Long story short, I learned that one of my bridesmaids intentionally ordered her dress two sizes too small (as a goal to lose weight). The problem is, the dress is going to be discontinued (got it for a steal, though - $50 bucks) and we were told specifically that the dress can be pulled in, but it cannot be let out.
I feel really frustrated, because it seems like an inappropriate thing to do. I have not brought it up with her; one of my other bridesmaids told me about it in confidence. Basically, what do I do if she doesn't lose the weight and can't fit her dress? I'm not about to pressure a girl into losing weight (and I don't think she needs to lose weight in the first place). Do I try to find an alternate dress that looks mostly similar? Do I tell her to squeeze in like a stuffed sausage? Or do I boot her from the party? (I have no beef with uneven sides). Part of me is tempted to buy another dress in her proper size (which I know) as a back up. What do I do?
