Dress size 14 - Street Size 12. Dress pics??

Posted in Wedding Attire 125

Hey guys.. So I have my first dress appointment this Saturday!! I have a dress that I am in love with, but I am having MAJOR anxiety about the dress looking horrible on me!! I have looked at every picture I can find of real brides in it, but I doubt any of them are my size. I am a size 12 in jeans...

Hey guys.. So I have my first dress appointment this Saturday!! I have a dress that I am in love with, but I am having MAJOR anxiety about the dress looking horrible on me!! I have looked at every picture I can find of real brides in it, but I doubt any of them are my size. I am a size 12 in jeans and in June when I tried on a bridesmaid dress I was a size 14 in the dress. I would love to see you in your size 14 dresses!! I'm having an incredibly difficult time trying to figure out if I'm going to look half decent in a dress or not. And I'm starting to freak out.

So if you're a street size 12 or if your wedding dress is a size 14, I would greatly appreciate it if you could post your dress for me!!

    I'm a street size 6-8 and my wedding dress was a 10. But when i was trying more fitted I was struggling to get in a 12. Boobs and hips are a struggle. I feel ya girl haha. Smiley smile

    Size is just a number, but I am about a 12 and my wedding dress is a 14. The seams along my hips were let out a little, but that's it.

    My dress is a 14, but I lost weight and it is now being altered down a size or two. This picture was before I lost weight and honestly, I still think I look good in this photo. It was the first dress I tried on and it is a sample. You will be just fine. Wedding dresses have magical power...every dress photo I have seen on weddingwire, I have thought "how beautiful!"

    ETA: There is a 12 inch difference between my waist and my hips no matter how much weight I lose. Alfred Angelo's made me order a bridesmaid dress in a size up based on my hip measurement...even though the dress wasn't fitted in the hips. I had to get it tailored and hated the way it looked in the end. Dress sizes are ridiculous. Don't waste even a second of your life worrying about a number on a tag that no one else will ever see. Just choose the dress you love the most.

    I'm a street size 8 and my dress had to be ordered in a 14 to accommodate my thighs. Numbers don't mean anything! Find what you love and don't sweat getting a size with enough room to be cut to your shape.

    Mobile is cropping all my stuff but here's one without the flowers from the side.

    My dress hides my stomach, which had caused a new co-worker to ask if I'm expecting, when I'm not.

    Wedding dresses can hide all our insecurities, if it's the right one, and make you feel beautiful!

    Dress sizes are so inconsistent and all over the place. I’m a street size 2/4 and was between a 12/14 in my dress. I ended up ordering the 12 with the intent to lose a few inches in my waist.

    I think I'm a street size 10, but big boobs means bigger sizes. xD My wedding gown is a size 14 and this is what it looked like the first time I tried it on!

    That's why so many dress designers sizes go into the 20's. Why they make women feel bigger in the most important dress they'll wear is beyond me, but I had to size up about 3 sizes from what I'd wear in jeans.

    What dress is this? I wear a 12 in Jean's and purchased a 14 dress on line & am afraid it is going to be way too tight.
