Good morning all! A dear friend who is also a one of my bridesmaids recently informed me that her gown does not fit! She has had it almost 2 months and only tried it on last week. Her worst fear proved true. It does not fit. She has gained 20+ lbs. She plans on seeing a seamstress this week. She does not know this, but I spoke to 2 seamstress about it (different stores). They asked me questions and I showed them a pic. Both told me that it could not be altered to a bigger size!! I am so heart broken for her (at the thought she will be told this)!
Before I spoke with seamstresses, I told "M" that if she felt more comfortable (arms) she could add drop sleeves and maybe even a corset back. She expressed that she didnt want to be obviously different then the other bridesmaids.
So, I am here with a though/question! My MOH (sis) is wearing a different gown. Im wondering if we get another different gown Off rack-same color) for "M" is there a different "title" I can give her? Then there would be "reason" for the difference! I cant make her another MOH...that would hurt my sister but is there something else? I know this is all semantics....but in this case, I believe it would help her. She doesnt want to drop from wedding and there is no way we can order the same gown in a bigger size (only 3 weeks till wedding) so Im trying to be creative here!!!
Hoping to have a "save" to offer up if/when she is told that nothing can be done to her gown!
