Help! I'm in a bind...I am in a wedding in 2 weeks...I've been losing weight over the past 6 months, so we ordered the smaller size and I've lost a ton of weight, but most of it in my lower body! The top of it (around my back/chest) will fasten, but is too scary to try to zip! It apparently can't be taken out. I can exchange it for the next size up, but it will need to be taken in at the top (same place other one is too small!) but if I do that they need to have the dress today. I'm still losing weight weekly and don't want to stop, so...does anyone know of a place that I could take the bigger dress to to be taken in with a quick turnaround that I could put off until the week before the wedding? THANKS!

What can I do next?

exchange and get te larger size. have it altered to fit the size you are while in a arms out in front shoulder height. During the wedding you will be doing a lot a moving , huging people with both hand and pulling the dress up and forward. You will be dancing too. You want to be 100% confortable moving about during the wedding, and have fun. ( not giveing it a second about your dress. A dress that look tight could be noticable, & does not look great. You want to look great and comfortable. Get the larger size today, ASAP
I helped my daughter get a dress for her wedding. It needs to be comfortable. As you loos more weight the last week it will add confort

The wedding accessory superstore does alterations on cave creek and rose garden. I used to work there, but ask for Mari she is the best. They have a great turn around time but just give them a week just in case you need to touch it up again. Website, thewasonline.com

There is a place on the South West corner of Thunderbird and Tatum that was amazing in helping me with a last minute fiasco with my wedding dress, where it needed to be taken OUT a few days before the wedding, On a very intricate couture dress.She did an amazing job and had it done for me before the wedding. It has been a few years since my wedding, but I noticed the store is still there when I drive through the area. I might even see if she can take the current one out for you, as I had several other people tell me I could not take mine out, and would have to get a new dress... I was heart broken as there would have been no way to get another Maggie Sottero dress in a week! But she fixed it and all was good! I would go in and give her ( or anyone) a heads up to your needs and not just stop in on the last week though!
