Dress doesn't fit in the bust

You could consider turning it into a corset back instead of a zipper. It will give you a little bit more flexibility with the sizing of the top.

I agree with Jersey Jen -- corset back could definitely work.

I have a similar problem. My dress fits me perfectly besides around my ribcage. I'm already pretty skinny and don't have any weight to lose around that area. My sales consultant told me the seamstress will be able to take it out in the back. So we'll see how that goes. I'll probably have my first fitting in February. I'm thinking that if worse comes to worst, they can make a keyhole back for me. That'll be really awesome. Maybe you can do that with yours as well.

Nothing to add but change your avatar to something other than the rings! They are associated with spam/trolls and it will help you get more responses.

I wish I had this problem lol. Corset back should fix this for you

For that small a change, you may well just be able to have the bust let out a bit. That's what I did with mine. The seam allowances were enough so that this could be done without needing to change it to a corset back. You may want to check with your alterations person about whether this would work for you.

I like the idea of the corset back however I'm not sure if it would work with the style and material.

You might be able to alter a minimizer bra to not show. A good minimizer can shrink you 2-3 inches.

Hmmm with your dress I do not see a corset back working. Have you had any alterations yet? They may be able to let it out enough, and if not, they are the pros who can really recommend the best thing to do to work with your particular dress.

My dress has the same back!!

I need to try whatever birth control you are on.
