feelbetter 26 Posted August 4, 2013 I'm going to be in a similar boat. I'm being sleeved on September 3rd and am getting married in February which means I'm going to have to order a dress in the late fall and have NO idea how I'm going to know what size to get! Talk about adding even more stress to the next few months' date=' lol! Any ideas on what to do?[/quote'] I know that I have gone from a 20 to a loose 14 in three months if that helps!

feelbetter 26 Posted August 4, 2013 Its great that your dress came in and fits! I am in a wedding on 9/1. When I went to buy it a 16 would not zipper I bought the 14 and now its too big I have a friend who can do the alterations so I'm waiting to the extreme last minute to have them done. I have a friend who can do the same! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
melmel11 30 Posted August 5, 2013 I know that I have gone from a 20 to a loose 14 in three months if that helps! That does help thanks. I'm also starting at a size 20. It's so hard to even know what shape/style dress will even be flattering on me at a smaller size! It's exciting and nerve wracking all at the same time! 1 feelbetter reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cheer Mama 166 Posted August 5, 2013 Who knows HOW small you'll be by then. :0) The sales people aren't used to dealing with sleeved customers. You may fir perfectly into the 14 or you may be a lot smaller. All of our bodies are different. Good Luck! 1 feelbetter reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AprilS 25 Posted October 22, 2013 http://m.davidsbrida...sses#un_clr_pos This is the same dress my sister is looking at for her wedding in April of next year. Is that the color yours will be too? What did you end up doing about the size? When is the wedding this month? We're supposed to go on November 23rd for a fitting. I'm getting sleeved Nov. 4th so I'll just be starting my weight loss. I'll hopefully need a way smaller size by Feb/March but they're saying it takes so long to get it in....ugh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sweet Pee 349 Posted October 26, 2013 Yup, you may need to get the dress closer to the date. The same thing happen to me last year. I tried on a size 10. It fit perfectly. I bought a size 6. Four months later the size 6 dress was getting too big. I had to slack up exercising an eat lots of nuts to keep from losing too much more weight so I would not have to pay for expensive alterations.

NatWaddyDoDaDay 0 Posted November 9, 2013 I'm experiencing the same thing right now! My sister's wedding is in July and she wants to dress shop for us bridesmaids in January. My sleeve procedure is scheduled for the beginning of February and I have no clue where I will be several months later. What to do....what to do.., Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scrapbasket 83 Posted September 2, 2014 Just a thought, is it very expensive? can you order two and return the one that is too big or too small closer to the time? I realize that sounds strange but if it is not altered maybe you can get your money back for one. good luck. love sara Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
csterry01 0 Posted September 4, 2014 You were smart to get the 14. I think you could be closer to a twelve but easier to take in than let out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
