Wedding Dress, will it fit?

Knottie1441659785

I wanted a Disney wedding dress,  but they are out of my budget.  I saw one on Ebay,  bid on it,  looks like I may win it.   Now I am having second thoughts after reading how small dresses run.  I recently put on 52 lbs after back surgery,  I am working on losing at least 40 by my May wedding.  I am 5'10,  currently a size 8-10 pant (usually a 4-6),  and currently a 14-18 top (usually a 12).  The dress is a size 14 with a corset back.  http://www.ebay.com/itm/161834752111?_trksid=p2055359.m1431.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Anyone familiar with this dress and how it fits?

I just went and checked on that ebay listing and honestly I wouldn't pay that person my money, they have had 0 feedback as a seller and remind me of the Chinese knockoff sites and doesn't offer returns.

It's too late for that,  I bid on the dress.

That dress looks VERY tiny. 

I do not know how those dresses run personally, but I purchased an Allure Couture gown, I am normally a pant size 8, shirt size 10 and I had to order a size 16 dress.

It does say that it is a size 16 - so maybe it will work - and maybe because it is a corset they can add more paneling to the back if it doesnt?

In dresses you will need a larger size than pants in most cases.
I'm a 16 pants and my dress fits perfectly as a 16 but this is not common. So it may fit. If it's coming from a Chinese seller they do not typically do American sizes they run smaller.
I hope if you win it turns out perfect. Good luck.

Looks like it's coming from us seller with decent (be it small) feedback.
Let us know how it turns out.

Fortunately it has a tie back from what the description says so that's nice!  I'm a street size 18 and my dress was a 16W which we had to tie up TIGHT and made the ribbon of the corset thin.  I probably could have gone down a size but the only alterations I really need are at the bust.  I would think it would be fine but I'd be nervous to risk it.

I should point out that the bolded depends entirely on what shape you are.

Sorry unrelated, but oof is this ever true.  I was in Toronto area clothes shopping once at a mall and went into a store that looked like it had some nice clothes.  As I was browsing, a very tiny woman was speaking to someone who worked at the store who informed her that she would be more like a size Large, not a Small like she usually is, because it was in Chinese sizing.  I promptly turned and walked out as I couldn't imagine they would have anything for me, usually being a size 14 or 16 US or Canadian sizes.
