My dress doesn’t fit :(

Kassidy, on March 16, 2025 at 3:10 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 7
Long story short, i ordered my dress online from Olivia Bottega (with my work life it was extremely difficult to take time off to go dress shopping or have my schedule align with any of my family/bridesmaids to go with me) so i opted for getting a dress online and giving my size customizations. I knew it was a risk doing this, but i found a dress I loved and felt that this was a sign that i should just go for it. Well anyways, it was delivered yesterday and it doesn’t fit, despite double and triple-checking my measurements making sure they were correct before sending them in (and checking them now to see if i happened to gain weight in the last 6 weeks).


I’ve been crying about it since trying it on yesterday and i’m just in full-panic mode. The wedding is in 39 days and the time to get it seen my a seamstress is running thin, and that’s even if it’s possible for it to get fixed. It’s clearly at least 2 sizes too big and i don’t think there’s any amount of crash dieting i can do to get me to fit in this in time. Any ideas? Or even just reassurance? i’m freaking out Smiley sad My dress doesn’t fit :( 1

    If the dress looks okay from the front, maybe a seamstress could either add different illusion material to complete the back or could add straps instead of illusion material. Are you able to request a replacement dress due to an obvious mismatch of sizing? That would seem to be a significant error on their part, especially if the designer is supposed to provide a fit based on your measurements. If they can offer a different design quickly, you maybe could check that style and see if it would be worthwhile to get.

    It looks beautiful from the front!! the only problem is the back 😓. i did message the company even though its a pretty strict no-returns policy on custom items but even with it being so close to the wedding day there wouldn’t really be much they can do anyway. i’m not really sure what i’m expecting to get out of emailing them but hopefully when i meet with a tailor on wednesday i’ll have some options that wont completely change the dress

    Unfortunately i don’t have the money to spend on a back-up wedding dress 😣 the dress i bought was already extremely out of my budget and non-returnable/refundable and that’s why im stressing to find a solution

    One woman posted pictures of the dress she said she got from Royce Bridal that was horrible. So people need to make sure they get a good overview of the level of quality of the dresses.

    If the only issue is that it doesn't button up the back, your seamstress will be able to replace the mesh illusion back with new mesh, so it will button.

    Don't stress. This can be done.

    If you want to buy a wedding dress online, Royce bridal is the right choice! The quality of the wedding dress is excellent, the style is novel, and the size fits well. It makes me feel confident on my wedding day!

    The wedding dress from Royce bridal is really amazing! It looks slimming and elegant on me, and the details are perfectly handled. The price is also very attractive. The cost-performance ratio is extremely high!
