Yes, I am a late-fitter. BUT my fab new seamstress said it was definitely do-able! My alterations are just $72... taking in the boob-age (shockingly since I'm a DD) and a small bustle. I didn't think I'd want a bustle but I LOVE IT (no pics of that though.)

(See how big the boob area is?)

(Can you tell my seamstress is like 4 foot 8? LOL! NOT a good angle!)

I think I'm going to do this with my hair, but with big wavy curls:

Thanks guys! @VirginiaMarie, I LOVE the sweetheart... for some reason I find it looks much better than expected on larger chested and plus size gals! I did NOT expect that during my dress search!

The veil does go great with the dress! Great choice in that!

I am still lovin the price you got for the alterations! Btw, I have the same prob w/boobage. I have to go w/a larger size due to the "girls".

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE!! That's pretty funny about your seamstresses height. Oh and is your dress bustled in that one pick or just down?

@Curlysue It's just down... she did the bustle post-pic just to show me, we're not doing it til next time since I need to steam my crinoline, which may change it a bit (it's been in a bag for a while!)
