Wedding dress altering after weight loss?

churchgirl

I purchased my ball gown style wedding dress and it is a size 14 (my current size) I knew I would have to get it altered anyways, but how many sizes can they alter the dress without it looking bad?

I have already lost 9 lbs and i have 36 lbs more to lose in order to reach a healthy weight. I carry my weight mostly in my legs, butt, and breasts. How many sizes would it take me down do you think? Im 5'6 if it helps to know :-)

Serious answers only, please and thank you :-)

I weigh 186 lbs and Im a 38 D

I bought my wedding dress in December. Since then I've lost 45 pounds. Now I can't even wear my dress. They can only alter dresses 2 sizes down. Any more then it will be a whole new dress and cost a fortune in altering. Plus, my dress was a plus size. By my wedding I'm planning on being a total of 65 pounds down. So now I have an extra wedding dress that I can't do anything with. Going to try and sell it on Ebay or something.

I am a plus size woman, and I need a dress for August. I know it is a ways away, but being plus size doesn't allow to me to just go to a regular store even around prom season to go to my nearest department store to find the dress of my dreams. Most dresses my size if I even find one, are suited to people in a older age. Please help!
