What is going on with the back of this dress?

There is some puckering in the back. I'm wondering if this is an issue with the fit of the dress or an undergarment issue (I'm wearing a bra with thin straps in the back)

I have a short torso notorious for causing bodice issues.

Tailor said dress is a perfect fit (aside from hem) do you agree?

Hi All, looking for some clarity moving forward with alterations. The tailor said this dress was a perfect fit, and I'm inclined to believe them, although I don't like the wrinkling in the bodice. The tailor mentioned that this is how crepe lays on a body that's curvy like mine. Am I nitpicking this?

Are there alterations you would add?

I don't like the elastic on my sleeves, what do I ask for during alterations

Hi all- I get married in 45 days and I have two rounds of alterations. These pictures are pre alterations. I just did one where they adjusted the hem. The next appointment is coming up in two weeks.This Eddy K Trisha dress is my dream and I chose it over the Watters Harlow dress because I liked that the lace was more delicate in appearance and that it has the basque waist.

The one thing I don't like in comparison to the Watters dress is how obvious the elastic is. The third pic is how seamless the Watters elastic is, not my dress (which are the first two). Is this something that can be altered and how do I communicate it? Thank you :)

EDIT: The third pic is a close up of the Watters dress sleeve and how seamless that one is

I was regular with exercise and the gym all of 2025 and the first two months of 2026. I was quite proud of the progress I made. Then some things in my life popped up and I prioritized those things instead of exercising, for one and a half months. Its fine, it happens.

As time went on, I became fearful of what I had lost in terms of gains and physical fitness. This fear held me back for another three, unnecessary weeks.

I went back for the first time this week and I was pleasantly surprised at how much fitness I had retained. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't a perfect workout, and I definitely lost some of my strength from my peak in February 2026. Regardless, I wasn't at my weakest and I certainly wasn't back at square one! I almost feel silly for letting my fear of progress lost hold me back for so long.

Get back to it. It's not too late and you're not to far gone.

I AM IN LOVE with this Mac Duggal dress for my reception 2nd look. Everything about this screams "garden party". That being said, its a little short for my liking and I'd prefer a midi in length.

Is that possible in alterations? Or are there ways to style the dress so it gives the illusion of a Midi? Any help appreciated 🫶🏻

Hi all, I'm selling my size 8 cocomelody satin midi dress with corset lace back. It has never been worn and its not altered. Its pretty decent quality and will look great on anyone looking for a reception dress/rehearsal dress/courthouse dress for an affordable price.

It didn't work for me bc we ended up going a different direction theme wise. Looking to sell this for 120 dollars + shipping. I've attached the model photos as a reference to what this dress looks like steamed and fitted.
