    Hi All,

    Can any help me with this one
    How many dress sizes can a wedding dress be taken in????

    I have seen a dress on the bay of e. (Roland Joyce) I have tried on exact same dress a a shop but it was least 2 sizes too big ( size 22). I do love it and it looked good, looked even better when the fitted it to me ( with pegs)but as I am currently loosing weight. which is why I did not buy it then. The dress on the bay of e is a NWT & size 18.
    My thoughts are that this will fit in most places now ( still a little big on the waist) but if I do loose more weight how many sizes can it be taken in???

    2 sizes is the standard but it depends on the detail etc

    I was told 2 sizes also but depends on the style too, you don't want to lose any detail etc xx

    I'm really glad you've asked this, as I was wondering the same thing! 2 sizes is a good guideline :-) xx

    I was also wondering this as in Feb i tried on a size 12 dress which fitted perfectly, i have gained a few pounds and ave seen my dress for sale on FB size 12-14 and was wondering whether it would be ok to buy and whether it fit.
    BTW....bridal shop told me two sizes aswell

    Hi,
    I actually got my dress from bay of e after all, I pick it up next week.
    what I actually did was try on a few dresses in the same style and size from the same brand just to make sure it would fit.
