I bought my gown this past weekend- so excited!! It's a fit and flare, I wore a size six at the appointment- it zipped, but definitely VERY tight in the hips (my hips are famous for being larger than the rest of me lol) and I couldn't even really sit in it. However it fit perfect in the waist and bust. My consultant suggested I buy a size 8, I obviously need to sit at my wedding! However, now I'm getting nervous about whether they will be successful in altering the dress to still be very form-fitting on me (as it's suppose to be)- especially if I lose a little bit of weight before the wedding. My body normally fluctuates between 15 pounds, always being the heaviest in the winter and we're getting married at the end of August- when I tend to be my smallest.
I guess I'm just looking for any brides out there that have been here, done that to give me a little reassurance.
