My Wedding Dress is Huge on Me!

So ladies here is the deal - bought my wedding dress last November (my wedding is this December). I was a bit antsy and at the time we were trying for an October date. Anyways, I was post-baby, still had some extra weight on and it wasn't coming off so easily. And I ordered my dress two sizes smaller than I was at the time thinking that I would loose "some" weight. However, within the past few months the lbs have melted off me (I dunno why) I havent been doing anything differently. BUT my dress is huge on me. I got it at David's Bridal and know if I take it there I might be paying just as much for alterations as I did for the dress. Any thoughts or advice?

    My dress was huge on me too!  I bought it a size big off the rack, then a lost about 25 lbs so then it was about 3 sizes too big!  I took it to Fashion Stitch and she did an awesome job...you wouldn't even know it was so big.  She took in about 6 inches.  She charged me $200 for alterations which I thought was very reasonable.  If you take somewhere where they know their stuff then I think you have nothing to worry about!!!
