need advice...i'm supposed to be in a bridal party (long)

and I just found out last week that i'm preggers. Here is the dilemma...

My MOH is getting married, her wedding was supposed to be in January but they broke up etc and then postponed to Memorial Day weekend. The problem is that she was the shittiest MOH I could have ever imagined, this is someone I grew up with, we were like sisters and she treated me like she didn't give a crap! She even ditched me a few hrs before my bachelorette party, claimed to be sick, but I believe her fiance didnt want her going out. She didnt help plan my bridal shower at all, came to the wedding with him and sat there all night crying and fighting with him and then told me she had a horrible time at my wedding. I basically never wanted to talk to her again but I was giving her the benefit of the doubt....

Anyway fast forward to this week, I find out i'm preggers, still too soon to tell anyone outside of the family but I get a text from her that in march we have to start going for our fittings for the BM dresses. There's no way this dress will fit me, I was measured last March (since her wedding was supposed to be in Jan) and I was sooo thin bc I was dieting for my own wedding. I was like 108 lbs, I'm already heavier than last yr.

What should I do? Should I tell her in a few weeks I can't do it? I don't want to have to buy another dress after I already put $100 deposit down for this dress that I'll never wear. I have a feeling if I go to the store where we ordered the lady will make me pay the balance of the original dress if I order another dress....I can't afford 2 dresses, nor would I ever expect someone to ever do that for me. To top it off the dresses are platinum with black lace so it's hard to find something that would match

What should I say to her?

So this isnt the type of dress you can have fabric added to or will 'grow with you'?

If you are really that unhappy with her, I would definitly say no. Weddings go better friction free...and it'll be better for you and for her. And if she has her heart set on you wearing that dress, you could definitly tell her you cant do it because your pregnant and then that way you can avoid a fight...unless you wanna tell her how you really feel ...

I would just say that since you're preggers (Obviously once you tell her) that you'd be more comfortable just not being in the BP. Make something up that you've been feeling like hell and blahblahblah and that while you'd like to be by her side, you just don't 'feel' up to it! Add that to the 'having to buy another dress' and it looks like you have your out! lol

I wouldn't even care about being nice about it either after what she did to you!

maybe you can just order extra fabric! my MOH was nine months prego at my wedding and she has always been a skinny little thing, but they told her to order a new dress there was no way they can fix the old one, but im telling you they woould up taking soo much extra fabric off of the maternity dress im 100% they could have fixed the old dress!!
