Asking for my bff. She bought her gown at david's bridal and she brought it home and tried it on just to see if she would need alterations. She definitely needs them. But we got curious - how many brides here did not need to make any alterations to their gowns?

    I didn’t. I got a sample dress and it fit perfectly, I’m tall and it had a corset/lace up back so was adjustable. Saved sooo much money which I spent on shoes!

    From what I know, many wedding dresses are name for rather taller women. 5”7 and up. And I am missing a full foot, so I have to pay 💸 🤣 🤷🏻‍♀️ I think most brides has to alter them, if the dress fits it’s magic!

    I am 5'9 and only needed the bustle added. The bodice fit my size and because it was a ballgown, even though I have wide hips, it did not have to be altered.

    I will only need to have the straps on mine taken up a little, they are a little big. But I am going to do a wedge shoe to keep from having to take up the hem. Everything else is good. Granted I’m 10 months out with Thanksgiving and Christmas in between soooooooooooo.... lol
