I had my bypass 1/10 and am currently a size 20. I am a bridesmaid 5/18 and lucky me gets to guess what size I will be then and bet $200 on it! What were your dress size changes five months out? Hoping this can get me a better estimate!

My best guess would be a 16-18. They run small anyways. I am 3 months post op and went from 22w to now comfortably a 16. I am 5'8

Maybe a 14. As you are a 20 now

I was a 26 now i am a 18 avg a size a month surgery 9/19

Remember that if you are a size 20 now, that usually means a 22 formal dress size. I have the same issue right now, but the wedding is in fall, so I will almost be a year out.

Is it an A-line dress? If so, I would take your bust/chest measurement and go from that. My guess would be you would want to order around a 16, so size 14 regular clothing. But I would start by having them take your current measurements and then drop 2 sizes,. You can let out a dress only 1 size usually, but can take in 2-3 and it will usually look fine. So I would be safe and drop it 2 sizes from your current, measuring from your chest measurement. I am buying 2 dresses, but they are only $121 each, so I am buying one that is 1 size smaller 16 weeks prior to the wedding and 1 dress that is 4 sizes smaller. But if your dress is $200, I wouldnt want to order two,

Thanks everyone! I went with a size 16 after we did all the measurements and knew 20 was a perfect fit today. Ill have time to get it tailored should I need to go down smaller. I'd rather have more to work with.

Really appreciate your help!!

I think 14/13 by May would be great. Keep us posted:)
