Dress fit concerns

Kd3752, on March 9, 2025 at 7:20 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 2
Hello, I picked my wedding dress up today and I am concerned that the cup sizes seem too small. I am wondering if the designer sent the wrong size perhaps? I know the salon ordered the dress in a size 14. It is a Maggie sottero dress and the size chart for the dress says a size 14 has a cup size of 41 inches. My current measurement is 41. They originally ordered up a size because my hip measurement was larger. The dress I tried on initially was a size 8 or 10 (can’t remember which). It did not close at all and was clipped on. I am attaching a picture of that because to me, the cup sizes on both of the dresses look the same, even tho my actual ordered dress is several sizes larger. I feel like I am spilling out of the dress and also like a lot of my chest area is showing and like maybe the torso is even too short on the dress. Is it possible that the wrong size was delivered? For reference I have lost 6 pounds between the first dress (store sample in blush with ivory overlay) and my actual dress which is all ivory. I am not sure what to do because I did leave the store today with my dress. When I mentioned my concerns about the cup size she said they could put a larger cup in at alterations next month, but I am still worried there is just not enough fabric to cover my chest. And I am reading online that it can be very difficult to increase the size of the bust. And I am not sure if I have any recourse if the wrong size was delivered because I did sign for and leave with my dress today. I will attach the store sample dress and my actual dress below.

Any advise or insight would be appreciated. The first pic is the store same le in size 8 or 10. And the last is my dress in what is supposed to be a 14. The cup sizes seem very small to me for a dress that is supposed to have a cup size that is my exact fit.

    Yes, I agree, the cups aren't holding you in. Did you raise the issue at pick up? Hopefully they will rectify and resolve your concerns.

    Hi thank yo for your response. Yes I raised the concern and the consultant said “they will take it in on the sides and it will raise them up”. Which didn’t make sense to me because raising them up will just make more show in my opinion. And then she said they would remove the smaller liners and add larger ones but that doesn’t solve the underwire issue and the cup being too small. I took the dress with me because otherwise they have a 250 storage fee. I am wondering if I call them first thing Tuesday when they open again if I can reiterate my concerns. I’m afraid this may be something that their alterations department may not be able to fix because of the style of the dress. I’ve read that if you are larger than a b cup the consultant should ask the designer to “open up the cups” but they didn’t do that to my knowledge. I am a 34 dd
