Bridesmaid dress help!



Recommended Posts

I'm having my surgery on June 26th. I will be in a wedding on October 26th. I need to order my bridesmaid dress now so it is here by October, but I'm not sure what size to order! There are two size choices. The first one is Size A (0-12) and the second one is Size B (14-18). Currently I am a size 14/16. I am thinking I should order the size A because I will be smaller by October....The dress is expensive and designer. I can alter only the length, I can't take in the waist or anything else due to the dress material. What would you all do!?

Order the smaller size! You will be smaller by following the protocol

Just a thought... Bridesmaid dresses ALWAYS run SMALL. I would order the 14 which inturn is really like a 10.. You can always take it in.. But not take it out.. Just my opinion...

I agree , order the bigger size those dresses do run small especially if its designer , personally ordering the smaller size would make me stress too much

and the more you stress, the more you want to turn to food to relieve it.

I too, would go with the bigger size. It can be taken in, if need be.

Anyway you could order both and return one later? If not, I would order the bigger size! It sounds like the dress would be a one size fits all type with only two sizes anyways? If it is, I don't think it would matter if say you went down to size 12, being that size A is 0-12 and size B is 14-?... What I'm trying to say is that I think you can pull off size B even once you shed some weight :)

I agree, you wouldn't want to stress yourself if you did not lose the weight that you expect to lose by Oct.

I think I'm going to order the size A (0-12). Since the dress can't be taken in at all I don't want to wear a big baggy dress after losing weight! I want to look sexy! And I want to be able to wear the dress several more times as I'm losing weight. Even if I lose only 20lbs between now and the wedding I'll be at a weight where I was a size 12. Hope I'm not making a bad decision! I'll post a pic of me in the dress in October :P

I would check out both of the dress measurements first...if the smaller one is just a bit smaller than the size you are now I would go for the smaller dress..I know if it were me, paying out for a dress would keep my weight loss on track. Best Wishes :)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
