Dress Size Question

So.....I ordered my dress back in December - I have since joined WW and have already lost 14 lbs and counting.....should I call the place? How much is too much for them to take in??? I don't know what to do...Has this happened to anyone else?

Can't hurt to talk to them about it and it'll calm your nerves

Re: Dress Size Question

i wouldn't worry too much about it. i've realized recently that ANYthing can be done. My cousin got her wedding gown in last year, and it came in 4 sizes bigger than she ordered!!!!! they didn't know what happened, she couldn't get a new dress so they needed to do what they had to do to make it work.

also, i lost 20 lbs by the time my dress came in a couple of weeks ago. . .it was a tad big, but i was hoping for that so I could have it taken in.
i'm hoping to lose at least another 10-15 lbs.

I was told a good steamstress can take in up to 4 sizes without ruininhg the structure of the dress

Congrats on the weight loss! In general, 10 pounds is a size. From my understanding , if you're within 4 sizes of your original dress size you're OK , more then that its more problematic. So you're good to go!
