BM dress vent
I just ordered a BM dress for a wedding I am in. I got measured and (remember I just had a baby) the woman at the shop said my measurements put me in a size 16.
Seriously. I weigh 120 pounds. I'm 5'6! I wear a size 26 in 7FAM jeans and a size 2 at BR. Are these brands seriously THAT vanity sized?!
Re: BM dress vent
Sometimes they go by your biggest size? Maybe your boobs are out of control?! I know my friend's hips measurement made her dress size go up a few sizes. Weird!
Seriously, do not worry about it. I've been in, what, 5 or 6 weddings and I probably had a different dress size for every single one. And my hip measurements ALWAYS are like two sizes bigger than all my other measurements on their stupid little charts. I'm convinced that BM dress sizes correlate to absolutely nothing at all.
You are tiny. You know you're tiny. Don't sweat it.
I got so riled up I forgot to comment on the actual size they told you. I think SCM has a very good point, I think some of it is a racket. Did they tell you what your measurements were so you can compare it to the sizing chart? I can't imagine that you should be ordering anything bigger than a 4 (maybe a 6 since some of the systems are crazy).
I see a lot of alterations in your future. That's ridiculous.
I would go with your gut and order the size you think or one up just to make sure you have room for a few alterations. Or go and see if you can try on the dress (or one by that company that is a similar silhouette) to get a general idea of how it would look.
But they know I'm out of state- so they aren't getting my money in them!
It's okay, it's just that it will cost extra $ in alterations. It's just dumb.
Another BM is a size 12 street clothing and had to order a size 24. WTF?
This all just gets a huge WTF from me.
