Hi there!
I just ordered my wedding dress for our Nov. 2022 wedding and I'm curious about alterations to made-to-measure gowns.
I found my perfect gown and could not be more excited but for my apprehension about its fit when it eventually comes in.
When I was measured at the store, it was after I had lunch with my parents, debating which of the gowns was "the one". We laughed, we cried, we celebrated with wine and light bites. 
While that was very fun, it did impact my waist measurement. I'm normally a straight 27", but they measured 28.5".
My one major concern is the gown has the most gorgeous beading on the corseted bodice. I don't want that to change or be negatively impacted if I do need to take the waist in (it's a strapless gown - I want it to be perfectly snug).
Does anyone have experience with this type of alteration? Heavily beaded corseted bodice with 1" - 1.5" needing to be taken in? Maybe this isn't a big deal, but I'm very protective of my gown already. Any thoughts or advice is greatly appreciated.
