Same thing happened to me - order a larger size than normal, become absolutely hysterical at the very
thought of needing "that size!", dieting like a maniac prior to the wedding, then needing to have it taken in - or as CarolinaCutie said, rebuilt - days before the wedding!
I think these idiots should pay for any therapy needed by this scam!
I was the MOH in one wedding where I couldn't make the "deciding of the dress". They picked a dress that could only nicely be called a "Purple Carmen Miranda Without the Fruit Hat" dress! I went to the store the next day, saw it, and said, no. There was absolutely no possible way I was going to spend $400 (plus shoes, handbag, gloves, hat, etc) for that monstrosity. I had a seamstress friend check it out, and make me one that blended in, but without the gazillion ruffles. Funny how I blocked that whole wedding out of my mind...
