Dress Dilemna--Help

Yes, I called them over the phone and they just asked me what was the lowest price I got and immediately offered 6% off that price. I didn't even have to show anything to them. The dress came in less than three months, before the date they quoted me. I ordered petite and w/ a 3-in heel the length was perfect (I'm 5'4").

My dress has a corset back too like yous so I took a chance and ordered the size that matched me perfectly on the chart. The corset back worked beautifully and I didn't have to do any alteration at all. So for example a size 8 will really work for sizes between 6 and 10 without any alterations. If you have a target of what size to get to, maybe order a size bigger than that?

Really pay attention to Maggie Sottero's sizing chart since every vendor is different, and it is definitely different from what you would wear on a daily basis.

I love your dress. It is so pretty!

your dress is beautiful. I am also looking at a maggie sotero dress. I just love the styles.

Hmm this is so tricky! I really dont know. I like convience. So I say just get it from the store but then again.... youre saving money. Maybe you could look around for a seamstress and show her the photo of your dress and ask her how much it would cost her to alter it?

Thanks ladies for all your help and suggestions!! I'm going to see if I can get a better price through my bridal salon...keep your fingers crossed!!!

And since it's a corset back- don't listen to them when they say you have to order your dress size based on your largest measurement. For example, I was a size smaller in my bust and hips, but my waist was a size larger. They had me order it in my waist size and when the dress came in my dress was WAY too big everywhere. Instead of having that nice V in the back, my corset cinches completely up- no space in between. I then had to have my hips and bust taken in.
