All bridesmaid dresses ordered!

Number sizes are dumb! I find dress designers are starting to get more inclusive with their models, but still a long way to go. I almost cried when I tried on a 10 and had boobs spilling everywhere/couldn't get the dress zipped up!

It sucks your sister is being a pain, is she older or younger than you? Now that the dresses are ordered, there's not much to be done

Why do people need to stress over sizes? My sister (who is a petite person) even ordered a dress size smaller for her MOH dress and just plans to tone up before then. It's nuts that people can't accept just going a size larger just in case.

I'm glad to hear that someone who was stressing you out apologized! I guess they realized that they might have been wrong lol.

UGH. I wear a size 12/14 in stores, and my wedding dress was a 16. People need to relax. No one sees the tag when you're wearing it, they only see you, and if you're spilling out, you look bad.

Just remind her most people need to get alterations anyways, so if it's too big, she can have it perfectly tailored to her.

Congrats on getting it done though! Big load off your mind!

My sister is aware of the difference as she was in previous weddings before. She is just very stubborn and not listening. She bailed on the apt because she didn't want to drive hour and half, the other girl who lives same city was able to come. She had her many excuses and told her if she made it she could have chose the size to order.

I was pretty upset as I didn't know until my first apt when trying on dresses. Everyone else in the wedding party was fine with it.

It meant a lot the other person was able to apologize and get past it. Makes things a lot easier

Oh lord, if people could just look past their vanity and loo past the number we wouldn't have problems like this :/

I'm so glad you got that dealt with! Glad the other stresser was big enough to admit her mistakes to you.

I would try to not worry about your sister too much, I don't have one so I can't imagine if they can be a pain. Has she ever gone shopping at a bridal store before? She might not realize that street sizes DO NOT EQUAL bridal sizes (that includes bridesmaids dresses). Also it is way easier for a seamstress to take in a dress than to let it out.

I know some of my bridesmaids have no experience in a bridal salon at all so I'll be sure to let them know about size differences beforehand and to (try) and not get disappointed if they are measured in a larger size. I'm still not over the fact that I'm a bridal 14 even though I'm a street size 10 lol

The measurements the lady gave her meant she would be an 18 and she refused to order it. We ordered her a size 14 -.- and she is so mad at me over the fact its not a 12. But at least it is done! and btw I had a bridesmaid who was told she is a 18 and she ordered a 14 cuz thats the dress size of her wedding dress. She bought the wedding dress and it didn't fit her thinking she could loose the weight. Her wedding is before mine and shes no where close to fitting it. Fingers crossed for her sake she does

What a great thing to check off your list!

I feel like everyone has that one bridesmaid that thinks they are one size when really they aren't. Especially ones who are more gifted in the chest area (def not me lol)

Happy to hear that the dress ordeal is done! I have a BM that want to lose weight and boy am I worried she will want to order a dress too small Why are things like buying a dress so darn difficult???

Yay! One item checked off the to do list. Not to worry about your sister.. one of my bridesmaids wanted to order a size smaller as well, but it was quite tight, so we ordered a size bigger. That way, we can always alter it smaller to fit perfectly versus having it look ill fitting. Sisters will be sisters and she’ll get over it! My sister is a pain to deal with too!!
