A California bride 'freaked out' when she discovered her chest was 'fully exposed' in her custom wedding dress just 3 weeks before her big day

• A bride had a dress fitting weeks before her wedding and discovered the gown left her chest exposed.
• The dressmakers agreed to reconstruct the corset to fit her bra size, completing it just in time.

A California bride said she was horrified to discover her custom-measured wedding dress left her chest "fully exposed" just weeks before her big day.

Joanna Olandt, co-founder of Orange County-based lifestyle-and-fitness brand Sweat and Tell, spoke about her wedding-dress faux pas in a TikTok video posted June 10. In the video, which has over 1 million views as of Friday, she told viewers she was initially so excited to try on her dress, which was ready just three weeks before her wedding day.

"Mind you, I had done custom measurements and everything was fitted to my body, so I really wasn't concerned about the way it would fit," Olandt said in the video.

At the fitting, everything seemed "perfect" at first, she said.

However, when she started to walk around, Olandt said she noticed something not quite right with the gown.

"I start to feel a little bit of a breeze around the nipples," she said.

Olandt said she looked down and discovered her chest was "fully exposed." "Tits were out," she added.

In her TikTok video, Olandt shared a photo of her wearing the dress, using small red heart emojis to cover up the extent of the exposure.

Olandt did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

The cost was the first thing that came to her mind, she said. "I start kinda freaking out because I'm like, 'This is going to be so much money to fix,'" she said. "I'm so disappointed with like this whole situation," she added.

The dressmakers initially said the dress had been made for her measurements, according to Olandt. But she said she managed to convince them to fix it for no additional cost by trying on a floor model that was fitted with a B cup.

"I compare the floor model, which was a B, to these C cups," she said, pointing to the top of the dress in the photo. "And when I tell you the B had double the amount of fabric, and I'm like 'Something's up, you guys are wrong.'"

According to Olandt, the designer said it was going to take two weeks for the upper half of the corset to be fully reconstructed, which included removing the floral appliques and the boning.

Ultimately, Olandt seemingly got the wedding dress she wanted. Photos she shared to Instagram show her wearing the gown on her wedding day in La Quinta, California.

Nonetheless, in the TikTok video, she said she wanted to share her story as cautionary tale for other brides-to-be.

"I keep hearing stories like this that are happening, which is crazy because you buy like an expensive dress like this and you're thinking that it's going to be perfect so allow yourself enough time in case something like this happens," she said.
