    Hello ladies!!
    Im after some advice really, I have 6 BM (I know lol) all of whom are VERY different sizes and shapes so it is going to be hard enough. But 1 of them is pregnant atm, but is due 5 months before the wedding, but obviously her size and shape could change quite dramatically, and another is trying to fall pregnant, so could/couldn't be by the time of the wedding...SO when would you recommend I start shopping for their dresses? I found the most perfect perfect dresses the other day, and on offer too so was thrilled (since decided against as apparently Id have to pay import tax on them) but I asked all the BM for their measurements and obviously the 2 were like well, they might be different by then, and 2 of them havent even replied (grrrr) so it did make me stop and think should I wait!!! Only problem is, the colour (sky/aqua blue) is really in fashion at the moment, meaning I probably wont be able to find it anywhere after xmas lol!!!

    Sorry this is long, need help!!!!! xx

    Also if anyone has some great suggestions for where to get BM dresses on a budget please post on my wall :) THANK YOU!!!

    I'd start looking now. 10 months isn't too early, it's just the right time. You have some options. You could buy a dress in a forgiving cut and/or fabric (full maxi styles, empire waists, jersey fabric). Order the dresses a couple sizes to big for pregnant BM & TTC BM as it's easier to take in a dress rather than let it out. Or order maternity dresses for both, again can be taken in as needed.

    Thank you! You're right I should be able to look now, and yes getting it bigger is a good idea cos like u say it can be taken in but cant add material into a smaller one lol, thanks :)
