Hi all!
Trying to decide on my dress and alteration options are important for me in selecting my dress given my bust (36 DD, I've had some alteration horror stories in the past). I am measuring a 12 bust, 6 waist, 6 hips.
I have been to several bridal stores. I definitely should have asked them some more questions (was a little overwhelmed). Majority of stores I went to insisted I would order a 12 and they'd take in the rest of the dress.
Two other very established shops I went to said that taking in the dress that significantly is often much more complicated and said that they would open the cups or order a split size instead. They both mentioned that they've had other larger busted brides have fairly significant issues at times with taking in their dresses.
Curious what opening up the cups even means and what other larger busted brides have done. Thanks for reading!
