Im now 195Lbs. and im very happy. but i dont know if i should buy my dress now or later. i know i still have time but people keep telling i should wait a little because i will be loosing more pounds....

ANY ADVICE????

As much as you don't want to hear it you should wait. Both of my parents had GBS and the first 6 months-1 year is when the lost their big lb's. Give your body a chance to regulate and morph. What looks good now will be different than in a year. Congrats that it is working well and stick to it! It is harder than people make it out to be

DEFINITELY wait... While you may be happy with your results now they could easily change within the next 14 months (for better or worse...)

That is amazing!!! As with PP's, I think you should wait. We'll all have to have alterations to some extent on our dresses, but it's better and cheaper to make less in the end.

BTW, you're getting married on my birthday

I'd say wait till just under a yr, maybe 8-10 mo to order. You can still shop around and see what styles you like and maybe narrow it down.

Remember, if you order a dress and you have to take it in a lot, you'll be paying more for the alterations and some of the design of the dress might be lost (if there's a specific pattern on it or something).

You have time, so I'd wait.  You'll want your weight to stabilize a bit so you don't need major alterations.  I ordered my dress 7 months before my wedding and it was fine.

You have plenty of time, I'd say wait till at least this winter.
