ok ladies, my dress is that jasmine couture strapless with the flower appliques & black sash & flowers - I have to get a hem to hollow & would like to get that done in November. My concern is if I loose more weight. Lengthwise I can always just add more in the slip to fill out the bottom if it drops a little. However, with the appliques what do I do if it needs to be taken in A LOT?????? I am hoping to really loose a good amount of weight by the wedding and that could mean much more than the 1 size that they usually allow for. Any advice?

Re: dress sizing & weight loss
I was told most dresses can be taken in up to 2 sizes. Check with the seamstress on your particular dress though.

I've heard the 2 size thing too. Anything more than that can kill the structure of the dress....def check with the alterations dept though!

Re: dress sizing & weight loss
i hope that 2 size thing is not correct...i am ordering a dress in a size 12 (because of my big a ) but my top is only a size 6. they told me they can take it in without a problem...i hope they are right!!!
def check with the alterations dept; they will give you the best advice. after all, they would not want an unhappy bride!!! i would hope any good alterations dept will be able to handle whatever changes are necessary.

Re: dress sizing & weight loss
ok, 2 sizes, that would seem fine, that's all I really want to drop really... I'd love to see a size 10, but I DO NOT THINK THAT WILL HAPPEN. lol.... If I can get down to a size 12 I would be THRILLED! Maybe instead of ordering the 18 I would order the 16, but we shall see what I can do in 1 & 1/2 months!

Re: dress sizing & weight loss
if you have a good seamstress. . .i think anything could be done!
my friend paid for the hollow to hem and the dress came in several inches long. they told her to get higher shoes. . .she said helll no. They had to fix it b/c they mismeasured (she didn't have any body changes).
and I've heard of people needing a dress (one with hollow to hem) to be taken in several sizes (around 8ish. it was misordered).

Re: dress sizing & weight loss
It really depends on the dress. The Alterations department will give you the best advise.
