Tuesday I went to RK Bridal to try on my dress that I bought last month. I get there and I try it on with the seamstress and shes like 'Hmm...its a little tight around the hips' And I'm like, yeah thats weird the guy measured me and I have not gained any weight since then. And i know i have big hips and a big a$$et but I measure my hips at least once a month esp since I started planning the wedding. Anyway, the seamstress goes to find the head seamstress who comes over and is like 'hmm, you need at least 2 - 4 inches around your hips...the dress is not fitting right' So she opens unzips the back of the dress in front of the whole dressing room and her and the main seamstress are discussing about how much to let out, while the main seamstress re-measures me and starts shouting out my measurements :( I felt so embarassed. So in the end, the guy who originally ordered my dress ordered the wrong size and they have to re-order a new dress, which is way too big but they 'want to make sure it fits my hips' and then they can tailor the rest of the dress. And the worst part, besides being completely embarassed and my whole self esteem going out the window...the dress wont be in UNTIL JUNE 24!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!! I am so p**sed off!!!!

Unfortunately ordering dresses too big is common practice - ordering too big so they can charge for alterations. I would demand they don't charge for alterations (if they are) otherwise take it elsewhere.
