What should I do?? confused

Okay, I love this dress. It is very cheap because it is a sample. I tried it on this morning but I didn't really get to see it cause there were no mirrors (it was at a warehouse) and it doesn't zipper all the way. I'm contemplating on whether or not I should buy it. Would you buy a dress that doesn't zipper with the intentions of losing 15 pounds??

Absolutely not! Even with the best intentions, you could lose 20 lbs, but it might not fit right. Why take the risk?

Did you check to see how much it would be to order your size from the manufacturer? It might not be that much more. Also, lots of manufacturers have similar style dresses to each other. Check around.

Just my two cents.

Good luck!

I wouldn't buy any dress unless it fits me the day of purchase. Maintaining is WAY easier than losing, and what if you don't lose? Then you'll have this dress that doesn't fit and you're way too close to your wedding.

Is this a wedding gown? Can you go back and have someone take pictures? I wouldn't buy anything I couldn't fully see.

I wouldn't risk it either. You're only got 3 months until your wedding, I would order/buy something I know will be a better fit.

I agree with what everyone else is saying... I would wait, take pictures of it and maybe get it somewhere else...

nope- I wouldn't do it. I bought my dress pretty much exacctly my size, I have been trying to loose weight jsut because I am not happy with my current weight, & I ended up GAINING so you never know! You can't always control it.

Re: What should I do?? confused

thanks girls for your comments. I think if I lose about 10 pounds it would be fine, but I don't know if I should take the chance. There is no way I could get the size bigger.
