That way you would have a better idea of what your body would like like in June. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dress-shopping-what-would-you-do#post-559746 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 09:30:05 +0000 Smurfette 559746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would buy the bigger and fingers crossed you just have to pay to get it taken in. June is awhile away but that still is a lot of pressure to lose the weight by then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dress-shopping-what-would-you-do#post-559710 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 09:06:05 +0000 sorrycharlie 559710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was going to write exact same as @Ash. You can always have it taken in, but don't put the pressure on yourself to have to lose for a dress :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dress-shopping-what-would-you-do#post-559708 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 09:04:59 +0000 Ash 559708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd probably buy the bigger size just to be safe... and then it can be taken in if you do go down a size. Even though a smaller size could motivate you to lose the pounds, if it doesn't happen, you're out a dress. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dress-shopping-what-would-you-do#post-559701 Mon, 11 Feb 2013 09:02:01 +0000 LittleFox 559701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm trying to buy a dress online to wear to a wedding in June. I'm between two sizes based on some of my measurements, but closer to the bigger size. I'm currently 7 weeks postpartum. I'd like to lose the weight to be at the smaller size by the wedding, but I've never really had to work on weight loss before and I'm afraid it won't happen. The dress is on a deals site right now and is non-returnable, so buying both and returning one isn't an option. </p> <p>Would you buy the bigger dress that you fit in at 7 weeks postpartum, in case you don't lose the weight? Or would you buy the dress in the next size down and be certain to lose it in the next 3 months? </p>
