    I had my first fitting today, and it is 7!!! days untill my wedding. And the dress is too tight, it barely zipped up, and I almost suffocated in it. Besides, because it is too tight in the waist, the built in belt would wrinkle horizontally, and all the fabric under the belt would wrinkle and jump up. When I first came and tried on the dress, the waist was PERFECT, and I told then no to ever touch it, because it didn't need to go anywhere. Only in the bust it was too big, and if I hold my arms up I am in risk of "something" jumping off the dress (it's strapless)...So the bust is still to big and a waist is couple inches smaller...I can't believe it.

    They promised to fix it by the 5th, so 2 days before the wedding. Idk, I feel horrible.

    Oh no!  I hope they get it fixed soon.  That is stressful, but I'm sure it'll work out!

    Finally a Date twin:)

    Don't worry. They can easily rework the dress.  I had my last fitting this Tuesday and she is actually doing 90% of alterations over the wkend.   She made sure it the fit was perfect and now she's doing all of the stitching, etc. including the bustle 

    It will be just fine.  Just Breathe, girlfriend.  Its gonna be alright:)

    @squeak35:

    Hi, Date twin! Thanks for cheering my up. I am so stressed about it.

    My concern is that I don't know if I can trust people, who spent a month doing a totally oposite thing to what I asked and needed, to fix it over couple days. It's like the weekend, then the 4th of July. I am freaking out :(

    Yes, I did get it back the very next day. I can't say it was perfect all over, but they definitely loosened it up a little. One side of the dress is a little weird, but as long as it fits I decided to not take a risk and take my dress away from them lol.
