Justin Alexander 8799 sizing

Hey there!

Not sure if you will get this response as you posted at the start of the month but here goes anyway!

I have also ordered 8799 for my wedding in July! Beautiful isn't she ?

I am a dress size 14/16 with a DD/E cup (so I'm around the same size as you) and they have ordered me the USA size 16 (which is UK size 18). Even though your dress size is smaller you will need it to fit your slightly larger bust (lucky girl) so it sounds about right to me.

As the focus of the dress is the beading around the back and chest area, it stands to reason that it is more important that it fits your bust correctly. You will not end up with a huge dress as the material is draped chiffon which falls off from the bodice. The beaded panel on the back are made in sections so the seamstress said it's easy to alter.

Are you getting it altered at the dress shop? Have they quoted you for this? Alterations at my shop were capped at maximum £260, however I got them free with the dress (£1400) as a special offer.

Hope this helps, and well done on your great taste LOL!!! I love my dress so much and can't wait till it arrives in April!

Glasgowbride101 - you need to have a look at the size charts for Justin Alexander, if you google you will find them, and see if your measurements match with what the shop have said you need. That is literally the only way to be satisfied as to what size you need.

They usually order the dress to fit your largest measurement and then alter the rest to fit you as it's easier to make it smaller than to make it bigger.

I've also chosen a Justin Alexander dress and have had a US16/UK18 ordered! I'm normally a size UK14/16 in clothes. When I was measured my bust & hips were ok but I need to lose 1inch from my waist (eeeek!). It's a corset back though so I'm hoping that will help.

I can't remember what number my dress is but it looks like this:

I hope that helps!
