Just a caveat about weight loss. the very last thing you want to do is buy a dress and then regain weight before the wedding. with all the celebrating in the last month, plus crunch for time meaning fewer workouts those happy poulds can happen. Realistically how many dress sizes do you really think? You can always get something altered if you lose weight. and skin tight on wedding day is not comfy anyway. Try some place like JJHouse where you can try samples for free.
I second JJ’s House! I also had some weight fluctuation before my wedding and JJ’s House was great. I ordered a style I liked in a normal size. Then I returned it and sent in my measurements for a custom size. It fit perfectly and I didn’t have to get it altered. They are pretty quick, less than 6 weeks to get my dress, so you can wait a little closer to the wedding.
Also, they were so cheap I was able to get two dresses (a full length and then a shorter one for the reception) for $550 total.
Start looking as soon as possible!!! Don’t worry about losing weight. Find a dress that flatters you in your current state and then if you happen to lose weight anyway you can just have it taken in a bit. It’s much less pressure this way.
10-12 months
Agreed. Bought my dress at 9mo and they said timing would be tight (it ended up being right on time, but they wanted to make sure it would be guaranteed by the manufacturer).
Then, get it tailored 2-3mo before the wedding.
I ordered some ready made dresses from Reformation and Rewritten Bridesmaids about 6 months before my wedding. Chose the Rewritten dress as it was absolutely stunning. Very true to size and only had to shorten the train.
