for already married brides who lost a lot of weight after ordering the dress...
I have been holding off ordering my dress because I have been dieting...How much can they really alter a dress down in size?? I really don't want to order a size smaller!!
How was your experience?
TIA

I am in the same boat. I actually ordered my dress too small! I think they can alter a dress 2 sizes....about 40 pounds for me....

Re: for already married brides who lost a lot of weight after ordering the dress...
my mil was altering my dress the night before the wedding b/c i had lost even more weight. i think it is usually a given that brides lose weight before the wedding. i only lost about 10 pounds from the time i ordered the dress to the alterations to the wedding (4months) and it was still a big difference in how the dress fit.

Re: for already married brides who lost a lot of weight after ordering the dress...
I ordered my dress in April and got married in November. it came in within 2 months, so you have time. my dress had to be taken in 12 inches! and then 1 more inch on my last fitting.
my seamstress is a genius and I highly recommend her! FM me if you want more info.

WHEN I ORDERED MY DRESS (AND I ORDERDED IT 1 SIZE SMALLER) THEY TOLD ME ITS 1 DRESS SIZE FOR EVERY 20 LBS. THAT GIVES YOU AND INCH LESS MATERIAL ON EITHER SIDE.

Re: for already married brides who lost a lot of weight after ordering the dress...
I am down almost two sizes since ordering....and I was also concerned when I started losing weight after ordering. They assured me you owuld have to ruin massive amounts of weight for it to be a problem.
You should order your normal size...it is much easier for them to take in a dress, rather than let it out.

Re: for already married brides who lost a lot of weight after ordering the dress...
They can bring a dress in up to 4 sizes....it's letting the dress out that's a problem!
Get in there and order that dress boo!

Re: for already married brides who lost a lot of weight after ordering the dress...
I ordered my dress and told them right off the bat that I plan to lose weight. The bridal consultant told me that she will order the dress in the size that I was currently and they will alter it when I loose the weight. They said it isn't a problem to take it in...

Re: for already married brides who lost a lot of weight after ordering the dress...
That's the same with me... I ordered it in the size I am now, and have since done the elliptical EVERY MORNING for the past two weeks (since I ordered it) - and am dedicated to losing a LOT in 9 months. Someone here said they were told that 20lbs = 1 dress size. Can that be right? I would think 10 lbs would equal 1 dress size? I can't WAIT for them to have to take my dress IN when it comes in!
