Depends on many factors: dressmaker's skill, style of dress, type of fabric, how radical a reduction is needed. Taking in is easier than letting out so that's a plus. Many tailoring details make alteration harder. Slight size reduction is easier than reducing several sizes. Best ask a dressmaker; she can tell you if it's worth doing. For a really radical reduction, you're most likely better off getting a dress made from scratch.

Consider instead buying a fairly simple dress that fits like a dream and having a dressmaker add a lace overlay, ruffles, beaded or sequinned appliques, a jeweled belt, jeweled buttons or other trim and details to make it suitable for a sister of the groom. (Not all of the above together, of course, perish the thought.)

2 sizes too big? Yes. Larger than that? No.

I regularly do it this way because my shoulders are 2 sizes bigger than the rest of me. Shoulders will be the hardest part to take on properly so if they’re way too big it may not work
