I bought a Mori Lee dress on sale for ~$170 on clearance at a bridal shop a few months ago. My wedding is in 6 months. When I tried the dress on in the shop of course it seemed a little big, also very heavy because it's silk. It's a corset and we pulled it in as far as it would go and it was slipping off slightly, but I didn't think anything of it. They told me it was a size 8, which I figured was okay.. a little big but nothing to freak out about. I'm a street size 0/2... last night I went and checked my receipt, trying to find out the exact material of the dress (worried about rain damaging it), and noticed that the dress is size 10. Holy crow, is it even going to be possible to alter that without the alterations costing more than I paid for the dress? I'm panicking. Our budget is so small, I can't afford a whole new dress! Does anyone have an input? What should I do?! I have an appointment to just try on the dress on Monday, but haven't officially talked to a seamstress, and the one the shop offers is always unavailable.
Edit to add: oops! I made a mistake. It's satin, not silk :P
