MOH problem

rasdreamer34

Hi all! I kinda have a problem! My sis-in-law is my MOH and she just found out she is pregnant. I don't know exactly how far along she is(we have been playing phone tag alot) but I do know she will be between 3.5 and 4.5 months pregnant at the wedding. She already bought her dress from Davidsbridal.

Or will she be showing that much? I'm not upset that she's pregnant- I'm just upset that she spent all the money and it may have been to nothing. I'd be happy with her in sweats and a tshirt. I've never been that close to a pregnancy so I have no clue! Thanks! Sorry for the ramble!

I'm using David's for my BM gowns, and both of my sisters have gained weight to the point where the sizes they ordered currently do not fit (We ordered the dresses in August ... I have no clue how they managed to pull this off).At the time, the sales girl at my David's told me, if we get within 6 weeks of the wedding and the dresses still don't fit and they have not been altered, they will do an even exchange for a size that fits.Any closer to the date than that, though, and they said there may be "rush" charges made.

Some people show by then, some don't. It's something you guys might have to play by ear. I would ask David's Bridal if they could do an exchange in this instance.

If your SIL was in my mom's family, she'd be big as a house by 4 months along. But my SIL barely showed at 7 months and never even had to buy maternity clothes. It's so hard to predict. See if DB is willing to do an exchange. If you gave them a lot of business they should. But you never know.

As Brooke said, it all depends on the person.  So if she can cancel the DB dress, try that, and then just let her buy a dress from a department store or maternity store closer to your wedding.Congrats on the end of your post "I'd be happy with her in sweats and tshirt."  Clearly you get it, and your SIL is a lucky girl.  And you're going to LOVE being an auntie!

She may not have a huge bump so the dress may fit. Does it come with a matching shawl or extra fabric on the bottom? That can help in case it needs to be altered.

Thanks guys! I'll try to call her in the morning to give her yalls thoughts. And thank you Trix! I can't wait to spoil it rotten and then send it home to my brother! Haha!! As long as she's there, that's all i care about. Banana, I don't think it comes with a shawl or anything. But we could maybe buy one in the same color...thanks! If all else fails, she can sale her dress online. Thanks again!

Check eBay for a shawl or a maternity dress in the same color. Or a regular dress that can be used for scrap fabric. Congrats on being an aunt and kudos for your great attitude

The other ladies have given you the best advice in the world.  But I also have to comment on how touched I was by your comment about how you would be happy with her there in sweats.  You are clearly a wonderful person who "gets it" and knows what is REALLY important in this world.  YAY YOU

3-4 months she might be able to get the dress altered .
