[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I haven't read all of the replies yet but I just have to share this story.

My friend had a wedding circa 1997. She picked out bridesmaids dresses for us in basically what can be described as nothing other than poop-colored brown and let me tell you something, that material was SHINY. Oh, but here's the kicker. She picked out a pattern for the dresses and her mother insisted that SHE wanted to make all the dresses so they would be perfect. Hm. So she wants us all to come into town a week ahead of time for "wedding festivities" and so her mother can have time for the alterations. I was just starting out in my career and couldn't get that much time off so the mom says I can come up the weekend before the wedding, basically for one day (7 hour drive for me mind you) and then return the thursday before the wedding to make sure everything fits. At the time I was VERY thin, a size 0. And my height was / is 5'7".   So I get there and the dress is two inches too short, and about 800 miles too wide. My friend (the bride) had told me on the phone that her mom thought I must have made a mistake on my measurements so she was just going to use my friend who she thought was about the same size as a fit model. I got there and the dress was just SO weird. Mom took all my measurements and was super critical of how thin I was the entire time (I was never anorexic, just really small framed and if I ate healthy and exercised, naturally skinny. Not so now though! But anyway). So mom criticizes me and basically has a fit as if me being slim is ruining her daughters day. the bride just sat nearby eating a pear the entire time. I can still remember her crunching. So mom says "I don't even know if I can fix this," and continues to kind of slam me for my weight. I leave, basically knowing already that the dress is going to be a disaster. And I was right. The thursday before the wedding I put the dress on and it's still 3 inches too wide at the waist and OMIGOD the boobs. She had just basically somehow taken them in like a pair of slacks, straight down the middle, and the result was cone shaped boob holes (think Madonna, seriously) about 2 sizes (plus the cone) too big for my barely B's. Hoo boy. Mom says she'll fix it. What can I do? Morning of the wedding mom says she didn't have time to fix it. She's still pissed off at me over my weight. My friend, at this point, is basically like some 80s movie heroine who is basically hiding from her overbearing mother. It was NOT the bride's fault (other than the fact that at the time she did not stand up to her mom at all). She was scared shitless of her mom, who basically took over her wedding and made her totally miserable! For bride's sake, I sucked it up. I wore that brown, too big, cone-shaped boob dress like it was my job. Did I mention it was SHINY? I looked like a hot, wet turd with madonna boobies. And the BLACK shoes that mom made us all wear were fully visible because the dress was cut so short. I looked like a maniac.

After the ceremony, I belted that sucker up to tea length and changed into gold kitten heels. Nothing to do about the boobs except own it. i let people pose for pictures of me in profile. We all had a good laugh about it. The bride, btw, is still one of my best friends. Unsurprisingly, she and her husband moved 2000 miles away from her family before having kids!!!

OP, whatever you do, it will be fine. And if not, work it, girl!
