How much can you alter a dress?

My dilema... I found a wedding dress this weekend that i fell in LOVE with.. problem, it's a woman's size, and the smallest one they have is a 14W (measurements 41 bust, 33 waist and 44 hips).. my measurements are 39-40 bust, 32 waist and 36 hips. It's Allure Bridal W230 http://www.allurebridals.org/womens.html if you want to take a peek at it and let me know if you think I could alter it enough, I am trying to find a sample dress in that size to try on (I tried a 20W on)... Please let me know if you think it might be possible, the salon I tried it on was of no help!!!! Thank you sooo much for any advice you might have!

That sounds possible as it's only an inch or two at the bust and waist, which are the harder part to fit, that's a pretty standard alteration. It appears to have a free hip, so the huge difference may not matter.

I would worry that with all that intricate beading it will either be ruined, or cost a fortune so I would definitely find a seamstress before you purchase the dress, or if necessary, make sure you can return it if you can't find a willing seamstress.

I wouldn't get too attached if you tried on a dress 6 sizes too big though, it might look completely different in your size.

What Are The Hot Wedding Dress Trends For 2010?

Your beau - probably one of a dozen who were smitten with you -- has finally popped the question and the big day is set for next year, which is actually not that far off. But what are the hot wedding dress trends for 2010 and beyond? There's no big secret, and you can find out what they are by continuing to read on.

Generally-speaking, there are several nice-looking styles on the horizon for 2010 and beyond. Some are sleek, with low hemlines, and others are more non-traditional and very modern-appearing. There are yet other dresses that are pretty much unchanged in appearance since their general look developed several decades ago. Here are a few things to know about these dresses in 2010:

- The traditional look is always in. This means a somewhat billowy look that resembles a ball gown, somewhat. The difference is in the neckline, and that the dress is always in white, which isn't the case, on certain occasions, with other types of wedding dresses.

- Wedding dress trends these days are highly flexible and diverse. If you choose, you can go for the most currently popular style, which is a sleek silhouette, and perfect for a person of slim build and dimensions. These dresses are what are called "figure hugging," so make sure the body matches the dress. Top designers in this style are Justin Alexander and Maggie Sottero.

- If Classic Hollywood is your thing, and you like a bit of glamour in your dresses, then one that harkens back to the 50s silver screen era would be perfect for you. These types of dresses feature belted waistlines and hems that go all the way to the floor and sometimes beyond. A few, though, go only down to knees, but have a sheer layer of fabric overlaid to accentuate the legs and the hemline. Suzanne Ermann and Stephanie Allin have been solid designers of these dresses for a few years.

- Many women are going for something that's a bit more modern and less traditional in a wedding dress these days. If that's the case for you, then a tea-length dress can be ideal. This sort of couture isn't as tradition-minded, generally. With hems that fall just below the knees, they're great for accentuating the lower legs and a fine-looking pair of shoes. Their bodices are at once demure and alluring, which is quite a feat. Allan Hanna and Leigh Hetherington are two of several great designers working in this line.

- Another noticeable trend in wedding dress design for 2010 has been the use of asymmetrical-looking dresses, which have a single shoulder in place of the strapless gown. Top designers and fashion mavens say these sorts of dresses are great for what are called "destination weddings." It tends to show off the neck and shoulders, so take some time to tone those areas up.

Wedding dress styles today have never been more diverse or exciting, and the trend appears to be just as exciting in the coming years, especially in 2010. You can choose from very traditional (with a veil and tiara) to something less-traditional, like a tea-length dress or a 50s-style gown. Take a bit of time to look over what you think would be ideal for you and then wear it proudly.
