beanie80 146 Posted June 15, 2013 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!? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thirdtimesacharm 9 Posted June 15, 2013 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... 3 mrsto, michpell39 and Maddysgram reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

michpell39 399 Posted June 15, 2013 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 2 Maddysgram and mrsto reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maddysgram 6,159 Posted June 15, 2013 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. 1 mrsto reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newskinnygal 51 Posted June 15, 2013 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 2 kll724 and beanie80 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kll724 3,055 Posted June 15, 2013 I agree, you wouldn't want to stress yourself if you did not lose the weight that you expect to lose by Oct. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beanie80 146 Posted June 15, 2013 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kazjim98 618 Posted June 15, 2013 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 1 beanie80 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
