Dress Alterations

When I don't have much to do, it just makes me think even more - which is not a good thing

Question for you gals -

When I got my dress, the size I tried on was a 10. It fit really snug (she was able to close it, but I couldn't breathe too much and it was too small on the chest - way too much cleavage). So, she measured me, and based on that ordered a size 12 (also assuming that the top would then be able to better fit).

FH and I are planning on joining the gym again in the upcoming week, and I'm hoping to lose upto 10 pds before the wedding.

So here's my concern - now that the dress is a size 12 (which will be a tiny bit loose on me I'm guessing but probably fit good), once I lose let's say 10 pds, will it be a pain in the butt to alter? Or should I not worry about this, and this is a normal amount of alteration?

i wouldn't worry about it .... the alterations people know what they're doing, regardless of how much you lose

I've heard that its not difficult to bring a dress down 2 sizes. But I'd also have to assume that it depends on the type of dress. 10 lbs shouldn't be a huge issue to alter though! Good luck

Phhhhew - thanks!

def not a problem!! My dress was a size 12 that was ordered and the model fit well but a bit snug at 10...now they are doing alterations with the size 12 and it's fitting perfectly...the seamstresses really know what they are doing...not to worry!

Thanks for posting this - good to hear someone else is getting the same sizes altered

Now I just need to wait until March for my dress to come in - feels like forever!
