I'd go for that! She told a horror story of a woman who bought one 2 sizes small because she "knew" she would lose the weight so ended up with a dress that was actually 4 sizes small so no go...that would not make me feel good.

And both times when the wedding dress arrived, it fit slightly oddly. Not that this will be a comfort to you....<BR/><BR/>(I tell myself it's because my hips are larger, so I'm a size eight for things that take in hip measurements. That's what I like to believe....)<BR/><BR/>Good luck not eating wedding cake - I love the stuff!Thorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04564924243186464304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869329841369921947.post-67391395811835646722009-04-08T07:01:00.000+02:002009-04-08T07:01:00.000+02:00You're not intmating that it's rude to ask what si...You're not intmating that it's rude to ask what size people are are you?

Unfortunately I ordered sizes mostly smaller than they were, so it was a little awkward. "Oh, sorry, I thought you were a 6 or 8 at the most." Oh well, it worked itself out.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11486223394459963669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869329841369921947.post-51038136031952582082009-04-07T21:59:00.000+02:002009-04-07T21:59:00.000+02:00Odds that I'll google them and go buy myself a dre...Odds that I'll google them and go buy myself a dress now? =PKimberly Vanderhorsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653757517652257445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869329841369921947.post-79857393894653740592009-04-07T21:13:00.000+02:002009-04-07T21:13:00.000+02:00I swear, sometimes those waaay overpriced J Crew j...I swear, sometimes those waaay overpriced J Crew jeans are more appealing than the similar Old Navy variety simply because of the vanity sizing.

I have never heard of ARIA, however, so maybe you'll get lucky. I think you were smart to get a size "bigger" than you thought you were going to need, because it's always easier to take things in than let them out, but I am going to just keep my fingers crossed for you that it will fit you like a glove, and everything will be peachy. <BR/><BR/>It's not too late to make one from scratch, you know....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869329841369921947.post-86340862522996108162009-04-07T16:33:00.000+02:002009-04-07T16:33:00.000+02:00Exciting!
