I gave her these photos:

This was to be the top:

This to be the bottom:

All organza with a white sash and white flower

 

I asked if it was possible to make it a slight mermaid a little fitted through the hips, after some back and forth i decided to NOT do the fitted as I was nervous her making it without a picture AND i thought it would be better to be flowy for my underwater photoshoot.

 

I just recieved her photos on the almost finished dress (Missing flower)

 

Here they are:

As you can see it is defineately a MERMAID Style!!

 

Although i dont mind the dress at all- I am worried it will be too constricting for the underwater photo shoot?!

 

So do i ask her to fix it risking it what might happen to the quality or do i leave it as is?

 

So torn...

 

And for those of you who are wondering the dress cost $220 USD

 

 

Suggestions on what to do as well as anyother changes alterations I may be missing would be greatly apprecated!

 

Thanks all!

Here is an update to my last post!. I did ask the seamstress to take out the dress a little bit so it wasnt so "mermaid" and she has shipped me the dress, here it is:

Sorry for the photo quality they were taken on my blackberry! The dress is wrinkled from the shipping but you get the idea.

 

The dress fits like a glove ( a little big in the chest) but I will get it taken in.

 

 $220 plus $30shipping and  $20 duty = $270

 

The dress is made wonderfully,  it has boning and bra cups sewn in!

 

Very impresssed and happy and would absoluetly recomment Wonderxue for anyone looking to have a dress made!

If you're in Ontario, you can have them shipped to a warehouse in buffalo and then pick up yourself. I can let you know the warehouse name later. But that's what I did...ordered A LOT of stuff online from the USA and will pickup at the border. Cheaper and easier and I always love an excuse to do some buffalo shopping. 

 

Thanks... I actually live in DC... but I was a Syracuse native.. and I agree Buffalo is a great place to spend the day... lots of good friends are from there.

Beautiful.. and you're way braver than I am... however you also spent WAY less money than I did... so that's a win win for you I'm sure.

SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!  This is absolutely gorgeous!!!  I had an absolute NIGHTMARE trying to find a TTD dress.  I found a company that makes "knockoffs" of my dress (bridalshopa.com).  The dress was HORRIBLE!!!!!!  There is supposed to be a perfect X in the back with the straps; the straps on this garment attached at two different places on the back.  The fit was absolutely HAYNESS!!!  It bunched up in the middle and looked like I was wearing a big satin condom!  It was absolutely horrid.  I will attach comparison pics of my actual dress vs. the bridalshopa version (hm, they didn't download in order, but #1, 5, 6, and 7 are the knockoffs, and 2, 3 and 4 are my actual dress).  When all was said and done, and over a month of arguing, emails, excuses, negotiation, customs issues, etc., I finally got most of my money back (minus $50.)  Just be careful!  The company I was dealing with was out of China.  I ended up finding a nice Ann Taylor on sale.  It doesn't look the same, but at least the quality is nice.
