Because each person's situation is a bit different, it can be difficult to give a single answer. However, we do have a few guidelines that can help you decide.
Even if you plan to lose weight, we recommend ordering your dress about 4 months before the event date. If the dress is too big, you may have time to reorder another size (if production times allow). If there's not enough time to reorder, you can always have the dress altered locally. We never recommend ordering a smaller size than your current measurements, as you can never be sure how your body may change.
Remember, it is always easier to take in a dress than to let it out!
If the bride allows it, a Mesh style may be a better option since these dresses are made with stretchier materials and may be more forgiving than our stiffer Chiffon dresses. Mesh fabric dyes differently than Chiffon, so be sure to order a color swatch and discuss this with the bride before ordering.
If you need help deciding which style or size to order, or would like a more detailed recommendation on when to order, please reach out to our amazing customer service team!
