Hi ladies! I seldom start posts over here, but I need help. I am a bridesmaid in my friend's wedding. She said I can have any long style Bill Levkoff dress in Plum. Pretty! I am excited.
However, her wedding is March 1. I am the heaviest I've ever been and have been planning to go on a diet. I want to order the dress as late as possible so that I can be closer to the weight I"ll be at her wedding when I order it, but I understand that we have to order pretty early. I am new to the "designer BM dress thing." I had my own dress made by a seamstress when I got married and the only other time I was in a wedding we wore DB dresses which could be bought off the rack.
When's the last day you think I could order a Levkoff BM dress for a March 1 wedding? I'll be getting my alterations done by the woman who made my wedding dress; I expect I should allow 2 weeks for alterations based on how long she took with my dress. So I guess I need to shoot for dress-delivery-day being Feb. 15?
I know that it's risky to order sizes smaller than when you try on the dress because of not losing the weight, etc. I don't want to go that route, and I won't. That said, I am confident that I'll be at least 3 sizes smaller than I am sitting here right now than I will be in March. I am just wondering when the latest time to order is so I can get something that fits my measurements at the time I order the dress.
