I bought my dress at christmas in anticipation of my wedding in August. I bought a size 8 dress, since then I have lost a bit of weight and now my dress is miles too big. It is going to need to be adjusted quite a bit I think. Still, I'd rather it this way than too small on the day.
Good luck ladies for your attempts and goals! I hope you make them, the same as I hope I maintain until my big day and honeymoon! =)
