OK, here's the situation.  I ordered a dress in March for my sisters wedding in November.   I knew that there was a good chance i would be pregnant by then (which I am).  I told the girl this at David's Bridal (they are evil) and she suggested i order two sizes up.  I went to try the dress on last night and i can't even get it zipped.  The wedding is 6 weeks away and I don't think there is enough time to order a new from DB.  I have an appt. with a seamstress tonight to see if the dress can even be let out (DB says it can't).


Worst case scenario I am going to need to order a dress that WILL fit me even if it doesn't match the other girls.  Here is a picture of the dress all of us are wearing.  The dresses are black.

Are there any online stores that I can order a bridesmaidey type dress from that would arrive relatively quickly that you know of?

I wonder if you could find separates somewhere and then just have a seamstress add in the the beading?

I hoping that the seamstress will have some tricks of the trade that she can use to make the dress bigger.  I'm not holding my breath though because knowing my luck, it will be a problem.

that's so weird to me--usually when you buy a bridesmaid dress, they try to get you to order it 3 or 4 sizes too big, even when you aren't planning on getting pregnant.  that way they can charge you an extra $100 or so to alter it down to your size. 


when i was in my cousin's wedding a few years ago, i was about a size 2/4.  the girl in the bridal shop insisted i order my dress in an 8, and then they had to completely remake it to fit me.

That's why I have absolutely no faith in David's Bridal what so ever.  They stick you with a girl that doesn't know her A$$ from her elbow and expect her to know how to properly fit a dress.  I'm so angry right now, it's not even funny.  I have heard so many horror stories about them, it's ridiculous.
