NWR: Sizes

SlkMjc

this is non-wedding related, but i'm curious... I've recently lost about 30lbs (on weight watchers) over the past year. I am currently a size 6 in dress pants, going into a size 4 (my pants are super baggy on my legs and loose around the waist). I am going to a wedding in 3 weeks that is in AZ so I figured I’d need a new dress that my size 8 that I bought back in August wouldn’t fit me (I was also a size 8 dress pants at that time)… WRONG. Apparently… all of the dresses that fit me were size 8s. If I went into a 6 then the zipper wouldn’t zip.. does anyone else have this issue?

Your bust size must not have changed (lucky you!!!).... could you get the dress you already have taken in around the waste? I often have to buy shirts and dresses that are a size or two big because they dont fit my bust... and I am not even that busty! It is annoying.....

haha i'm not even busy at all! In fact when i was bigger my bust wasn't too much bigger.. So annoying.. i'm guessing it's because of my build.. it sounds so weird tho.. i wear a size 4 dress pant but my dress is a size 8! oh well at least it isn't a 14 anymore .

This happens to me too.  I am pretty busty but also just seem to be wider though my chest.  The size is just a number, I wouldn't worry about it.  I am sure you look amazing and can see the difference.

I know how you feel. I had weight loss surgery in April 2011, and have lost just under 80lbs so far. I am currently a size 14 moving into a size 12. My pant size is a 12 but my tops are still a 14. My bra size went from a 44DDD to a 38D, so needless to say my problem area is in the bust. As a matter of fact my wedding dress size 14 fits absolutely perfect right now, but it is a little tight on the bust area. I am struggling with figuring out how to lose weight in the bust area. Any ideas?

Dress sizes run smaller, I have found, compared to pants.

I have issues with shirts. I am busty so I have to go the next size up, but then it is baggy in the shoulder area and my waist. I also have to go up a dress size usually to accomodate my butt and boobs. :S

I wear a size 4 dress pant and a size 8 dress too. I think they tend to run small.
