Freaking out :( Dress is too tight. Pictures included.

First of all you are not pear shaped - you have a lovely hour glass figure! I would call the bridal shop and explain your concern. Talk to alterations and see if there is any room to have the dress let out or find out how long it would take to order the right size. You great in it though!

First breathe. Your dress is pretty and i see what u mean about your hip area. I have the same issue. First you could try going and getting a slimming slip that will tighten your hip area a bit. I did this got mine at Walmart for 9.00 second you can try is take your dress to a different seamestress or Taylor and see what they can do. Dont orderer a new dress in a bigger size then u will have more issues. . my dress was tight in the hip area my seamstress took out the pleats in the lining and it gave me enough room. I plan on wearing tummy control pantyhose along with my slip.. Also when u sit dont try to do it with out lifting your dress up. I did that and can sit comfortably. . hope this helps u.

My dress was let out in the hip area and I was REALLY concerned because it's ruched and I didn't think it would let out smoothly. BUT it came out gorgeous and I can actually sit down in it now without worrying I'm going to bust it open.

Do you have the measurements plus the measurements for the dress? If they don't match up thats for sure a dispute ! I'm not sure if you signed a contract or what but just something to look into- beautiful dress !

Girl, you have an incredible figure, and you are rocking that dress! That said, it looks inhumanly tight in the waist and hips, and I can't imagine you'll be comfortable and happy all day and night like that. I'd really go back to the shop, make a big stink about it, and see what they can do about ordering the next size up. You requested that size, and they said "no, trust us, we know better". Welp, in this case, they didn't, and I think they need to make it right. Like PP said, if you signed any sort of agreement (I know I had to when I got my dress), it should have some language in there regarding sizing, and they just might be accountable for a re-order. I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice, but I'd def go back there and speak to the manager or owner about it.

My bridal shop made me sign something that said the size I chose is on me and basically they are not responsible if it doesn’t fit. That being said they didn’t pressure me to choose a specific size. See if there is anything they can do by way of reordering. If the wedding is in June then it may not arrive in time and letting out the hips is a safer choice. Plus the top seems to be a perfect fit so you’d probably need additional time to take in the top which would definitely be pushing the timeline. Go to a tailor and see if they think they can let it out a couple inches.

Wow wow wow first your dress is so beautiful I kinda have dress envy. You looks stunning I hope you are able to fix the problem and be comfortable

Did you figure out a solution ? If so what was it?
My dress is too tight in hips too I can’t hardly walk.
