So my dress arrived YAYY! However, I went to pick it up and it did not fit…at all! The stomach area was so big and the top/boob area did not even come close to zipping up!  The recommended me getting a size 8 because of my boobs so i expected the stomach area to be big but I really didnt think the top wouldnt be this small because I not huge up top.  The seamstress assured me that she would make sure my dress fits. I am planning on losing 10 lbs before the wedding which may help some but not much  because I have implants so no matter how much weight I lose I wont lose any boobs! haha. I do lift weights so I figured if I stop lifting weights maybe I can lose some of my back muscles and on top of losing 10 lbs it will probably fit better but of course I am freaking out.

Has anyone had major alterations and it work out fine in the end??

I haven’t had this issue on my wedding dress, but on my last bridesmaid’s dress I wanted to order my normal size, but the saleslady pushed me into ordering 1 size down, so the dress would “hug my curves”properly. The stomach fit great, the top did NOT fit at all. My alterations lady worked her magic and closed the gap for me! I did eat healthier that week, but really 1 week of dieting doesn’t make a huge difference for me. I hope everything turns out well for you!
