Hi everyone,
I'm bridesmaid in my dear friend's wedding in 5 weeks time (at 37.5 weeks prego!). The company that makes the dress is custom making me a maternity dress to match the others. The latest I can order is in the next couple of days to be sure it arrives in time. Any thoughts on how many inches I might gain in the bust and bump in this time? I know my bust is already 4 inches bigger than it was pre-pregnancy and I probably need to add at least an inch, but what about bump? I haven't got a clue!
Thanks!

    It depends on what baby does! From week 32 to 37, my waist has only changed 2 inches, but with my last one, it was A LOT more. I would at least add 4 inches and if it's somewhat stretchy material, you should be ok.

    My sister went through this with my wedding. We ordered her dress a couple sizes bigger than she was and had to have it altered the week before the wedding. You just never know exactly HOW your body will change. Good luck!

    Thank ladies, I;ve ordered it, erring on the bigger side and if it's too big I can take it in as I'm pretty handy with a needle. I'll still be nervous until it arrives!
