What Do I Do If My Wedding Dress Is Too Big?

There are a lot of things that can cause panic when it comes to your wedding dress in the weeks and days leading up to the wedding itself. One of those panicky moments is when you try your wedding dress on and -- gasp -- it’s too big. Whether it’s stress or just the general crazy schedule, it’s not an uncommon problem. But, don’t panic. There are plenty of things that you can do!

Top tips for a wedding dress that is too big

Here are some totally viable options that will help you to enjoy your special day when it comes to the idea of your wedding dress fitting just right.

● Have bra padding available: If the bust isn’t fitting quite like you remembered it, all you’ll need to do is just add in a bit of padding! Make sure that you have a few options available for this so that it doesn’t get too tight on you!

● Make sure you have a satin waist tie just in case: If it’s the silhouette of the dress that isn’t fitting right, you can disguise that easily by having a beautiful waist tie available. A sash or a belt can add an extra accessory and create that shape you’re going for.

● Consider a corset back: When you are getting your alterations, consider going for a corset back. While frustrating, they give you the best room for error and you’ll be able to adjust it and fine-tune it easily if your body has shifted a bit since your final fitting.

● Have a professional alteration expert on speed-dial: If you’re really feeling stressed about the fit, you’ll want to consider having your alteration expert on the phone with you on the day-of, or available to come last-minute if you need some help. Most adjustments can be done on your own, but having a professional’s advice to disguise or correct those small details can make a huge difference.

Your wedding gown is crucial to get right in every single detail. If you need help at the last minute with a dress that is suddenly too big, you can get it in the form of these tips and your best friend to help you hold your hand and breathe through it!
