Am I wrong, or do these look like two completely different bodices?
Am I the only one seeing this?
This is for my second look for my wedding. The bottom photo was the original fitting/mockup, and the top photo is after the bodice was shortened from the bottom.
My seamstress keeps saying nothing changed besides the length, but visually the top feels completely different to me.
I understand that in order to shorten it, fabric had to be folded inward and sewn to clean up the top edge, but it feels like it was folded in too much, and it completely changed the shape of the bodice.
The original version looked longer, straighter, and more elongating on my torso. The altered version now curves upward at the sides, feels visually shorter/wider, and doesn’t have the same structured effect anymore.
I’m trying to explain this in a technical way instead of just saying “it feels different.” Does it look like shortening it changed the proportions or side shape of the bodice? How would you explain this clearly to a seamstress?
