Hope it works!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-bridesmaid-dress-order-extra-ebay-dress-for-material#post-1620720 Thu, 08 May 2014 07:36:13 +0000 HappyBaker 1620720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Called yesterday, they said it was too late so I would have to order (and pay for) a new dress if I needed a different size, plus rush shipping. OR I could buy one yard of extra fabric for $65 plus rush shipping. Craziness.</p> <p>BUT I found someone on eBay selling the same designer / color / fabric dress in a much larger size, for only $10! So I am buying that one and hoping I can either just have that one altered down, or my real dress let out a bit.</p> <p>Thanks for the suggestions! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-bridesmaid-dress-order-extra-ebay-dress-for-material#post-1618363 Wed, 07 May 2014 09:00:37 +0000 HappyBaker 1618363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: @Mamaof2: I'm going to call at lunch to see if it can still be changed, but they are supposed to come in by the end of May so I have a feeling it's too late. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-bridesmaid-dress-order-extra-ebay-dress-for-material#post-1618356 Wed, 07 May 2014 08:59:47 +0000 LuLu Mom 1618356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiger: Is the dress already in? Can you call the shop and see if it's possibly to switch the size. I've had to do this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-bridesmaid-dress-order-extra-ebay-dress-for-material#post-1618237 Wed, 07 May 2014 08:24:01 +0000 Mamaof2 1618237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiger: can you call and see if its too late to change your size?</p> <p>I think I would have ordered 2 sizes up - that dress looks fitted at the stomach - I think if the fitted part was by your chest (empire) you would be ok</p> <p>ETA: If you didn't pop until 24 weeks with #1 then you might be ok with this dress then - I popped a few weeks earlier with #2 but nothing major </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-bridesmaid-dress-order-extra-ebay-dress-for-material#post-1618222 Wed, 07 May 2014 08:16:26 +0000 HappyBaker 1618222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Thanks, good idea. No for my first pregnancy I really just had a basketball belly, nothing else changed. I didn't pop until like 24 weeks or so. Hoping this can work out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-bridesmaid-dress-order-extra-ebay-dress-for-material#post-1618216 Wed, 07 May 2014 08:15:06 +0000 HappyBaker 1618216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Beat you to it - just posted one :-) Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-bridesmaid-dress-order-extra-ebay-dress-for-material#post-1618215 Wed, 07 May 2014 08:15:06 +0000 Foodnerd81 1618215@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiger: haha you beat me to it! I wonder if a seamstress could just shorten the waist part, so the hips would be at your waist, if that makes sense? I think you could e ok if it's long enough.<br /> With your first pregnancy did your ribs and boobs get a lot bigger? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-bridesmaid-dress-order-extra-ebay-dress-for-material#post-1618207 Wed, 07 May 2014 08:13:02 +0000 Foodnerd81 1618207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiger: could you post apic of the dress? My sister was 6 months preg at my wedding and wore two sizes up in an empire waist dress. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-bridesmaid-dress-order-extra-ebay-dress-for-material#post-1618203 Wed, 07 May 2014 08:12:40 +0000 HappyBaker 1618203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2 - here's a pic...its a fitted at the top of the stomach but the rest is super flow-y. Good point about dye lots, maybe I'll just try to find a larger dress. </p> [attach=1530/14/n57gp4.459x600.154.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-bridesmaid-dress-order-extra-ebay-dress-for-material#post-1618197 Wed, 07 May 2014 08:09:00 +0000 Mamaof2 1618197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What does the dress look like? Is it forgiving in the stomach area or fitted?</p> <p>Also, dye lots could change the color of the fabric slightly so there is no guarantee the color would match exactly </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-bridesmaid-dress-order-extra-ebay-dress-for-material#post-1618192 Wed, 07 May 2014 08:06:54 +0000 HappyBaker 1618192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: ha no I am barely pregnant...only 5 weeks and hoping it sticks. I just know bridesmaid dress orders take forever so if I have to order legit extra fabric I need to do it ASAP. so annoying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-bridesmaid-dress-order-extra-ebay-dress-for-material#post-1618183 Wed, 07 May 2014 08:03:53 +0000 Mamaof2 1618183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>how far along are you right now? Have you popped yet? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-bridesmaid-dress-order-extra-ebay-dress-for-material#post-1618157 Wed, 07 May 2014 07:40:56 +0000 HappyBaker 1618157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will be in a wedding when I'm 17 weeks pregnant with #2. We ordered the dresses a few months ago, and I ordered one size bigger than I needed. Since it is #2 I'm now a little worried that my bump will be a lot bigger than it was last time around. </p> <p>Ordering extra fabric is super expensive (plush rush shipping since BM dress makers are SO SLOW). But I have found a few dresses the same color / material / designer on Ebay for super cheap. Do you think it would work to just buy an extra dress in a random size, and use that as fabric? Or is that crazy? I have no idea how alterations work / if that would even be helpful.</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
