BM Dress Vent

Zimsgirl · April 2012

I'm so annoyed right now. I just got home to my parent's for the weekend. We picked up the BM dresses and my sisters tried them on. MOH 1's dress fits perfectly. No alterations needed but she may get cups sewn in for comfort. MOH 2's dress is a nightmare. It's like an inch off in the back and the hook popped off. I'm so annoyed because the alterations lady told my older sister (only one that had alterations done so far) that the bodice could not be taken out because of the way it's built. So my sister has to lose weight for it to fit. There's not enough time to get a new one rushed in. My older sister will be here tomorrow and her dress is done and pressed. I'm sure it still won't fit her because she doesn't care enough to quit drinking to lose the weight she needs to.

I don't mean to sound like a brat but it seems my own sisters (except 1) care enough to fit in their dresses (their only requirement as a BM). I'm just feeling really down and annoyed with the whole situation

I don't know but I really don't want them different at all. I'm praying the tailor can do something : Posted by Zimsgirl[/QUOTE]
Having the dress slightly different would be better than not having her in the wedding at all or with an entirely different dress, no?

She's just gonna have to lose the weight. Im tired of her being babied

Just a question, why didn't they try them on before and get the size that actually fit them without having to lose weight?

For some stupid reason David's Bridal call my BM to get another MOHs dress. They were supposed to mail it to me. Well, the BM's are twin sisters and live less than an hour apart so I thought it would get to the MOH quicker than if I had it. (I live almost two hours from the BM that needs the dress).
Well, that was in January and the MOH still doesn't have the dress! I'm about to panic and FI thinks my friends are flakes (apparently the are). I mailed a $15 check to the BM that has the dress and asked her to either use it to buy gas to take the dress to her sister or use it to mail the dress to her (and have it insured). I paid for both dresses to begin with! I feel like call DB and yelling at them for not following my instructions in the first place!

Have her wear spanx and stop drinking anything beyond juice or water. Also, have her watch how much salt she uses.

So you care more about the dresses being the SAME EXACT thing than your sister's comfort? Got it.

Really, a little lace or some kind of fabric that closely resembles/goes with the dress in the back will not make one bit of difference. No one will notice. I also like Megan's idea about the Spanx. Have her try the dress on with Spanx and see what happens.

You can't really force her to go on any kind of diet. It's something she has to want to do for herself. Even then, it might not happen before your wedding.

You are right. All she has to do is get the dress and show up. So right now it's on her. Other than giving her helpful suggestions I would just stay out of it because complaining that she doesn't fit will just make her feel worse.

I don't think you need to baby her, but demanding a BM lose weight for your wedding is kind of harsh. Whoever took the measurements is really to blame (unless your sister actually put on weight). I know you want perfection, but a small difference in the dress vs no MOH or BM seems dramatic.
