so i was just talking to my mum as she never come with me to pick dress or come to shop with me to pick it up so when i have been trying it on i have sent her the pics

first she says to me i need to change my hair colour as dont look right with dress

then today she said do you want me to be really truth full and i said yes she said but i dont wont to upset you i said it was ok

i dont like the dress its two sizes too small its doesn't do your figure any justice, who told you it looked nice in shop i replied myself it fit me ok in the shop, vicky my moh and loads of costumers i think the one i tried on in shop was a diffrent size
it is not tight on the body when i wear it it just seems to sit on my hips funny but im waiting to have it fixed she then said well not really 1 would of bought one for 200 for you also it wasn't the only shop i would take it back and demand a refund or exchange but thats me i said to her a lot of people have told me it is very nice i like the dress i just need it taken out she then said the back of the dress shouldn't be that wide of ribbon its not letting it out its miles too small i told her it was a uk size 12 and im a 12/14 she then said they maybe have but are they really being honest im not being horrible then she said no its too small tke it back or give me the phone number and i'll phone them

im now only 46 days away from my wedding and she has not done anything to help me with the wedding all she has done is given me money for the dress i have not seen her since boxing day and wont see her to my hen party she dont even want to come to me when i get ready

Aww Hun I really feel for you. Unfortunately I can't relate cos my mum actually picked out the dress that I've gone with but even so, there's something about weddings that make a girl look to their mum for approval on things. I know I have with most things. If you love your dress 100% stick with it. If you think that there's an inkling she may be right then you still have a bit of time to sort an alternative out x x

natialie i am ok with it but i would maybe have liked a more wow dress but i dont have a budget for that and my mum wont give me and more money so i think i have to stick to this one as i dont see the shop changing it

thank you blushingbride2b i think today is just a bad day for me have now come down with a cold and cant keep anything down and just feel very bad and i already had issues with the dress that i was talking to h2b about like i dont know if i like it, if it suit me didnt think it was wow worried i wont lose the weight i need to and if people will like it

i do like it but dont love it it was not what i was looking for but all i could really get that i liked on my budget @jem1905

rite babe this is wat u gotta do.....................


one i agree with ure mum if its too small and they ordered u wrong size teir fault

two go back to th shop n try their dress on again and compare them! i did this cos i thought their dress fitted me better, but it ended up bein the girl puttin it on my wrong! do it asap x

i cant get to the shop @beck-mrs filth 2b my mum wont come and get me to take me there i have put this dress on 2 times since i got it home the pics of me in the shop were taken the day i picked it up and pics of me in orange bra were taken sunday

im in 2 minds about the dress i think but i really dont know how i will get to shop if i want to change it

i dont have any friends and taxi said £20-£30 i dont have that sort of money and will not take my dress with me on a bus or train lol,

this is a bm dress i had it made in to that colour the one they had in the store was green they don't stock ivory or this colour in the samples

Can you ring them to discuss it then, ask what measurements they have for you etc check they are correct? if they have got it wrong it's their fault, it's like a shop giving you a size 5 and a size 6 in the same box they would have to change it at their cost! no matter whether it's meant to be a bridesmaid dress or anything! The only other thing is you could turn to the internet? Sell your dress perhaps and get one off the bay of e or light in the box? even high st stores, even there's some gorge dresses on little woods you could pay off week by week? xx

You know yourself that it needs to be altered, judging by your pics I think it will look lovely once it fits right. I can't believe your mother has done this so soon before your wedding, you must be gutted. I personally don't think you have that much to take out. Have you got any seamstresses nearby. I found out the other day that there is one near me who is really cheap so ask around. Failing that a friend of mine is getting married on Friday and 2 weeks ago realised her dress was uncomfortably tight so she did something I would never normally recommend. She did the slim fast diet and now fits nicely into her dress having lost 6lbs. The problem with it is she's eating like a rabbit now to stop the weight piling on because it does at twice the rate.

I hope you find a solution Hun because I would be feeling like poo if my mum said that even if I knew deep down that it looked good it's the niggling doubt.

A US size 6 is UK size 10 hun xx

a US 6 is a UK 8 from what I'm seeing

the able says usa size 6 and underneath says uk 14 and next to it usa size 4 uk 12

Strange - I promise you, the conversion I posted is right xx

i would have to get 3 buses to get to shop im waiting for my mum to get back to me to see if she will help as she is the one who pointed it out to me really

why is the label saying it is a uk size 12 then? i measured the waist on dress and its 28inches

A couple of other ladies on here have been blunt, and to be completely honest I agree with them. I get the feeling you're not 100% happy. If you are then great, have the rip fixed, wear the dress and don't worry about what your mum says.

If you're not then it's up to you to sort out - I know money is tight but it's either sort something out to get it exchanged/altered or wear it and make do.

Ignore what the label says, there is variations on every brand, and every dress. I can go from a size 8 to a 12 in one shop.

Then it may just be a case of making do with what you have, I'm sure on the day you'll not notice as you'll feel amazing. It wasn't fair of your mum to say she didn't like it but not offer an alternative.

If the shop ordered you the wrong size it's kinda their fault hun xx

Can your other half not take you to the shop hun (if he drives?) I know he's not supposed to see dress but if you have it in a dress bag he won't see it anyway?

Feel for you, you must be panicking about it all. Don't worry, I'm sure everything will work itself out for you, fingers crossed you get it sorted xxx

If you go on Youtube you can find video's of how to lace up a wedding dress ;0) x

Oh hun I really hope the shop can sort it for you! You must be happy on your big day! xx

All the more reason you must push to get it sorted out! you have 6 weeks! Well 5 as you don't want to push it to the day before. xxx

If i was you....or your mum I would go arseholing in there and DEMAND they do something. OK the manageress runs the shop, but someone runs it in her absense.....they surely have the authority to put things right

That's what I was saying hun, they must have a deputy/Asst. mgr.

When I worked in a shop during my A levels and university, I was a weekend supervisor and in the absence of the manager or asst mgr I called the shots and made decisions on customer complaints.
