Hello all,
I may have posted this before, if I have, I apologize. Im just not sure if I posted here or on FB where I have a private group for just me and my bridesmaids. I cant seem to settle this question in my head with any real comfort. My wedding is May 24, 2014. I am currently dieting and have lost about 23 lbs (in 2 months). Ideally, I have 70lbs to go. I feel I could reach it or at least close to it by this time next year but we all know I need to order my gown well before the wedding.
Ive been reading different sites that do suggest gown shopping/purchase 8-12 months out. I am thinking I can order my gown in Oct. I know this is 7 months out and maybe pushing it...limiting my designer choices. Im ok with that! Ive also read that rule of thumb is a gown can be altered 2 sizes but 3 sizes is pushing it.
What do you all think? If I order in Oct. I will still have 7 months to lose weight. That could be a lot of weight and more then 2 sizes down. I also read that if you chose a corset back, they are better for taking in, vs. a zipper back. A corset back is the only thing I do know I want, so this works in my favor.
Any knowledge/experience or advice would be appreciated! I also know that I could buy off the "rack" closer to my wedding but I dont know if I want to be that limited in choices.
btw...is there a way for me to see/search all of my posts?
