Wedding dress disaster... UPDATE!

Just need to vent... I bought my wedding dress 7 days ago. I love it so much, i felt so good when I tried it on. My consultant at davids bridal did not button it all the way because she said there were too many buttons to do... she just grabbed both sides of the dress and pulled it together and said...

Just need to vent... I bought my wedding dress 7 days ago. I love it so much, i felt so good when I tried it on. My consultant at davids bridal did not button it all the way because she said there were too many buttons to do... she just grabbed both sides of the dress and pulled it together and said it fit perfectly. She never took my measurements. So I paid $800 for the dress, Ithought it fit perfectly because I was so comfortable in it, but in reality there were huge gaps of areas not buttoned so I couldn't feel the true fit. I went back to davids bridal today for alterations. The seamstress went to button my dress up and guess what? It's too tight. It will button, but just barely and it is incredibly uncomfortable. It is a size 16 and does not go up to an 18. So here I am, my wedding in 25 days, and the dress I bought doesn't fit. I didn't gain weight and I wore the same exact undergarments- remember, I only bought the dress 7 days ago!! So now they're going to order (continued)

    Thank you everyone!! I'm so glad I don't have to worry about it anymore!

    @Judi you're being charged to change the size? That's unfair!

    I'm so sorry this happened to you with short time until your day. I ordered my dress, went a week later to pick it up and the alterations lady said it was too big even tho that was the size I tried on and she said the sales girl should had me try on the size lower. Had to order the next size down and we'll see how that fits.

    I haven't read all the comments so I don't know if this was suggested but maybe think about changing the back of the dress to a tie up (like a corset). I ended up doing that to my dress and every time someone commented on it they mentioned how much they loved the back.

    PS please excuse my silliness in my picture

    ETA: Just read the comments, so happy it worked out!! You look gorgeous by the way!
