Alterations...

When I bought my dress I was about 10 lbs heavier than I am now. I intend to keep up with the weight loss and my dress won't be in for another 2 months. I have about 12 more pounds to go. I'm getting worried that if I lose too much weight I'm either A) going to be spending like $500 on alterations because they have to take so much out or The alterations won't look right because they have to take so much material out. So just a semi-freak out that my dress will look awful on my wedding day. Any advice on this?

I would schedule a consultation soon with a seamstress and see what she says can be done with your dress, and an estimate of what it would cost.  At least you'll have a general answer to these questions and decide what you want to do from there.

Ditto pp.  But I wouldn't sweat it too much, I've read on these boards that most gowns can be taken in one to two dress sizes without changing the character of the dress.  You can also call around for a seamstress to make sure you're getting a fair price.
