Pregnant and a bridesmaid- dress alteration!

[emmyloo]

I'm due to be a bridesmaid when I'll fingers crossed be 13 weeks which I know isn't that far along but I'm a bit worried about the dress, it's the bhs Alicia one in champagne, I had to lose weight to fit into the size 12 my friend had got me (I'm usually a 10) and I suffer quite badly with bloating when pregnant which obviously makes me look bigger than I am, any way does anyone know how easy it would be to let it out?

I'd just go and buy a 14 but they don't sell them anymore! I've trawled eBay and there's a 14-16 which is actually a 16 but think this would be too big.

It's on 9th June so a while yet but I'm a stress head and starting to panic!

I should think it would be easier to buy the 14-16 and get it taken in, than get the 12 taken out.

Yes, just to agree with Damz, the 14/16 would give you peace of mind, taking something in is so much easier, I get it done all the time!

[emmyloo]

Do you think I should just buy it while it's on there then? I can always put it back on if I don't need it. I think I'm in denial about being 'bigger' but the way I'm eating at the mo a 16 will be perfect!!

Ah dammit it's gone!! It was there 5 mins ago :(

Keep trying eBay for the size 14-16 hopefully it comes up again. As the others have said its easier to take in than let out

How far down the back does the zip go? You could always get the zip removed and a lace up panel put in?

OMG!! Congratulations to you all :)
I've deleted my Facebook for a while but will be back on soon so will keep a lookout for any news :) x

Thanks AC! it's not on Facebook yet as I'm only 5 weeks, was going to send you a message actually I've been dying to tell people :)

Will look out for a 14-16 but that's a fab idea about the lace up back!! Thanks girls x
