    Measurements

    Situation:

    Currently saving up for a wedding dress of the strapless and sleeveless type, I just think they're better designed. Along with this I've also been browsing E-Bay and wedding shops in other towns.

    Problem:

    Normal dresses I don't have a problem (Size 16-18 +- Manufacturing differences) However I would like the wedding dress to fit proper(lyish) so do I take measurements as per instructions on getting measured (By some sellers on E-bay) or adjust as appropiate as I know my bra size etc.

    And yes I know this topics been shot to death but I did a search and nothing was brought up

    Wedding gowns are commonly fitted to the wearer when they are purchased. If you get a size close to yours but a bit large, you can have it fitted by any competent seamstress after you get it. You will really enjoy this. It's fun to get a gown fitted to you exactly and you will LOVE the fit.

    Can't help you too much in terms of specific details on measuring except to note:

    1. The likelihood of a wedding dress fitting you without alterations is basically nil. Plan on having a seamstress do some fine tuning.

    2. Wedding dresses generally run small to size. If you are usually a 16-18, you will probably be looking at 20 and maybe even 22 in wedding dress land. Plan accordingly. (I have never understood what motivates designers to make a girl think she is a size bigger on her wedding day, but that must be the GM in me talking....)

    Good luck!
