A number of alterations can be made:
-
Side seams and Back Seams - The side seams and back seam in the torso can be taken in or let out to make a wedding dress fit a bride. This is true even for gowns ordered to size. Wedding gowns are usually made to allow the side seams to be let out up to 3 inches or 1-2 sizes*.
Additionally, the back seam often can be let out slightly to size up further.
*Depending on the gown
- Shoulders - It is also common for shoulder seams to be taken in to bring up a gown.
- Hem - The length of a dress can be shortened only and is affected by the height of the shoe you are planning to wear. Some gowns can only be shortened from the waist. Other gowns can only be shortened by taking up the hemline.

"words can not express how much i love this dress and can't wait to surprise everyone on the day"
Love the dress a lot. Just need a little adjusting, after that it is really gorgeous. do not regret it at all.
Love my dress! I saw some comments on petticoats ... I didn't wear one, and you can see it lays flat, which I liked. You'll also notice I removed the shoulder pouf (at home with a pair of sewing scissors), just a personal preference. Thanks DresseShop.co.uk!
We are fantastically pleased with the prompt delivery, helpful answers to our questions and above all with the quality of the dress, which feels luxurious and is wonderfully made. However, we strongly recommend giving exact measurements, as the standard UK size has proven to be marginally inaccurate.
Lovely dress. Beautiful quality of fabric and workmanship. Flower was lame, but after reading other reviews it's what I expected and had planned to unpin it anyway. Very easy to remove. Overall, the dress is much longer than I had expected and I may need to have it tailored to fit, but for the price it was an excellent value. I am short waisted and the dress is designed for someone with a longer torso than myself. Overall quality cannot be beat, especially for the price.

When I ordered the dress, I did not know what to expect. To my surprise and joy, I got a very beautiful dress, exactly my size - it was more than I saw in the site. I had a beautiful wedding and received many compliments about my dress. Until today people ask me where I bought the dress. Thank you HAMDPICKLOOK.
