I was sleeved april 2 and lost almost 60 lbs so far. I am in a wedding in three months and had to order a dress today. A size 16 fit and a size 14 could almost zip up. The sales people kept telling me to get the 16, but I know how my body has been losing. I went with the 14 thinking even that may need to be taken in by then. Was u wrong to assume and order the smaller size?

Its great that your dress came in and fits! I am in a wedding on 9/1. When I went to buy it a 16 would not zipper I bought the 14 and now its too big I have a friend who can do the alterations so I'm waiting to the extreme last minute to have them done.

I have a friend who can do the same!

I know that I have gone from a 20 to a loose 14 in three months if that helps!

That does help thanks. I'm also starting at a size 20. It's so hard to even know what shape/style dress will even be flattering on me at a smaller size! It's exciting and nerve wracking all at the same time!

Who knows HOW small you'll be by then. :0) The sales people aren't used to dealing with sleeved customers.

You may fir perfectly into the 14 or you may be a lot smaller. All of our bodies are different.

Good Luck!

This is the same dress my sister is looking at for her wedding in April of next year. Is that the color yours will be too? What did you end up doing about the size? When is the wedding this month?

We're supposed to go on November 23rd for a fitting. I'm getting sleeved Nov. 4th so I'll just be starting my weight loss. I'll hopefully need a way smaller size by Feb/March but they're saying it takes so long to get it in....ugh.

Yup, you may need to get the dress closer to the date. The same thing happen to me last year. I tried on a size 10. It fit perfectly. I bought a size 6. Four months later the size 6 dress was getting too big. I had to slack up exercising an eat lots of nuts to keep from losing too much more weight so I would not have to pay for expensive alterations.

I'm experiencing the same thing right now! My sister's wedding is in July and she wants to dress shop for us bridesmaids in January. My sleeve procedure is scheduled for the beginning of February and I have no clue where I will be several months later. What to do....what to do..,

Just a thought, is it very expensive? can you order two and return the one that is too big or too small closer to the time? I realize that sounds strange but if it is not altered maybe you can get your money back for one. good luck. love sara

You were smart to get the 14. I think you could be closer to a twelve but easier to take in than let out.
