I am in my friends wedding in July this year and bought my bridesmaid dress back in January. At the time I had to order a size 12..... this weekend my dress came in and I tried it on. I have to get it majorly altered!! I have to take it in about 2 1/2 inches in the bust, 2 in the waist, and 3 in the hips!! I am thinking this makes it about a size 8!! woo hoo!

I am sooooo excited! Just thought I would share!! I have been able to achieve this in just less than 4 months! Keep up the good work people!!!

    Same with me!!! My sisters wedding is June 25th. I have lost 25 lbs. And who knows how many inches. The dress is a 20 but I am thinking it should be a 16 now. Woot!

    Awesome! Congrats! Maybe the bridal store has the 8 you can exchange it for so you don't have to pay for all those alterations.

    Congrats!! Me too!! My best friend is getting married next weekend (June 11/11), we ordered our dresses in January of 2010. I ordered 1 size smaller than my measurements, making it a 12, I am now having it taken in about 2 inches in the bust and 2.5 in the waist!!

    Doesn't it feel fantastic to be smaller?!! :P

    I just found a bridesmaids dress for my bestfriends wedding, I am the maid of honor and the only bridesmaid....my dress is a size 22(I have big boobs! My hips and waist were size 16)!!! The girl helping us did tell me that their dresses are 2-3 sizes smaller than what I would regularly wear but it still killed me but motivated me more! I am working to lose another 25lbs by the wedding(Sept. 24th) so hopefully I'll be able to enjoy this same thrill! Congrats!

    So awesome! Such a great feeling. My sister's getting married in September. We sized the dresses in December, the dress was discontinued so we had to get them immediately, I was down 2 sizes. Then around when I thought I'd dropped another size, I called around and they had a left over another size smaller. I think it looks great now, but would love to be another size down by then! Congratulations!
