15 days to my wedding & my BM dresses JUST came in and guess what... NO ONE'S dress fits. NOT ONE. And the fabric is CHEAPER than the sample. How is this possible?????
No, they didn't gain weight & yes, they all got measured and their dresses were ordered according to the Alvina Valenta size chart!!!
WHAT DO I DO???????????

Re: BM DRESSES DON'T FIT
i'm soo sorry you're going through this!!! DEMAND that they make this alteration free of charge because of all the heartache you're going through. one thing is paying for a hem, another thing is having to change the entire dress because of their faulty measuring system. its not your fault so SOMEONE should pay!!! i'm sorry you're going through this again, hope it all works out!!!!

I doubt there's enough time for the designer to send you new dresses. I would DEMAND all your money back (obviously it's their mistake since NONE of the dresses fit and they were measured for them!!!).
But you really need to head out to Macy's, Saks, Bloomies, Lord & Taylor, Nordstrom, David's Bridal, etc. and buy off the rack dresses.
SO SORRY YOU ARE GOING THROUGH THIS!
But everything happens for a reason, so hopefully you will find GORGEOUS dresses for a great price AND will get all your money back from the original dresses.
Can you post pics of them so that we can try to help you find another option?
I agree, and they better give you back the money too. They can't fight you on this one. Good Luck and start shopping.

I HAD THE TOTAL opposite thing happen to us... we ordered Alvina Valenta dresses too and they all have come in about 100 sizes too big. I wonder how that happened to you! I am soo sorry I hope they can rush order new ones to the bridal shop!

Def try a corset!! That sounds like the best idea so far, Im so sorry that this happened. You'd be amazed at the amount those corsets can suck in good luck

Re: BM DRESSES DON'T FIT
Did you make sure that the dress shops were certified vendors for alvina valenta? If they are a different fabric than the sample- they may be reproductions.
Get your money back!!!

Re: BM DRESSES DON'T FIT
wow what a pain! I agree with the above poster, if worse comes to worse,make then refund you for the dresses and order the BM dresses from anntaylor.com. They are tea length as well and similar to the valenta dress. They also sell sashes to their dresses. Good Luck
