I ordered my dress Oct 2015. Just picked it up yesterday. When I tried it on in store, the sample was a size 12, it was a little snug but for the most part fit well. They ordered me a 14 and it fits tighter than the 12 did. I honestly do not think I gained weight, and if I did it was no more than 5 pounds. They said the other sample dress has been stretched out with people trying it on (how is this possible with lace and beading..?) and that my measurements are for a 14 dress (even though the zipper won't go up where the beaded belt is). The top clasp will close though. I was pretty much humiliated while trying my dress on yesterday. Literally my worst nightmare. I'm on my period so they said that could play a factor?! And that a seamstress should be able to take the sides out a little.
My wedding is May 21 this year and I pretty much need to lose at LEAST 15 pounds by then. Has anyone else been in this situation?!
