Wedding Dress: Is it possible to lose too much weight before a wedding?

Hi everyone!

I never thought I'd be asking this, but is it possible to lose too much weight before a wedding?

When I ordered my wedding dress back in June last year, I was 25 pounds heavier than I am now, and I ordered up a size (I was between two sizes so I went with the larger size to be safe). Afterward, I set a weight loss goal for myself and I actually reached it! Smiley smile My wedding dress is now pretty big on me which didn't initially worry me, but now...

I had to postpone my wedding to November due to COVID. I would love to lose more weight before then (I have a goal in mind), but I'm wondering if it's possible to lose too much to where it can't be altered. I have five fittings set up starting 2 months out from the wedding. Will I be okay if I lose more weight (maybe another 15-20 pounds) before then?

Thank you in advance everyone for the help!

    A great seamstress can’t make most anything happen but the general rule of thumb is you can let out a dress size up and take it in two sizes down without having to reconstruct the entire gown.

    It’s possible but it depends on the seamstress and the dress! So this is definitely a question for your seamstress. Mine was taken in more than 2 sizes for what it’s worth so don’t let people saying that scare you!

    If you ordered your dress from David’s Bridal they have an exchange policy!! If you lose to much weight for the dress to be altered they will exchange the dress for a smaller size?!
