Last weekend i went with one of my girls to try on bridesmaid dresses. The samples they had were a size 10. When she tried on the dress it was too small to zip, by like a good amount. They said she should order a 14. I'm ordering the dresses this tuesday and she wants me to order her a 10 because she says she's going to loose 20-40 pounds before the wedding... This is SO risky. We all know the rule that you could always take in a dress but if its too small your stuck. Were already cutting it really close with the dresses and right now it looks like they will be in 6 weeks before the wedding. If the dress comes in and its still too small theres no way to loose that much weight in 6 weeks!
I really think this is a terrible idea. I just don't want to hurt her feeling and tell her how riskey this is. I don't know what to do!! If the dress comes in and she can't fit into it then what do we do?
Do you think maybe i could just order the right size and tell her the dress shop messed up....I just SO don't wanna hurt her feelings. I know myself weight topics are SO touchy and i would NEVER want to hurt the feelings of my friend who i love so much.

Order the correct dress size. If she loses the weight, then great the dress can be taken in.

We're not talking 5-10 vanity lbs that she can loose in a few weeks....20-40 lbs is tough!
And, to lose that much weight in 5 months is going to make her resort to crash diets and an unhealthy lifstyle.
Order the bigger size. If she loses a ton of weight and it's too big, offer to help pay for alterations.
ITA, was going to say the same thing. You should be prepared to pay any extra costs that may be involved if the gown is huge on her. Also, I would tell her what you're doing, so you don't have to look sneaky. Just say, 'Listen, I know you understand how stressful it has been for me with this whole wedding planning. It would really relieve a lot of my stress if we could order the dress in the larger size...' etc.

i would just order the right size, 20-40 pounds is not only ALOT to lose but also a few sizes different. even if she only loses 20 she will still not fit.
let her yell and ***** all she wants but in the end she will be happy she doesnt look like 20 pounds in a 10 pound bag...

Definately order the right size. They can always take it in! June is not that far to lose 40 lbs!
