Dress alteration

    I found a beautiful dress today for only €25. It's absolutely gorgeous but I think it's been made all wrong, I had to buy a size that's normally too loose on me and even now, it zips up the back and the zip will only close most of the way up with about an inch left to go. I can't try a bigger size because the one I tried is waaay too loose up top. It's odd because I'm normally an 8 but their 8 wouldn't even get past my hips. So I got the ten but it's too lose around my chest, which is so strange because a ten is a small size in my opinion and I'm a C-Cup so the 10 really shouldn't be too big up top. So now I'm in a situation where the zip wont close all the way but my shoulders and chest are lost in it. Very odd sizing indeedy. (I'm actually blaming the sizes this time and not my love of chocolate :P)

    My question is, if anyone knows of anywhere around Dublin's City Centre where I could have the dress altered without it costing a bomb? I think the €25 is a great price for the dress so I'm happy to pay to have it altered if it's possible. I know nothing about alterations, do you think it's possible to have this dress fixed?

    Basically I need to know if it can be done, where and roughly how much!

    Thank you everyone :D

    I don't know about the City Centre but any alterations I get done usually cost about 6-10 euro in Crumlin. :)

    Woooah :eek: That's actually deadly! Do they measure you themselves? Because that's the part that worries me, if I'm left to do it myself I wouldn't have a clue! :o
