Do wedding dresses typically run small?

I have never understood why they would size things like this! A few years ago I went to my friends fitting and there was another bride there freaking out yelling at the saleswoman for suggesting she order a size 6 based on her measurements. She was yelling that she is a size zero has never worn a size 6 before in her life. (Which kinda made me want to puke). But I learned then that the sizing is obnoxious. That being said, you just have to ignore the number and enjoy looking beautiful in your wedding dress.

That dress looks beautiful on you!! Don't worry about the number, after all it is just a #. Feeling gorgeous & being comfortable is what is most important!

Bridal dresses are said to to run much smaller compared to regular/street clothing.
be prepared to go 2-4 sizes bigger than your regular size depending on designer, style, and material of the dress.

The dress looks great on you.
