Wedding Dress Sample Size- What Size is it?
So I'm watching Say Yes to the Dress....which I've never done before... and it was mentioned that the average wedding sample dress is a size is 10.
Is that about right, ladies?
That might be a nice goal...I would love to fit into sample sizes someday.
It seem as if sample sizes for rings and shoes are both 7. However, I have a 5.5 ring size and a size 10 foot. I would love to finally be able to fit into a sample size.

Re: Wedding Dress Sample Size- What Size is it?
What is the average "street size" for a bridal size 10? Ha
So the SYTTD that's I'm watching is for plus size gals...and sometimes it's so sad. I don't want to cry when trying on wedding dresses.
[QUOTE]When I went with my BFF, David's Bridal told us their sizes, well she said bridal sizes in general are about a size off. So she said a wedding dress size 10 is a normal person size 8. Proved to be true when BFF got her dress. But depending on the designer it can be different. A lot of the higher end designers will range differently than that. I'm not sure how the Vera Wang for DB is sized, but designer brands tend to be smaller in wedding and non wedding sizes regardless. For example, <strong>a Target Merona size 8 could differ from a gap size 8, will definitely differ from an Old Navy size 8 (Old Navy, in my experience, runs sooo large. Makes me feel great to fit into such a small size there), but generally all of those will be bigger than a designer jean which is sized 8. Or Marc Jacobs dress sized 8.</strong> So your Vera's, your Monique Lhuillier's, your Amsale's sample size 10's might very well be a "real person" size 6.

</div><div>Oh man. This retail sizing game drives me nuts. Pretty soon every store will be so vastly different that we'll have to learn different sizes for every brand/store we try. They might as well make up their own names for sizes, like Starbucks. <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-tongue-out.gif" border="0" alt="Tongue out" title="Tongue out" />

At David's Bridal, I told them I needed a size 4. The girl looked at me funny and brought a 6 which was too big. My actual dress (Camille LaVie) is a 4, and it turns out I should have ordered a 2. I just thought there is no way I should fit in a 2. Sizing is horribly inconsistent, and I found even the size charts aren't always all that helpful.

Still here and still fabulous!
