Most stores that sell bridal gowns will have the dresses to be a little larger than it should be. This is because altering a larger dress into a smaller one is much easier as compared to making a dress bigger from a smaller dress. Most shops will take your largest measurement and base your dress here so to make sure that the dress can be altered if ever it does not fit properly. Most bridal shops will offer wedding dress alterations to make the bride pleased with her purchase of the wedding dress.
Take note that alterations are not always included in the price of the gown, even if the seamstress works for the bridal salon you purchased from. Most shops cannot accommodate free alterations and building it into the sale price of the gown is difficult simply because there is no way of gauging what changes will need to be done. Some are very extensive and some are lucky enough to not need any. It is simply in the best interest of you and your bridesmaids, as well as the shop, to keep it separated despite the inconvenience.
A good tailor can take out a dress and make the alterations in a manner that the dress doesn't appear to have been altered and it looks as though it was tailor-made for you. This can be done to any gown to an extent. Dresses only have so much fabric in them to begin with. If your tailor needs to add fabric to your garment, there is a possibility that the material isn't going to match or that you aren't going to be able to stretch the gown to a point that it will fit your body size.
What you pay for is what you get. A cheap garment will never look or feel as good as a well made one. I am constantly advising U-Sew members how to alter their cheap garments to fit or look better. In other words; cheap garments usually need to be worked on to be improved, and quality
garments occasionally need to be updated or repaired.
