Any tips for ordering BM dress when very recently postpartum?

E-CO, on April 11, 2016 at 11:33 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 6

Two of my bridesmaids had babies last week! We are using Azazie for the BM dresses- any dress they want- and the order deadline is April 27. Azazie does free custom sizing, which is great, but the girls are unclear whether to give them their current measurements, or size down the hips and waist. Did anyone's bridal party have similar timing, or do any mamas have insight on what to expect in the belly region 3 months after the baby? Thanks!

    Have them wait until like the 25th to order for two reasons -

    they probably seriously need a nap right about now

    their bodies can change in the next two weeks, so they'll potentially have a better idea of sizing.

    Order what fits them now and they can get it taken in closer to the wedding if they need to.

    It depends on the person. I would let them wait to order as well.

    I agree with waiting. It all depends on whether they are nursing or not. If they are nursing, their breasts are going to go through a ton of changes in the next few weeks.

    Weight loss also depends on a lot of things. I was back to pre-partum weight by the time I left the hospital, but my boobs would not have fit in anything. Let them guide themselves. They will be extremely self conscious for the next couple of weeks and very tired.

    It's going to depend. I would have them order either one size large or their size and have alterations. There is just no telling. My FSIL will be 5 months pregnant at the wedding. She ordered hers 2 sizes too big when she was TTC since she wouldn't know what her size would be at that point. She will have alterations done as needed. With less than 3 months to go, these really need to be ordered.

    Thanks- I did tell them before the babies came to wait til the last possible minute to order, and I was sorry the timing was not ideal. But one of them texted me yesterday that she was looking at the dresses and didn't know to use current waist, pre-preg waist, or somewhere in between, and I'm like I have no idea...
