Tell the bride the wedding can go ahead!


Thank you interweb friends, for your sympathy and your suggestions on how to fix this frock.
I bit the bullet and took Lsaspacey's advice (special 'mwah' to you!), and released the front darts, even though this meant undoing the overlocked and hand-stitched hem and pulling off the interlining. Ugh.

But it's worth it to have a wearable dress! I can move! (and eat, and laugh, and sit...)

Glad you fixed it, it's such a pretty dress. Two days ago I made a jacket I can't move in either. It's probably the best jacket I ever made.

Great fix. You look fabulous and more importantly, you'll feel fabulous!
