I went to David's Bridal today to pick up my dress. I was super excited and wanted to try it on to make sure that the petite length was what I wanted. I'm 5'1", so the regular length just doesn't look quite right on me. When I was in the store originally, I tried it on as a regular length, which fit just fine. When I ordered, I asked if the petites are smaller and was told that they're not. Well, they are. My dress does not fit.
They exchanged it for the next size up and it will be in at the end of July. They're holding on to the smaller size for me, in case I manage to loose enough weight to fit into it. I'm not sure how long they'll hold it. I guess if I'm still a 14P at the end of July, that'll be the dress size I get. I looked up the measurements for my dress, and I doubt I'll be in the 12P. I would need to lose 2 inches in my bust (the part that doesn't fit). That's impossible, right? Two inches, just from my bust, in about 6 weeks?
Either way, it's their own damn fault for telling me to order the wrong size. I just felt so terrible when I was told that there was no way it would close.
