I am a bridesmaid in a wedding. I am out of state, and had the local Nordstroms here take my measurements so I could call them into Demetrios in Bellevue. My dress arrived SO BIG that I can pull it on without unzipping it. I took it to an alterations specialist who gasped at how big it was and told me to first try to get a smaller dress to avoid paying $200 in alterations (the dress was only $130!!). I called Laura at Demetrios, she told me nothing could be done and that the right size was ordered. I told her I would send her a picture of the dress which is the "right size" because apparently, IT WASNT!!! They didn't to A THING about it. And this is just my story - please ask the other 6 bridesmaids what they think...they all had issues, and its added stress for the bride. Mark my words - you will be disappointed.
