So ive always been a stick figure. I told the woman measuring me that im not going to gain weight before the wedding, ill prob lose weight bc thats what happens when im stressed. So i tried on my dress for this first tike and it fell off of me...they had to clip it to stay up...its prob 2 sizes too big. Now i have to pay the full 300 alteration cap to fix the dress. In my opinion, i feel like i shouldnt have to pay that much bc they ordered a humongous dress for a size 0 person....do u think i should make an issue of this? Not only does paying an extra 300 bother me, but i felt so much anxiety and disapointment when i tried on my gown...i felt like i was trying on a sample not my own gown...im worried bc there is so much elaborate beading and banding that im worried it wont come out looking right.

Re: my wedding gown is the wrong size...
I honestly would make an issue of this because it's not your fault that they ordered a bigger size. You should not have to pay for their mistake. I would explain this to them and see what they say. Me personally I would not take this issue too lightly. And speak to them to find out if the alterations will change the original dress because you mentioned that there is elaborate beading on the dress.
I think you have the right to express your concerns to them.

I would make it an issue. If you told them that you wanted the smaller size then I would tell them to re order you that size or do your alterations for no charge.

Re: my wedding gown is the wrong size...
they convinced me to order a size up and guess what it was big! ive never heard of two sizes up!! that's just not right. i would speak to the manager directly because if ur a size zero no way would a size four work for u!

Re: my wedding gown is the wrong size...
That's really disappointing. Did they have you sign off/initial on your measurements when placing the order? That's the tricky part because some bridal shops have a statement on the measurement form that says you agree to the size they are ordering.

Re: my wedding gown is the wrong size...
Thanks ladies :) Im going to say something. These contracts they make up are crazy... I left it in the hands of the professional to order the right size..what the heck do i know about bridal dress measurements- the manager who measured me should order the right size! I wouldnt be mad if it was a little baggy, but they had to clip it to stay on.... i cringe at the thought of them chopping away all that beading...
