I have not yet gone dress shopping, but will soon. Have any of you bought dresses that were much bigger than your normal street size and then had it altered? I understand that some wedding dresses are cut small (a size 2 street size may fit into a size 4 or 6 bridal gown). But realistically, how big a size (range) can I go and still be able to get it altered without being ridiculous?
I''m 5''0" without shoes and 103 pounds. I see that many discount websites have sample dresses in size 10. Are seamstresses/seamsters(?) actually magicians in disguise and can they transform a size 10 into a size 0 or 2? Let''s assume I get a dress with no beading. Ok, then let''s assume that I do get a dress with beading in a size 10 (that would probably cause the seamstress to ask me to leave the shop right)?
I guess that to alter a 10 into a 2 would probably cost more than I''m going to spend on my dress in the first place. Hmm.
