Back to EpisodesMom Said Yes to the Dress, But the Bride Couldn't Speak Up
Description
Not every wedding dress alterations appointment is about the dress.
In this episode, we share a real fitting room experience involving a bride who arrived with her mother—the person who purchased her wedding gown and played a major role in choosing it.
Throughout the fitting, the bride seemed anxious, overwhelmed, and eager to move through the alterations process as quickly as possible. Questions were met with few answers, and as bridal seamstresses, we often witness emotions that have very little to do with sewing. Sometimes what appears to be a dress issue is actually something much deeper.
Join us as we discuss family dynamics, wedding stress, and what bridal professionals encounter behind the scenes during wedding dress alterations.
