Q. I'm helping a friend of mine plan her May 2009 wedding. (I am engaged, but not ready to "tie the knot" any time soon.) She hasn't been able to find a dress she likes, we've scowered the internet and it's still a toss up, she likes the ruffled/gathered bottoms (I don't know what they are called) but I can't find any pictures of what they look like on p/s brides and most bridal stores/boutiques don't offer too many styles in p/s (to actually try on). Any ideas are welcome.... it's going to be an indoor church wedding if that helps.

Plus size wedding dress and weight loss?

I am getting married in October 2009 and I am a plus size bride. I have found the dress that I am absolutely in love with (I hate bridal shops) http://www.kiyonna.com/12060909-p-Bridal_Dresses.html?sblid=12060909
My question is, I would like to lose a few pounds before my wedding, but I want to order my dress now so I know I have it and dont have to worry about it going discontinued on me or something. I dont want to order it in any size that is too small for me now, I want to order what fits me now, even if i lose some weight later. Will this dress be easy enough for a seamstress to take in, if I shrink a size or two? I dont think theres any beads or anything like that, its just fabric with lace over it. Please only answer if you actually know the answer to this question or have an idea.
Answer
It can be taken in, as far as easy for a seamstress it depends on her skills. (or his) It will cost you a pretty penny to have it altered. Your best bet is to buy it take it to a seamstress and ask her how much to do the alterations. If you're willing to pay the additional cost go for it. If not take it back to the store within your return period. Alterations can cost anywhere from 200-1000 depending on what is being done. (Also if you lose too much weight, no matter how skilled the seamstress she will ultimately be sewing the dress from scratch and the dress will end up costing you double.)
