My dress is the Melissa Sweet Applique wedding gown from Davids Bridal. I purchased this dress back in late May and had my first alteration appointment last night. Needless to day, I am feeling defeated. I have no photos of myself in my gown, but I am mortified. The lady told me it fit great on me.. the gown is a size 12 and I am typically a 6-8 street size. It was falling off my top half. I had to tell them I wanted it altered on the sides and shoulders. My bust is large, they measured 40. This is part of my problem. Since it is a plunging neckline I am terrified I will look too bodacious.
Additionally, I had just started my period the day of my alterations. When I look into my own personal mirror my waist and belly are not that big.. and I feel okay.. it is just my bust that is so large. I am fairly short (5ft 3). I am just not feeling confident. I love my gown, it is beautiful but I am having major regrets. My wedding day is August 28th and I am trying to figure out what I can do to try and diminish my bust size and make them appear slightly smaller and just... overall better looking so I don't look like a potato. Any help?
