Has anyone lost too much weight?

Me! I was going to order my dress and Im glad I didnt because I got really sick and lost two dress sizes.

I wish I'd had more confidence in myself when I ordered it to go a size down. I really didn't think I'd be able to lose more than a couple of pounds.

Same here. My mom actually yelled at me not to lose anymore weight. Just a few months ago she yelled at me for gaining weight. My mom bought my dress and when she purchased it in May the dress fit perfectly but the dress fit a little snug back in November. Well two weeks ago I tried it on again and now its poofy in the waist and hip areas.

A girl friend of mine had that problem too the girls making her dress were so mad at her lol but they worked magic and it looked amazing on her wedding day

I think you'll be alright - a good seamstress can work miracles. I hope when I order my dress I have the same problem as you. :-)

Well first off, good for you in being healthy and reaching the goal you REALLY wanted to reach! That's great!

I wouldn't stress too much. I'm pretty sure most dresses can be changed 2 sizes before you get into real structural issues. My dress has like five pounds of taffeta train at the bottom, and I'm 4'11" and it's all being taken up a solid foot.

Edit- I wrote something about adding a corset back but it was a reading comprehension fail. They can probably make the corset smaller if you need.

Marie's right, a good seamstress is like a magician. Don't stress.

I have lost 15 pds since i got engaged...and when trying on wedding dresses my mom yelled at me for losing too much weight... we ordered a size 4 which is big on me, so i am hoping I will not have to get too much alterations, but I have a feeling i will.

I think you should just ask if you can get it taken in, and then go from there.

Your seamstress may be able to make the back in to a zippered dress since it's one size bigger that is what I'm planning on doing if I can lose the right amount of weight!

You guys are making me feel a little better about this. My first fitting is in March, so I'm trying to not loose anymore weight, but I'm still trying to "tighten" some spots up.

I really don't want to have to turn it into a zipper back, I love the corset. I'm starting to have hope that it'll all work out and fit well. Now I'm just going to be dreading the cost of alterations! LOL

Edit: I guess if they can take it in on the sides that would open the corset back up?

I ordered my dress one size smaller in early November. I was on the bubble between 2 sizes. I had to practically sign my life away because I ordered the dress in a size that did not match up with my measurements. Since then, I have lost 18 pounds, so I know it will fit. I would really like to lose about 40 more, so I hope that will work with the dress. It is also a corset back. It doesn't have a lot of beading by the waist and hips, but it does have ruching. Had I known the dress would come so quickly (it came in on 1/13), I would have waited a couple of months to order it. But they do scare you with the ordering timeline. I think we will both be OK. Good luck!

Pssh I wish.. I'll be lucky to still fit in my dress. ;P

I went to the doctor's for a routine physical. he said I lost 20 lbs in 1 year! it has been stressful planning and I lost most of the weight when I got sick several times.

I'm in the same situation. I ordered a size up thinking I wouldn't lose the weight (yes, all the weight gained from being in love

Funny thing is, the boutique ladies actually told me I would lose weight and suggested I go down a size, rather than up. I said, no. I don't plan on losing weight and I want to be able to feel comfortable during the wedding. But, they were right! They must have seen it a 100x by now.

I wouldn't worry about the alterations.. they can do it, but it might be pricey. I'm not looking forward to my bill.

I lost too much weight, so I just stopped worrying about skipping dessert and hooked my corset more loosely. I was more comfortable that way anyway
