HELP! Going to be a bridesmaid in December

Jul 12, 2009

I have a small problem, I'm losing a lot of weight and don't have any clue as to what size I will be in December.  I am going to be in a close friend's wedding as a bridesmaid and she now needs my measurements to have the dress ordered.  I have put her off for two months now but it's getting down to the deadline. 

Before surgery, I was 230 pounds and 5 feet 2 inches tall wearing a size 18 on top and 20 on bottom.  I'm now 185 pounds at 3 months post op and wearing a size 14 on top and 16 on bottom.  I tried on a dress by the same maker as the dress she has selected but cannot find the actual dress.  Here's the dress The dress I tried on was a size 16 and it was a little tight.  I'm thinking I should have her order a size 14 but the dress can only be sized down 2 sizes at the most.  By December I will be 8 months post op.  What do you think?  Thanks for any help.  Is there anyone else out there with the same size as me at surgery that I can compare to?

My measurements right now are 39 bust, 34.5 waist, and 46 in the hips.  I have lost over 7 inches in the hips since surgery, YEH!!!  With this dress, I think I need to focus on the bust and waist area since the skirt part over the hips will be more flowing and not tight against my body.
