My dress came in early and I went on Saturday to pay the balance and have a 'pre fitting.' Well I was not happy. I did not lose a lot of weight but my dress was huge! I think it was ordered a size to big. There are so much alterations that need to be done because the top of the dress was so big. They said I should come in 5 weeks before the wedding for my first fitting. They said they could fix it but I am afraid they may not be able to fix it and it is going to cost a fortune in alterations. Did anyone else have this problem? I keep seeing other people's post that not many alterations need to be done with their dress.

Re: A little upset
Mine needs alot of work too, I'm a 2 and they ordered an 8, so its not even CLOSE to fitting me. Does your place cap your alterations? Mine does and most do...so something to ask so you don't get ripped off?

Re: A little upset
i found out when my girls ordered their dresses, that some were a size 2 on bottom, but a size 6 on top (according to the meaurements they take)...so maybe they had ordered the dress for the larger portion of your body, so that they could take in for the smaller portion? that sounds like what may have happened....either way, you're going to look awesome, and that's all that matters!! :)
good luck!

Re: A little upset
First off dont worry.
There should be a cap on alterations at your salon.
TALK TO THEM before you have any work done on the dress. Let them know your concerns and how you are feeling. If they are good they will be able to walk you through it and tell you UP FRONT how much the alterations will cost.
