Well this is my second dress after my first was ruined so i decided to go for a cheap option with just having us and our kids well it came but to big. I was going to send it back and get smaller size but was worried it might come back different or smaller than what i want Do you think this is silly im willing to get it altered or shall i just send it back Help xxDress arrived 1

    It is beautiful!! Maybe take it to a seamstress ASAP and see if they can alter it as personally this would mean it is custom fit, a smaller size may not fit perfectly but alterations will. If they can't aler it then order a smaller one xx

    I agree. Take it to a seamstress and see what she can do - I’m sure she’ll be able to take it in unless is waaaaaaaay too big. Good luck!

    As the others have said, I would take it for alterations then you know it's perfectly tailored as a smaller size may still need tweaking

    Yeah definitely find a seamstress in that case. They will definitely be able to help and make it fit you perfectly. I love the detailing on the top - so pretty!

    It's really pretty. As it's only a little too big, I'd just get it altered - you might find that the next size down is too small and that can't be made bigger - and nothing is less flattering than a too-small dress! Maybe ask a seamstress now to check it's alterable, but then get it altered closer to your date. If you're anything like me, you may change size a lot in the next year or so!

    Nothing wrong with mail order either - my dress was mail order and I loved it far more than the more expensive ones I tried on in a boutique!

    Not necessarily your fault. Some companies can fluctuate hugely in sizing, especially cheaper ones. I ordered 2 dresses from the same company to try on, both similar cuts and in the same size - one was slightly too large and the other was so tiny I couldn't even get it on!

    Michelle it's absolutely stunning. And I really love the lacey sparkly top. It's so subtle and glam. I agree with the rest of the ladies on here, seamstress have it fitted better. Enjoy your day!!!! Xx

    Yeah I've looked at like a half up do in waves and a full updo in curls with so loose bits framing my face. My hubby to be said he's arranging a lovely night somewhere so I'm sure it'll be fine, I think it's because I've had my hand in everything but this. Haha. And we decided to bring the wedding forward just a few weeks ago. Xxx
