Altering dress size.

Question Posted Monday March 8 2010, 5:32 pm

Recently, I bought this dress:

It's for a semi-formal, however... I plan on using the dress again but at the same time I've been losing weight.
I was wondering if it would be possible to alter the dress one size down (from a 6 to a 4)? I can fit into a 4, but it's really tight, so I don't want to exchange it. The main area that would have to be tightened would be the bust/waist area. If it's possible, would it be costly?

I would take it to a place that does alterations and get an estimate. Given the shape of the bustline, it shoudn't be too hard to take the dress in a little bit. Depending on the shop, it might cost you about $30 or so.

Hope this helps.
