Question about BM Dresses and The correct size to order...

I was just doing some searching through the boards about LYnbrook bridal...

One complain was that a size 20 was ordered when a size 12 was needed (the girl lost 25 lbs or something?)

But my question is...Can you insist on have them NOT order that big of a size for you?
Alternations do cap at $50.00...so you're not paying for 'exentensive dress surgery'..;
Is there a way to work around this ?

When I was a bridesmaid (three times), I always ordered the dress only TWO sizes bigger than I was. To alter a dress fom a 20 to fit a size 12, IMO, would not look good. I am not a seamstress or anything, but it sounds like it could very easily be out of proportion. That sounds like too much fabric to take in. JMO.

You can but they make you sign off on it--and if it comes in too small then it is your fault & you would have to lose weight or order another dress. I ordered my BM dresses from them and they ordered around the right size of the girls---all my girls ordered a dress that was around their normal size or one size higher because they run small. I haven't had a problem with them yet.
