Ok, so I had my first alteration appt today. When I purchased my dress, it fit perfectly except for needing to be hemmed. Well, I have since lost 7 lbs, which I thought was NBD.. now my dress needs to be taken in 5 inches around the top! I am shocked.... But on the bright side, the hem, bustle, and the top taken in is only costing me $110. I had budgeted double that. Yay
