Dress sizing!

April, on September 19, 2019 at 2:21 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 5
So today, I picked up my wedding dress. (After ordering, haven’t had it altered yet) As I expected, it fits almost perfect.. except for my hips.. it’s a bit tight on my hips and is a little too big on my waist and shoulders.... has anyone else had to have their dress let out a bit?? There’s like 3” of fabric on the seams for them to work with and I even had someone from their alterations department look at it and said she’d only have to let it out about an inch on my hips and that it would be no problem at all, I don’t know why but the thought of having to let the dress out gives me so much anxiety... even though they told me if I size up it’s going to be way more work because then they have to alter the entire dress.... ahhhhhh

    You have plenty of time to lose a tiny bit in your hips to feel more comfortable. I would give it time.

    Letting a dress out is absolutely no big deal at all, that's why they leave the excess fabric! I wouldn't bank on losing weight to make the dress fit. That's a lot of pressure to put on yourself and the hips are a difficult place to lose weight from. It could also just be your bone structure and not fat that you could even lose. I would wait until 2-3 months before the wedding before having any alterations done though.

    Thank you! I guess this is the type of reassurance I’m looking for 😂 I’ve always had a big butt 🙄 and I had to have my prom dress let out in my hips as well so I am not sure why I feel so stressed about my wedding dress!

    Altering such an important, and often times expensive, garment would make anyone nervous! I just dropped my dress off for alterations on Monday and my nerves are a wreck about it lol.
