Weight loss after you ordered your dress?

My dress will not be in for another 3 weeks or so, but I ordered it in January. So far I've lost about 10ish pounds and I have 10 months until my wedding. Where did you get your dress from? I got mine from David's Bridal! I was told by the sales rep that if I lost a lot of weight and my current size was too much to take in, then they would exchange it for a smaller size. Usually they can take up to 2 sizes in no problem.

I lost 20 and they just had me exchange it for the same dress but just a smaller size. But I had to have that taken in slightly but I think I like my dress more since its smaller.

I had lost 30 lbs when I found my dress In January. I thought I was still losing, Atleast that was my plan. I ordered it at my measurements at the time. Dress came in mid February, I was at the same weight, no alterations needed at all. Bustle is done and I'm up 7 lbs since then, so back to counting calories for 7 weeks before final fitting!

Seamstresses are typically super experienced with taking in wedding dresses and making sure they don't ruin the look of the dress. Make sure you choose a reputable seamstress who has lots of experience with wedding dresses.

Have you started the alternation process yet?

I've lost about 90lbs since I bought my dress so you may have a different experience only wanting to lose 30, but my dress looks completely different on me after losing weight. Even alterations wont help. Granted I purchased my dress last July in a MUCH smaller size than I was at that time. I ordered a 12. I think when I ordered it I wore a 22 I'm now down to a 10. While the dress fits it looks completely different on my body. It's a beautiful dress on the hanger, but on me does nothing for my shape. I actually bit the bullet and bought a new dress last month, now I just hope it comes in time.
