How to Shop For and Buy Your Wedding Dress
The Size Discrepancy Dilemma
Ordering the correct size for your bridal gown or bridesmaid's dresses can be a frustrating experience. Most shops carry sample gowns in a size 10. If you're not a size 10, you're going to have to use your imagination when selecting your wedding dress. It can be difficult to envision yourself in a gown that doesn't fit. Always take along your mother or maid of honor to get an honest opinion. If you are smaller than a 10, have the consultant pin the gown on you to determine the fit. If you are larger than a 10, get into the dress as best you can. Once you've made your decision, the bridal salon will order the gown in your size.
