Soo, I posted about ordering this dress for my wedding in fall:
David's Bridal - Tulle Tea-length Dress BR1004
I had ordered it in the smallest size they had, a size 4. I just received my package today and the dress is really beautiful, it looks exactly like it does on the website!
BUT:
It´s too big on me. I wasn´t exactly sure what my US dress size is. Usually the smallest size a store has fits me just fine when it comes to dresses! But apparently I`m a US size 2? In German sizing, I´m typically a 34 (or XS) in dresses, which does convert to a US size 4 according to the website I checked! How weird that it still doesn´t fit me
The top part, boob area of the dress is ok, with wearing a padded strapless push up bra underneath it´ll be ok. I didn´t wear a bra when I tried it on.
BUT, I have a very small waist, so it´s not as fitted on me as it is on the model. Also, I was unsure about the length of the dress from the beginning, so I had already planned on getting it shortened to knee lenght.
Do you guys think/know if alterations like that are always possible on any dress? I´m especially worried about them not being able to really shorten the tulle material that´s on top. I mean, tulle is so fragile!
So, all in all I want the dress to be taken in like 3 inches? (rough guess) at the waist so it´s really form fitting there, and then shortened to knee length.
Cause right now, as beautiful as the dress itself is, I look like a little girl trying on her mommy´s wedding dress
