Dress Problems

If they ordered the wrong size then they should make this right whether it be rushing the size 8 or waving your alterations fee. I know it's easy to say (bc I KNOW I would be FREAKING OUT too), but these ladies who do dress alterations deal with stuff like this all the time. I'm sure they will be able to do a beautiful job.

My mom is a seamstress and its amazing the kind of work they are able to do. I'm sure everything will work out. I would try to get $$ knocked off the alterations. They are the ones with 'experience'. They should have ordered you the correct size.
