Play it safe and order a size that fits your current body. Any dress can be taken in, typically up to four sizes without affecting the look of the dress, but most can only be let out one full size—if that. “You need to be realistic, in case you don’t lose your targeted weight,” says DeMarco.
What size clothes will I wear when I lose weight?
Keep in mind the 10lb rule For every 10lbs you lose, you can expect to go roughly down 1 size in clothes. Use a whole new wardrobe/nicer clothes as motivation but don’t buy clothes in aspirational “goal” sizes. Buy clothes that make you look good for the size you are now.
Should you size up in a wedding dress?
Unfortunately, based on European bridal sizing, many women are required to wear up to two sizes larger than their American size. So, don’t stress if your normal size seems snug in a wedding gown or bridesmaid dress. It’s not that European women are so much smaller than American women.
What if I lose weight after wedding dress fitting?
If your dress doesn’t fit after you’ve ordered it, or even after it arrives, don’t worry too much. “If a bride loses weight, the gown will be taken in at each fitting appointment until it fits perfectly.

Is 2 years too early to buy a wedding dress?

Should I buy clothes if I’m losing weight?
The rule of thumb, Fernstrom says, is that losing 8 to 10 pounds translates to going down one size. Still, if you lose “up to 15 pounds, you may be OK in your old size,” she says. But putting off buying new clothes until you really need them doesn’t work for everyone.
Does compression help with belly fat?
As mentioned above compression garments give an illusion of weight loss by shaping your body and nothing more. There is no evidence yet that proves compression can help one lose weight. In fact, any artificial support to the body tissues may slow your weight loss by damaging the support muscles in that area.
Does shoe size change when you lose weight?
Most people plan to purchase a new wardrobe as their pants and shirts may loosen up with weight loss, but new shoes are something you may not have expected. Significant weight loss can result in going down a full shoe size. When you lose weight, you lose it all over your body, including places like your hands and feet.
