. Pin the couple pieces in place, run the sewing machine over them a couple times, done.
Im not a pro seamstress, but its easy enough to do, and there are tutorial vids online.
Granny T true but are you going to use a tutorial video for your wedding dress plus they have other customers maybe there’s a schedule that the seamstress is following
@@missondo4887 Lol. Yes. I designed and made my own wedding dress 25 years ago.
A couple years ago I used the corset kit and tutorial to put it into a (too large) gorgeous wedding gown I got on ebay for my daughter. I also used online video tutorials to see exactly how to alter a few other parts of the dress.
I love watching SYTTD but most people I know cant or wont spend thousands on a wedding dress. $1,500 originally dress (new! Just discontinued.) for $40 on ebay, absolutely. Doing a few alterations myself after careful study of tutorials, no problem. :)
I personally put a corset back into my Maid of Honor's dress 2 days before my own wedding. This seamstress is adding totally unnecessary stress on this bride. She basically called her fat and told her it would be difficult to do something that literally takes about 30 minutes to do.
Its probably edited. Plus putting a corset back costs alot of money, so that's probably what she was talking about
I’m sure you know a Bridal gown has much more structure and many more layers than a regular dress. And the bride called herself fat at the very beginning and said she had gained a lot of weight so why are you blaming the seamstress for trying to help her out? Yes, labor is not free. No one told the bride to add extra weight. I know sometimes gaining weight can sneak up on a person...believe me I know...but unless there is a medical condition, isn’t that the bride’s responsibility?
Uh, the bride admitted she gained weight and had concern. And 30 minutes? No. That’s a major alteration when they have to basically redesign the structure of the dress. Also, she’s not the only bride. There’s a reason 7 wks isn’t a long time.
@@user-xx7pg3vw9k she's not just the seamstress, she's the OWNER of the shop and the designer of the "Dando London" line of dresses.
@@achanwahn you don't redesign the structure of the dress to do a corset, you're just changing the closure
I find David's expression rude whenever a bride is not satisfied with the dress... His fake hospitality overpowers his words...
The best one till date is Say yes to the dress Lancashire ❤️
I actually find him friendly and kind, I can see why you would think him as a fake person, however, I don't see him as a rude one.
His extra politeness seems unnatural to me. Apart from that, he is sometimes in fact rude, but a good laughter after those comments shades them away
If you see other SYTTD... You can figure out if the bride is not feeling the dress... Then they don't unnecessarily ask the question and pressurise the bride.. but David has done this in a lot of episodes, his words "off to the dressing room" is kind of rude with that eye expression...
@@sonalkarn29 it's almost like you stole words from my mouth.
@@sonalkarn29 I dont like him he always seems in a rush as well
Like its a crime for a bride to try to many dresses
Oh please, the dramatic music when they were talking about putting in the corset back would be better suited to a car chase in an action movie. I can't. 🤦🏾
Υou are funny LOL
@@lenaannis8787 thank you!
I love that she’s embracing her mummy body! That’s so unusual and so beautiful!
I lost my baby weight very quickly with the first baby. After that, not so easy. :-( Regardless of wants or hopes, it seems when it comes to, say, celebrities or royal mothers, the focus is, How soon after giving birth will she look again as if she had never been pregnant in the first place? :-( And that's where trouble comes in IMO.
42 jade that’ll do it hahaha
She looks gorgeous, nothing wrong with her figure.
Christina Ödvall Lundberg i thought the same! She just has a bit of bad posture, maybe because she feels self conscious, dunno why because she looks so pretty
@@thekingsdaughter4233 I think so-called "celebrities"---I don't believe in such things, them just being attention-seeking ordinary people---must have a lot of surgery after their babies. Cher, for instance, was back to her "normal" shape within just three or four weeks of her two kids being born, and that isn't at all natural.
Why was David & the consultant so surprised to see a body positive bride 🙄
they dont see it often... but to be honest that whole comment and reaction was unprofessional... it felt like an expectation of her to try to lose weight... he wouldnt have said it to a smaller lady...but bless her heart for standing her ground.
Maybe because 90% of the girls always say nagative things about themselves? Sad but true :(
They probably encounter lots of brides who weren't even pregnant but are so focused on looking "picture perfect" that they are doing even crazy (and) unhealthy things to achieve that. So the, No I'm fine as is, is one for the books.
ETA: but yes, a reaction more considered "professional" would be nice, regardless. One of my teachers used to say, From a certain age on, you are responsible for your facial expressions!
Because it’s rare !!! When I went to try my wedding dress I was trying to lose my last 20 pounds after my baby and my dress was a little tight so I told them I’m gonna loose weight so the shouldn’t worry and they said I don’t need to and with a corset it will be fine I end up losing the weight anyways but canceled the wedding due to corona virus ..... so yeah it’s unusual to love your self with the changes your body makes after a baby so for her to feeling that way she is pretty awesome I wish I felt that way
Yess they were so surprised!
A corset back is NOT a 'big job' - well not for a competent dressmaker. They're racking up the cost.
I thought the same, you take out the sipper, and install hemps for the tread, it's not a huge job.. I guess they either are heavily booked, so not really any available time for it, or they are making it seem like a huge job, and take a bit more cash for it..
You're absolutely right -- I could put a corset in myself -- you don't have to re-design the whole dress !
Any "honest" seamstress can tell you that altering that dress to a corset back can be done rather quickly since they are not messing with the details on the dress, just the closure. It's difficult when they have to work directly on the fabric. For example, when taking in the sides, they are removing fabric and therefore has to remove the lace or beadings design, if there are any in that area, and put them back on afterward. Now that is fussy.
Heck, I'm not a seamstress and I can tell that the lady is overplaying it for the camera.
That lady is just an actor I think, she has been on other episodes and has no idea what is going on. I would also put boning in the front of that dress it just isn’t built up enough for her body. Lacing or not its going to crumple.
@@AmandaBoysenberry the graphic said she was the owner of the salon
@@AmandaBoysenberry that "actor" is the store owner and designer, Christine Dando (Dando of London). But she just "might" be playing up the drama a bit for the camera.... :-)
Lola Reh oh man you are right. I don’t know what’s going on there. Maybe she is just awkward. She definitely doesn’t seem to have any idea what needs to happen for the alterations. You don’t really have to know that stuff to be a designer though.
But remember they have other dresses to alternate. Maybe it doesn’t take long, but they might be busy
As a bridal alterations seamstress, I would never let a mother and bride sit that long afraid that the dress isn’t going to fit right. When the bride voiced her concerns in the beginning, I would have immediately told her there are several options for adjusting the size of gown. I honestly am not sure that lady is a seamstress, because I’ve specialized in wedding gowns for 5 years, and all of the designer gowns I’ve worked on were designed with extra seam allowance large enough that you can let a bodice out around 3 inches, sometimes more. I don’t see why a corset back was the first option, as I always try to preserve the design of the gown. Of course I didn’t see it in person, but her behavior and recommendations seemed really played up for drama.
Yeah she's the owner of the shop and a designer herself but I don't think she's actually in charge of alterations. You wouldn't know she was an owner by her unprofessional attitude though!
KK you certainly sound like you know what you’re talking about. That’s very interesting that designers allow for letting a gown out by so much. That should reassure a lot of brides to be reading your comment. Thanks for sharing that info...
"That lady" is Christine Dando, the designer of that gown, and the owner of that store, among a couple of others she owns. She IS a seamstress, and the girl shouldn't have put on weight! She already had the dress, so why wasn't she being careful about her diet???
Curious: does that allowance remain after initial fittings/alterations?
@@jb6712 my guess is she's in her first trimester and isn't wanting to announce it at that moment.
Thumbs up for all of us doing our best day by day to ACCEPT our bodies and recognize how valuable we are. We are not alone ladies. We deserve love, respect, and happiness. I still struggle everyday to accept my body and feel worthy. But you know what? I won't give up. Hope you don't do it too💕
Keep on loving your body mama. U just brought a whole beautiful human on earth that’s something We are supposed to be proud of
Currently growing a baby-- loving the changes (: Ill pay what evers due for my prayers to be answered
It’s okay if you struggle with what you see in the mirror, sister. We all do. Just take it one day at a time. You ARE worthy. You ARE beautiful. 🎉
@@shevahauser1780 congrats!
Carrot Girl & the other comments, so positive, so kind, so loving 💖. Get it ladies! Self love is not selfish ❣️
Christine Dando always gets flustered and panicky over the slightest problem, instead of being professional, reassuring and helping.
Maybe it is just a show put on for tv. Adding a bit more exitement.
Also, if you make the customer feel it is a big deal, you can always charge more 😁
I now wonder if that is a way of saying, We can do it, but it's gonna cost ya! :-\ Not that it would happen for me, but watching this would put me off considering her store. :-(
@@thekingsdaughter4233 Of course it is going to cost extra, and if they have to do it in a hurry, it is going to cost extra extra. If they have lot of work in a queue, they might have to make someone work overtime to get this kind of "last minute changes" done.
@@Susirajantakaa costing extra is one thing (and she was acting like that in a case when the shop messed up, and _she_ should have paid to fix the problem!). Paying an arm and a leg is something else, as is trying to intimidate or discourage the customer.
So its her problem that the bride gained weight?
That dress was so flattering on the bride, she did not look like she just had a baby
let's not forget that looking like you just had a baby is not a bad thing at all, that sounds a lot like a backhanded compliment to me
sensationalnana it was not a backhanded complements. The bride acknowledged she recently had a child and she did not want a dress that emphasized what she perceived to be a “baby belly”. Regardless of the dress or any choice of clothing she wore, I never would have guessed she was a recent mum.
I think the first dress showed a baby belly.
She looked lovely in the dress she picked... it looked light ... perfect for all that dancing at the reception!
For the second dress, I don't understand why ANY wedding dress would have a zip back. Especially if you are purchasing a TIGHT dress that you aren't going to be wearing for months and months, your body is GOING to change. Corset Lacing is really the ONLY way to go. I am really glad that they gave her the option to do that. Plus it will look better anyway!
I was given the option of a corset or zippered back for my dress. While the corset allows for an on the day fit, I went with zipper as I think it looks better with my particular dress (and having seen the corset version online afterwards I’m glad I chose zip!).
I had alterations done 3 weeks before the wedding so it should fit perfectly.
It is hard though because when I went shopping I was told to allow 6 months for the dress to be delivered, and then alterations... which is a long time! I then had to postpone my wedding so I was relieved when I went to the fitting and it still fit nicely, after ordering it over 12 months ago!
I really don't understand the zippers either. It seems like a cheap closure for something so expensive. I hate that all those buttons are always fake.
But I do have to say, fit wise it wouldn't be a problem for me, my weight doesn't fluctuate and I imagine that there are more women like me.
I love the look of corset backs on other people, but for some reason for my own dress choice they reminded me of can-can girls and loose women in period films. I couldn't get past it and preferred a zipper for myself.
I agree! I had a corset back and knew there was no other way for me! But I did lose more than 3 stone before my wedding!
I’m not a fan of the look of a corset back. If they could hide the lacing somehow, I’d be ok with it. But for me it’s distracting.
Ok I’m a formal bridal stylist. The way they handled that altercation appointment was appalling. Adding a corset happens all the time. Brides lose and gain weight around the time of the wedding because it’s so stressful. I hate that a clip like this could make other brides nervous about potentially not fitting in their dress. I always recommend ordering a larger dress if you’re kind of between sizes (it’s much easier to take in than let out). Putting on a corset back for even complicated wedding gowns takes a good seamstress a day or two to do. Now granted, that has to fit in with their work load and what they’ve already got scheduled but it’s not as big a deal as she made it seem. Also, I don’t appreciate her pressuring the bride to lose weight. The last thing you need is a bride doing a crash/unhealthy diet which tends to make women bloat in weird areas. Just a really sad and poor clip.
That's an unfortunate choice of words you made; an ALTERCATION is a disagreement, typically noisy, often in a public place. She was there for an ALTERATION--one letter makes a huge difference!--not for a noisy disagreement!
@@jb6712 Clearly unintentionally misspelled.
@@jb6712 relax it’s a simple mistake she doesn’t need a whole lecture on grammar
Would a corset back have taken any longer than a normal “letting out” alteration? Because I would assume it would be less work - unless they have to do both?
@@renownedbandanawearer1345 so typically it depends on the dress itself. Letting out a dress is always a lot more detailed work. If it’s a simple satin dress with no bead work or ruching, it could be a similar time to add a corset and let a dress out. The process to add a corset is usually as simple as removing the zipper and buttons, adding the corset panel, maybe adding matching lace to the panel and attaching the loops. When a dress is let out (if it can be let out) you have to go through the different layers of fabric to let it out on both sides at the existing seams. You then have to rework the top layer to match up, attaching the lace or beadwork to fill in the new gap. Usually the beadwork has to be done by hand. I remember watching one of my sweet seamstress friends work for hours and barely make 2in x 2in’s of progress and she had over 25 years of experience. Letting out a dress is actually pretty complicated and it’s why seamstresses are under appreciated angels
7 weeks for an alteration?? Remember when in Kleinfelds they called the designer and ask if they could make an entire dress in 10 week and they say they could make it in 8?
That 7 weeks is because there are orders for alterations ahead of her dress that needs to be done. Frankly, I would love to go undercover at bridal shops. I have lots of stories to tell and they aren't good!!
@@nancydann6338 please do share at least one with me 👀👀👀
The drama on this show is really hyped up! Surely the consultant should be calming the bride's worries, not making them worse. It was immediately obvious that a corset back would solve the problem. And 7 weeks should be more than enough time. There's a video on CZcams where a bridal seamstress does this in about an hour!
Yes I know! It's crazy! I mean, some drama is good, but I don't it's a good sign if the audience can see what they have faked!
The difference is that rather than one seamstress with one dress, they're factoring in the other alterations they have in front of hers. So it could be a one hour job, but there could be 30 or 40 dresses before hers, with weddings before hers...
@@suzannadannaTARDIS Even so, 40 dresses X 1 hour = 40 hours : 8 hours (assuming a 40 h a week job) =5 days. So 7 weeks is more than enough. Obviously not all jobs are such easy ones, but 7 weeks should be no problem.
@@potocatepetlhowever, not all dresses will require alterations that only take one hour. Those 30-40 dresses may need seams being taken in/let out, neckline change, hemline being shortened...all of those take time, especially if there's any beading, lace, etc. that needs to be taken into account.
@@christinamcclain5085 You didn't read my entire comment before replying, did you?
The women genuinely couldn't comprehend that the girl wasn't planing on loosing weight
poor faye, i know so many brides who worry about this since weight fluctuates, and stress eating is really common. she did look amazing, but sadly it wasn't as perfect as it could have been. her mum could have been more supportive though
IKR. I feel bad for her. (Note im still watching it.) Now I need to see the ending. 🤦♀️
I don't think her mum deserves any blame in this situation. She was just worried and trying to find a solution. It was very convenient for the bride to blame her mum when she's the one who gained the weight. If you're about to get married and you have already chosen a dress and have alterations working on it, then you have no choice but to maintain the same weight. It's just common sense.
mum couldn't really say much tho, she literally didn't say anything wrong
bride is the one that has to be mindful of her weight, she is the one who choose the dress and the one who gets to wear it, especially with such a short timeline she should had been more careful
blaming the mother who is as uncomfortable and lost of what to do at the situation certainly don't make sense
Aw I really the think the mom tried her best... I mean.. what do you say in that situation? You just have to try to be helpful and that’s what the mom did. She was trying to find solutions, being honest about the fit because it’s not useful to say “well I think it looks wonderful even though it’s not zipped up” because lying would do a lot more damage than good. She tried y’know? She didn’t seem to have any harmful intentions in my opinion. Being harmful would be her saying “well you shouldn’t have put on more weight, this is all your fault, money wasted, blah blah blah” but no. She didn’t do that. She was supportive and caring.
Moms quotes for entire video: “I’m a bit shocked that it’s not doing up because I honestly thought that it would” “yeah I do I love it, you don’t feel comfortable in it do you?” “I am worried a bit.... because I don’t know how they’re gonna put it right” “Don’t know what they’re gonna do” “so the corset would go to the bottom of the zip?” “It’s a good idea, if they can do it then it’s a good idea” “I’m just hoping that they can do it, fingers and toes crossed”. - so that whole time, she was directing concern at *them* *they* and *it* (it being the dress and they/them being the bridal company) she never ONCE directed any blame towards her daughter, and never referred to her weight. She didn’t say ‘I hope she loses the weight in time’, she said she hopes the company can alter the dress to the correct size in time. Showing that she thinks her daughter is exactly the weight she should be because she’s perfectly fine the way she is. Guys I don’t know why I’m so passionate about this lol but I just felt she needed to be defended. She was being a good mom. Moms deserve more credit. :’( she honestly tried and was actually super nice...
The consultant is being so rude and unprofessional with the second girl.
What
Yeah when she says "you're kidding" after the client tells her she may have put on some weight was so insulting. You can see in the mom's eyes that she's shocked too.
sadly, that is the owner
The "consultant" is Christine Dando, the designer of that dress, and of the Dando London line of gowns. She is also the owner of that shop, and of two others in the UK, if not more than that. She is also a seamstress who alters the gowns.
But if a person wants to know about the real sham behind all of these so-called" reality shows, there are several "documentaries" and articles online showing and explaining that the production crews are who actually run everything, and they insist on, demand, and force far more drama than is actually ever present.
One has to take all the house hunting, home improvement, bridal, cooking, decorating, etc., etc., etc., shows with a grain of salt the size of Texas, in other words.
The drama with the fitting is so overdramatic. Seven weeks is plenty of time to alter that dress. The consultant is a turnoff.
Really hope she managed to get her dress re-designed with a corset back. She'll look gorgeous on the day!
i was hoping to see the final product!
Considering that this episode was shot several years ago, she very likely did look fine on her wedding day.
I feel like a dress not fitting is a common problem and “syttd” add a lot more drama to show 🤷🏽♀️
Agreed. A good seamstress could take apart a dress and resew it in less than a week, as long as the seam allowances are still large+intact. I've done it, as has my sister.
It really is. My mum worked as a seamstress for years and usually this sort of thing would only take her a few days to a week to fix.
But what if they have many more jobs that need to be done. I would think that their seamstress have enough work so they'd have to fir this unscheduled work in between.
It said it was her first fitting but shouldn't you have more than one for this reason???
If you know that you are gaining weight the bride’s responsibility is to notify the shop before waiting the entire 4 months.
Honestly, given her budget, that dress is magical!
Okay- the fact that the consultant hinted at her to loose weight. The only thing she should be doing is supporting that gorgeous woman who is stressed enough as it is.
She wasn't being rude by asking. A lot of brides diet throughout the alteration process and obviously their fluctuating body weight effects the alterations. As a seamstress, she needs to know if the bride is planning on changing her figure in the 2.5 months leading up to the wedding because it effects her job. If the bride had decided to diet, the alterations would have been less drastic than adding in a corset. That's why she asked.
The bride did admit she had gained weight so it's actually her fault the dress didn't fit, not the lady who was altering it! As I was watching it, I thought "You shouldn't have gained weight then it would have fitted!" I know planning a wedding is stressful and she was probably comfort eating, but I did think they were trying to blame the seamstress!
@@rhyfelwrDuw The statistical likelihood of a woman gaining a little weight in the months/year between ordering the dress and going to the final fitting is so high that failing to account for letting out a few inches in the dress design is kind of the seamstress’ fault in my opinion. That said, I haven’t seen any “blame” towards to the seamstress except for her saying that a corset back is a big job, which I’ve heard it definitely is not.
At the end of the day, I think it would be good if we all stopped seeing weight gain, especially such minimal gain, as “fault” of any kind. It’s just something that happens. Human bodies are designed to be incredible at it, so for most people it’s going to be very difficult to avoid.
I love that she embraces her figure! It's a huge upgrade from what I normally see on this show. I also think that Faye looked GORGEOUS but I felt so bad because she looked heartbroken that the dress didn't fit her.
Wow, the bride who had to have her dress altered was put through so much rude behaviour by the consultant & seamstress.
SHE has the right mindset, louder for the people in the back
embracing the few kilos she gained is massive big brain energy
i also hate that whole "change your weight in order to fit the dress" like no the dress is not wearing me I'M wearing the dress i shouldn't be going through diets just to feel comfortable and pretty in an outfit
Only going up 2 sizes after a baby is amazing honestly, with my first baby I went from a 0/2 to a 10/12 and I had a really hard time trying to love my new body.
The second dress was just soooo good on her like her hairstyle and all just was so perfect for that!
this show is so addictive! I can even watch the whole season in just one day. ❤️🥀
If my body looks HALF as good as hers post-baby I'll be the happiest person ever! I'm so happy to see a body positive bride on this show, it's so refreshing.
this is a clear sign that the world needs to get on the stretchy wedding dress train
🤣😂🤣
HAHA!!!!😁😁😉
A corset back saved my butt at my best friend's wedding! I got pregnant about three months before the wedding and I swear EVERYTHING expanded! Thankfully the seamstress was able to add a corset back in only a day and saved the day! The dress was still ugly as sin but at least it fit lmfao!
I’ve never said this in a comment , but I have always thought it . Having to buy your dress months and months before the wedding seems mad . I’d probably end up with an eating disorder trying to stay at exactly the same weight all that time . Also lots of different dresses might pass before your eyes as you marinate in wedding stuff , and make the dress you chose months ago seem to be the wrong choice . Talk about stress . And good heavens , the money ! No more choosing your fabric and your pattern for a competent dressmaker known for success creating wedding gowns . And getting it made two or three weeks before the wedding . Life is so difficult these days with weddings needing to be full scale extravaganzas starring the bride , and not a beautiful day of hope and joy for a man and woman sharing with friends and family.
I quite agree. I always thought it was an age thing. I’m 5’11” and there were no dresses to even try on thirty years ago. No chance of a bridal shop making one in five months. So pencil, paper, tailors dummy, sewing machine and a trip to a fabric shop (remember those?).
@@katecurtis4789 I most certainly do. And standing in the fabric shop at the counter provided for the simplicity , or vogue etc etc pattern books . Leafing through the many choices with Mum , then choosing the fabric and trim . More often than not Mum made your dress . I look at the fabulously ornate and beautifully designed gowns as the ‘entourage ‘ say “ eugh “ to each one . What a hard to please bunch we seem to be these days .
Agree! It would be great just to pick something off the rack a couple of days before!!
I’ve watched like 30 of these in 2 days😂😂
In 5 months it's perfectly natural for your body to get bit expand or shrink. They can change it again right? The nightmare would be not liking the dress anymore
As long as there is enough seam allowance, I guess. But yes, one would think they'd factor in the time and what could happen. Shoot, I know someone who bought her dress and then found out she was pregnant. A good seamstress put in a few extra inches of fabric at the waist... done. :-)
@@thekingsdaughter4233 Why should they factor in the time and what could happen? Their job is to alter the dress to fit the size that the bride gave them, a job they are doing for many other brides at the same time mind you. It is the bride's responsibility to maintain her own weight. Don't put this on the consultants. Next you guys are going to expect them to make sure that the brides have clear skin. Don't be ridiculous.
@@rubyblue4265 agreed
Why would you tell the bride to lose weight??? Couldn't you have found more positive words to say? 🤦🏾♀️😡 no bride wants to hear "lose weight " while dress shopping especially from the consultant smh
Because most people want to lose weight weight for their wedding!
Bride was the one to gain the weight after already ordering her gown.. She was the idiot
@@eileenmcdonald1599 Why are you bashing someone you don’t even know? Don’t post if you’re going to be cruel.
@@sarahdussome4790 Sure she was cruel and such a message shouldn't be written, but the truth is that the bride did not gain all that weight in a month. If you know you gained weight, make an appointment earlier or inform the people that you gained a size so they have the time to alter the dress. I wouldn't tell her to lose weight, but I would definitely ask if she plans to lose or gain weight, otherwise she can take the risk to have no dress for the wedding. I think the corset was the ideal solution, this way one can gain or lose a bit of weight without stressing if the dress fits.
I'm just so sure when a bride comes here in David's store with a budget of 20,000 ..they'll show dresses starts from 21000 and will comfortably say ' it's just little bit over budget,would you mind?.😅😂.
i had noticed the opposite on this show - more often than the American version getting dresses well below budget.
Living for her positive attitude and outlook!
What a refreshing attitude that bride had, and she looked absolutely stunning and elegant in the dress she chose.
She looked very thin in that second dress
She s beautiful and she accepts herself that s the most important
I feel like that alteration is not as difficult as they're making it seem. And they have nearly 2 months, how long do u need??
If you want it done correctly. It takes time. Its not like this is the only dress they are working on.
I absolutely loved the way she said, “Lumps, bumps & extra bits”... It’s so refreshing to see someone being realistic and accepting of her “*AB Body”. (*After Birth/Baby Body) It’s amazing what a woman’s body can do... We can make a baby, a human being. Yes, it definitely traumatizes our bodies... Parts of us will stretch, sag or even rip! After being pregnant and/or nursing... Your body will never be exactly the way it was before. I’m NOT saying that you can’t lose all the Pregnancy/baby weight or ever have a flat stomach again... However, it will never go back to exactly the way it was pre-pregnancy/baby.
I love the dress she picked and she looked absolutely lovely.
I love that she is embracing the “lumps and bumps” after having a child. Motherhood is a beautiful thing.
I gained a little weight during quarantine and I tried my dress on for the first time in like 4 months yesterday. I was so relieved it actually zipped all the way 😂 this would be my nightmare
Honestly, it pisses me off when Hollywood pressures women to immediately lose the baby weight after they give birth and it's like no you're still feeding two people. Your body needs those extra nutrition stores to provide the necessary ingredients for milk. And besides, Mommy bodies are beautiful things to see. Any spouse should love the other in all their beautiful, wonderful curves and edges.
Remember everyone, as loud as those other voices are... You are Perfect. You are Beautiful. You are a Treasure.
Why watching this show become one of my nigh routine every single day 😂🤦🏻♀️
I can’t stop being bothered by her posture 😭
She is so pretty and I just want to say stand up tall!!
Quite often people have bad posture soon after having kids as they’ve had to get used to the weight of pregnancy altering their centre of gravity. So I wonder if that’s it.
Yassss! It’s a big pet peeve of mine.
Right? I kept wanting to shout at her to stand up straight haha
It’s always so suspenseful, but you know they can fix the dress in time. 💚💚
I'm actually shocked that Christine Dandos first answer to the issue was "could you loose some weight" instead of explaining what can and cannot be altered on the dress. How rude.
A huge shout out for embracing motherhood transformation 💕
Once again, thank you for putting these on CZcams. I love these shows.
FINALLY a bride with positive body esteem! Bless her for embracing her body. ALL bodies are beautiful. And if you’re reading this - whether you identify as a man, a woman, non-binary ...yes, YOUR body is beautiful, too!
The seamstress was so rude here, wtf
She's actually the owner of the shop. Can you believe it?
Faye is still a totally gorgeous bride. I hope that corset back worked out. It sounded Lovely. I have a lot of hope for her marriage. They seem like best friends, and she appreciates their differences, how he complements their relationship. The fact she also featured his kindness was also very heartening. I'm pleased with the blonde bride's choice of dresses, too. It was classy and elegant. The neckline was particularly flattering. Loved these generations of ladies who made her appointment. They all seem very sweet.
Yay!!!! 💕 Embrace and love what you are. I love it!
I love David's finesse which is so rare in this day and age.
Its beautiful how everyone has different taste n when they find that dress it looks stunning.
In every video bride is excited about her groom, adores, loves him, says that he is the nicest person in the world. Then, how come there is so many divorced couples afterwards? That is a sad fact
The first bride is so refreshing with her self-acceptance and she looks fantastic in the dress she chose. My heart goes out to the bride whose dress didn’t fit… I had to get on a medication after I chose my dress, and it made me gain weight. I barely fit in it and it was so stressful.
Did exactly the same with my dress. changed zipper to a corset. went perfectly.
I LOVE how comfortable she is with her new mama body. Soooo cute. You go girl ❣👏
I.ve done the same alteration to my dress. It only took them 1 week to do it. I needed the space as I was 5 and a half months pregnant
The second dress looked Devine on her
I had to do the exact same thing to my daughter’s wedding dress , I removed the zip and replaced it with satin loops to make a corset back and even doing it all totally by hand to avoid removing beads etc I got it done in a few hours...I think it actually looked better than the zip did in the first place.....
I’m not a professional dress maker and I don’t have all the special machines and feet etc they do which makes a job so much faster..I honestly think a professional could do it in an hour considering they use tape with loops ready made onto it and it just sits in the slot from the removed zip and gets stitched up .....not a major job or a “ design “ change just a different form of closure... I wonder how much they charged her for that change ??
Also I noticed the dressmaker’s surname is Dando .....
“ Dando of London “ ??
That’s why they push her designs.
The second woman is wearing Samwell Tarly! Love it.
I love her body confidence amd I always wanted to get married in Jamaica 🇯🇲.
A warm welcome awaits, if you decide to come to Jamaica
@@kadinewalters6044 yesssss thank you love. I have family in Jamaica. I love my culture on my dad side. It made me so prideful of my Indian Jamaican Jamaica 🇯🇲 descent🥰🥰
@@fashiongoddezz3462 🤗
Love that she is embracing her post-baby body. I'm just beginning my intuitive eating practice and this is so empowering. She is STUNNING.
Also, as an added comment, I really hope that David is ASKING the bride permission (it does not look it) before touching the girls in the dresses in regards to alterations. Some places that he's touching would make me very uncomfortable, honestly.
They always have a solution 👌amazing store and workers
The long sleeved dress is the first dress I've actually liked in the entire running of this show. Stupendous!!
Lovely girl and she looks so much like her Grandma! Perfect dress for her.
Both brides made right choice !!! Congratulations .
"i think i'm more embracing the extra" yaaaas honey, that is exactly the right choice
Yesssss! Accept body changes! You are beautiful! OMG I'm crying 😍
The first bride move more delicate than a flower like she was barely moving but still so sweet and the dress was so nice
The uk store is honestly goals 😌✨
idk whos editing these but I must say that I dont like the two brides in one video thing you're doing now. if you split it up in two videos like you used to, you could even make more money because more videos = more views = more dollars for the big syttd boss
The big syttd boss 😂
Okay, but Faye is so pretty, I'm without words :0
Yaaaasssssss Jamaica destination... I approve 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲. You can probably invite me for the Jamaican extraness 😂
You’re really telling a bride 7 weeks away from her wedding she needs to lose weight?
Anyone know how to see the whole episode? I want to see Faye's final dress!
I love the body positivity, she’s gorgeous!
No interesting comments yet dammit
The second bride, Why would the store owner make her feel so bad. A corset back isn't A big deal, she called it a design change so that raises the cost. Corset backed and putting the bustle ties on a wedding gown aren't big deals, honestly helped a girl who did not have a bustle put on her dress at the reception using safety pins, it worked fantastic and no one knew.
Why can’t they show dresses that are in budget? And then David makes a face like “wow i can’t believe the dress is so cheap” even though it’s more expensive than they were planning 🙄
she is so pretty!
Beautiful bride with a great message for after having a baby.
My dress was altered to add a corset back. I bought it off the clearance rack and they didn't have any left in my size. My seamstress told me it was a simple alteration.
Oh my first bride dress ..first time seeing such angelic dress in this show..good luck second bride..
Why can't we see the dress after its fixed?
I really love her beautiful dress it's gorgeous
I love this show so much
if the first one didn’t have the illusion neckline it would have been stunning
First bride that really suitedlong sleeves.Def great on her
For junior prom I bought a gorgeous dress for cheap because it had a broken zipper. My best friends mom turned it into a corset in two days, and she's not even seamstress. So it's beyond ridiculous that they are acting like it's such a big deal to get the dress changed in 7 weeks.
I think the engaged couple breaking up would be more devastating then something going wrong with the dress, but that's just my opinion. 🙂🙃
I need to start another savings just for my wedding dress even without a husband😩😩
If nothing more, this woman is so special for embracing the changes her body has gone through. I wish more women would accept themselves!
