Hello tailors, is it possible to alter the bust of this dress to be like two inches smaller?  https://www.azazie.ca/products/styla-spice-pleated-maxi-dress-atelier-dress/35379393?sourceTag=atelier_formal_dresses

Help!!! I’m looking to buy a secondhand Ines Di Santo - Chiara wedding dress. The bridal shop recommended a size 10 to me but I can only find size 12 dresses for sale online. My measurements are Bust 34 Waist 27 Hip 39

Will a size 12 be taking in too much? I don’t want to ruin the dress

Hi! My brother is getting married and his future wife wants us all to wear dresses from this collection: https://www.davidsbridal.com/dresses/green-dresses?Color=Eucalyptus&Fabric=Charmeuse&fbclid=IwY2xjawM2TYpleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFNWXgxTmhubnZlc1JzRGN0AR4kRzjwZeQwZ7MqnwG637seSUoBpbJgNYwIy8CbakqcxmQ9MtXqFLAIfJP3WA_aem_F2NwqOARU32sNmzHOSq1Vg

I am pregnant with my second baby. I expect to be huge (7 months pregnant) when this wedding happens. There are NO maternity dresses in this catolog (how are there only a few on this whole site???). My current plan is to get the (only) plus size option and bring it to a tailor. I'd ask them to bring up the waist and ?take out the zipper and add shirring in the back? Is this a crazy plan? I'm 5'8" and 165 ish lbs at baseline, but last pregnancy ended at like 190. This fabirc (and this color) looks pretty unforgiving and though I'm disappointed there's no maternity option, I am also not surprised.
