you know what's funny ...she grabbed a pair of my new boy-short style panties (Girls size large) and wore them and they were only a little loose on her!

Ooooh, dress number one is my favorite!!  You know, shopping is always fun - even when you're not feeling well, so maybe it would just be best to wait. 

On the other hand, there are lots of good tailors out there, not just your mom-in-law, so if you find a dress now that you love then I'm sure you could find someone to help you get it to fit right.  Also, a good way to think of cup sizes is like an inch for every letter - so going to a C from an A is only a difference of about two inches.  However, since you will be swollen and wearing a binder, I would say to allow for about three more inches around your bust.

Those are all cute, but all "fitted" styles.  Possibly the top one would be forgiving if there's still swelling.  In fact, I like that one the most.

I vote for Dress #1!!  Very classy and sexy.  It flows so even if you're swollen, it is forgiving.

Let us know which you chose!

What a wonderful problem!  I agree you need to wait.  I have always been top heavy and the sisters do drive dress size.  Have fun trying on clothes after you heal a bit, then you'll know!

I would say that due to your cir****tances, skip the risk of ebay and plan on shopping the day or two before the wedding. That is the only way to really be sure.

Those dresses are so cute. I like #1, but #2 might work better if you have to wear a surgi bra.  Good luck, have fun shopping

OK, I've got no boobies....so I can't help you in that aspect (plus I'm pre op).  But  I absolutely love dress #1!!!!!  If the girls are swollen, this dress will emphasize the boobies........so girls, dress & you will look great!  BUT, someone mentioned a surgery bra.  I have no knowledge on PS, but if there is a special bra that has to be worn at that point.....then I do like #2.  It is beautiful, and it will cover up a bra!

Sorry, just had to post my vote for a dress!!  But over all, any of the dresses I'm sure would look great on you!

There are never any problems, only solutions.  quoted by a dear and special friend!!!
