Thread: How early have u brought ur dress??

I am getting married in May 2012 and ordered my dress on 22nd Oct. I am currently a 22 hips and bust and a 24 waist :-( but have ordered a 22 dress BUT want to get to an 18!! Really really want to. Have checked and the dress can be altered down the way by 2 sizes (the bust is the hardest part to alter apparently) and at a push can be altered up the way by 1 size. So I have to lose 2 sizes or gain none!!
I LOVE my dress though so hoping I can lose some so I feel even more special.

I went couple of weeks ago, lady said it best if I come back In april/march as it best to have dress altered max 2 dress sizes as it loses its shape, I am a 12 at present dress was a 14 so hopefully I will be at goal or as near as I can be by march. I'm getting married in October

Hi, I've just ordered my dress a a month ago, I get married June 2012. I ordered mine two sizes smaller, got the measurements through and I need to lose 5 inches from my hips and bust and need to lose 4 from the waist. I have 7 months, just re-joined slimming world today, trying to not concentrate on the weight and think more of the inches!

I get measured for my dress to be made at the end of march (so I have 4 months to go) I get married October 2012 so once they make my dress they said they will do one lot of alterations end of July.

I got married in July this year and chose my off the rack but it was beautiful nether the less 2 months before my wedding on Cambridge diet and it was altered from a size 14 to a 10
Hope this helps

I got married in Oct 2011 - and i went to look at dresses Feb/March time.

I ordered it in a smaller size, and it still had to be taken in when i had my fitting (end of September)

My dress was designer (Maggie Sottero) and took 6 months to arrive.
