Help!
I bought my dream wedding dress from an overseas designer on extreme sample sale discount. It's nicer than everything I ever thought I'd have. However, when I tried it on, it's too small. I can't move my shoulders at all (which means no arm movement whatsoever), and some of the button loops really have to stretch to make it.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could fix this? I haven't seen a seamstress yet, but I'm not seeing much of a seam allowance to let it out. Do you think trying to lose weight could help these particular areas?
