Aww hunny wedding dress sizes can be upto 2 sizes smaller (I'm a 14 and have a size 18 wedding dress) so if you do need the bigger size don't be upset xxx

As Future mrs mac said, wedding dress sizes tend to come up differently. I've not got mine yet but when my sister ordered hers it was ordered in a size 12 .................she's a 6/8!!! It didn't need much alteration either when it came in. So don't stress hun xx

Wedding dress sizes are weird! Just think how amazing you'll look in it try not to think of the size xx

Oh no wonder you feel blue.Your babies are all growing up and don't need you anymore.....wrong they'll need you more than ever! My 22 year old needs mothering just as much if not more than my 7 year old lol! You have done so well with your weight loss and you should be proud. Your littlest one needs you to show her how to be a strong confident woman as she herself embarks on these difficult teenage years so like it or not you still have plenty of mothering ahead of you.
As the other ladies have said don't worry about what the label says it really doesn't matter.Hope you feel better tomorrow xxx

please take no notice of the size on the dress!! wedding dress sizes are really weird!!!

Thanks ladies for your kind words i am feeling little better now, altho its lashing it down today lol

Good luck, I'm sure you will look and feel amazing xx

hun i'm a size 16/18 and had to order a size 20/22 wedding dress it really depressed me but i looked past it and saw what an amazing shape the corset gave me, just don't pay attention to the size, the ladies in my bridal shop didn't even tell me what size they were ordering so they didn't upset me but its on the receipt but i don't care cos i looked great in it :-)

Take no notice of the size on the label, cut it out if it makes you feel better. As long as it fits and you will look stunning thats all you need to worry about x x

first off when I walked in she didn’t recognize me lol, it had only been 7 months and when she clicked who I was she was shocked how much weight I’d lost, she measured me and said I was between the 20 and 22 in Ronald Joyce dress sizes and that I had a perfect hour glass figure lol (no one has ever said that to me before I’m sure she was just being nice), anyway she asked me to try on another of his dresses in a size 18 because it was the same cut as my dress but not 'the one' and she could see were I was on that size, well I felt soooo slim and amazing I looked totally different in it, when I added it up I have lost 17" just from around my waist so you can imagine how different I looked, I was shocked the dress only had a 1 " gap! So she recommended ordering me a size 18 I can't believe it! I have months to lose just 1" I know what you’re saying about sizes but it really felt good when I was walking out of that shop, I felt proud of myself which I hadn’t done in a long time; ) hopefully I can get some pics of me in my wedding dress when it gets here in a few months time ; D I’m so excited lol

Wow! 17 inches?! That is fantastic, well done you you should be so so proud!!

Thats fab news, well done you x

Amazing achievement on the weight /inch loss,i bet you are walking on air.Well done you and so glad you had such a positive experience at your fitting xxx
