Can this bridesmaid dress be altered to fit me at 7 months?

Or should I out myself and ask for something else.

TIA

I would say no b/c of the fabric but it all depends on your tailor.  I would ask the people at the store.

Oh, I don't know.  You might have to give in and tell the bride.  You will not be able to have the dress let out (I don't think).  So, you would have to get a bigger size.  I wish you all the luck with this one.

She wants to order them online to save money so I'm not sure if I could just walk in somewhere and ask.

I'd take the picture in to a bridal shop so you can try on a similar dress and see how it fits around the belly.  From there you could order a larger size dress and have it tailored to fit.  I had to do this for a wedding I was in last year in the event that I got pregnant.  Is there a maternity equivalent to that dress?  I guess after all that the only option is to out yoruself!

I'm in the same situation- supposed to be a bridesmaid 9 days before my due date, but our dresses are flowy so I think I have some time before I out myself.

I don't think this classifies as flowy, so I'd check for a maternity version.

Because I the style of the dress with the rushing at the waist, I would be worried about altering it for a maternity style dress.  They may be able to make it more of an empire style -- but I don't think you will get the exact same look.  You'll probably also need to order extra fabric to do it, so you should find out if you can get fabric in the same dye lot before you order it.  You may want to discuss with the bride.

I'd be prepared to pay BIG bucks for alterations of that measure.... just saying. I lost ten lbs before my wedding and my alterations cost more than my dress did.
