You're considering saying  "yes to the dress" and it's gorgeous, but before you find your second perfect match, consider this. The price of that beautiful wedding dress does not include alterations, and depending on what needs to be done, those alterations can cost as much as the dress itself.  Hemming a ruffled dress can cost 200.00.  Bustles can cost upwards of 100.00, and altering a neckline or a waistline can be significant, depending on the fabric. Almost every dress will need alterations, but if you're on a budget, you can make wiser choices, and a great consultant can help you in many ways. 

When you work with your consultant at your bridal shop, talk about your concerns, and ask for styles that won't require major reconstruction to fit you well.  (And if you are a larger than life woman and located anywhere near Pittsburgh, you'll want to check out Koda Bridal.  Mary Beth carries an astonishing assortment of designer gowns in sizes 16-30, and her passion for making her brides look gorgeous is unparalleled.)
