My dress is here

View quoted message No justification needed here hunny! It looks gorgeous and your going to look stunning in it. At the end of the day, as long as your happy!

View quoted message I got it at Sophie's Bridal in Kitchener Ontario It was at the edge of my budget but i coulsent find anything that was a lower price that made me feel as wonderful.

I just got my dress back last week and I tried it on Thursday. I was really anxious about how big they ordered mine too. Honestly I thought they were just trying to make an extra buck for my alterations.
It was quite big when I tried it on, but it made sense as to why. When they took my measurements, I was wider in the hips. They said that it would be easier to adjust it everywhere else, so it’s better to get a size that fits my hips. All dresses need some alteration.
And like others have said, wedding dresses are sized a lot bigger!
Your dress is gorgeous! You’re going to be a stunning bride!

WOW!! ITS STUNNING!! Where did you go to purchase the dress?

View quoted message Love it!!!

Heres a photo its not the best

View quoted message Wedding dresses are sized smaller! I typically wear a dress size 12-14 and my wedding dress is a 18wide and its tight.
So dont stress about the size until you try it on! It will likely fit better than you think!

My friend had a very similar dress for her wedding, it's gorgeous in real life the pic doesn't do it justice. Please share when you try on

View quoted message I hope yours worked out okay I'm afraid mine will be humungous they ordered a 20 and all other dresses I've tried on are a 14-16 my mom assured me that wedding dresses are sized smaller but it still makes me anxious

View quoted message I'm picking it up this Friday.

Go pick it up!!! I got nervous for no reason as well when I heard that my dress was in! You'll feel better once you've tried it on again!

Haha i hear you on that one!! Im super short (5'1) and well my alteration bill was just abit more then half of what i paid for my dress!

Book in your alterations ASAP.. I booked mine in i believe in November and the lady thanked me so much as June they are crazy busy due to weddings/ and grad season.. I never thought about Grads.

I think we all have anxiety about our dresses once they finally arrive as it has been so long since we last wore them. I had anxiety that mine wouldn't fit, that I wouldn't like it as much or that it was ordered in the wrong colour. As soon as I got to my fitting and saw that it was the right colour and put it on, I was in love all over again! I am sure you will be too! It is a beautiful dress and you will look great!

You might get a deal through the seamstress at your bridal salon but seeing as they know their products best it might be a good idea to stick with them anyway.

I love it!! Mine just came in too I'm going to get it today, eeee!! Don't worry too much about it, everything will be all good and it'll fit ad there's plenty of time for alterations still Just gotta clear away the negative comments and believe everything will be good or wedding planning can get too stressful!

View quoted message If it's the one you will love it every time you put it on that's how it was with me

View quoted message Thanks .I do have a seamstress lined up if the one at the shop is too much

I get my dress in August and I'm just worried I won't really love it! I tried on a ton of dresses and I just needed to pick one already! But, I think once alterations are done and the dress fits YOU it will look amazing no matter what.

If the store you bought your dress in is has a seamstress it could be cheaper that way depending on their rates. If it is, find one off site! There is plenty of little seamstress shops or even people who do it out of their home that could give you a decent price.

View quoted message I'm sure it's fine it was just a dream I double and triple checked it would be ordered in the right colour it should be fine it's just a matter of going to get it my salon is in Kitchener and only will let me go get it on a weekday

If you ordered champagne and it came in white/ivory, I would be calling the bridal salon/going in and making a stink about that. It's not the dress you ordered! If I receive my dress in a few months in white (I ordered mine in a champagne as well), I'd be furious! I am so sorry that you are going through this.

I'm just nervousi had a dream it came way too big and in white...I ordered it in champagne

Gorgeous dress!

I was concerned about the cost of alterations as well. I ended up doing it with my bridal salon where I got the dress, because I'm from out of town and they were going to be very accommodating. I had a lot of lace on the bottom of my dress so I was worried about how much it was going to be. In the end, it wasn't too bad (only $300 (I also paid a bit more because of the out of town thing)) as they have tricks to make everything come together!

It’s a beautiful dress!

I think its always daunting to have to do alterations. But if you go to a seamstress who knows what she's doing, she'll end up doing a lot of the solution thinking for you!

Don't stress!
