I'll try and keep this brief!
My cousin is getting married at the end of May and sent us a link to the dresses she wants the bridesmaids to wear (at our expense but that's another thread!). She let us know ages ago and I bought it in a size 14. When I tried it on I realised that I couldn't do the back up. I am very broad backed! However from the front it looks like it fits ok iyswim. So in my wisdom I bought extra material from the same company and reckoned I could get a tailor to sort it for me. I was a bit too confident in this belief and waited until the school holidays to sort it. I went today and she said I should just size up as my bust is too big. I went online to do a try before you buy service (which I should have done in the first place I now realise) only to discover that all sizes apart from 12 are out of stock! So here's my query, should I keep the size 14 and the extra material and go to a bridal tailors and see if they can help? Has anyone been in a similar position and had dresses altered to go bigger? I have signed up to receive updates when the dresses are back in stock but I am still slightly panicking. All advice greatly appreciated 🤞🏿
