What would you do - BM related!

Hiya! Don't worry - it's much safer to order a size bigger as it's easier to take a dress in that to take it out. What if she doesn't lose any weight? It's a massive risk! Most seamstresses are fantastic and can work wonders, so don't worry about how it will look. Also, most dressmakers/seamstresses have a set alterations package, which doesn't really fluctuate depending on how many alterations they have to make - so don't worry about the cost saving. I really think you should stick with what you've ordered. The lady in the shop is an expert, so I'd put your faith in her! HTH.

Order the size they are now. No exceptions. We've heard the 'bridesmaid said she'll lose weight and now it's too late and her dress doesn't fit' too often!

Definately better too big than too small. have you already ordered the dresses? if not then why not wait until nearer the date?

i dont think that theres a difference in charge for taking in a wee bit as a slightly bigger bit. i was BM for my friend last oct and they ordered our dresses v big, and when altered, they were fab!! dont worry!!

Thanks for the great advice ladies!

I feel alot happier now!
