I have to order a bridesmaid dress now to wear August. 2nd. The problem is I have to estimate how many inches my stomach will grow in the next 14 weeks. I am currently 13 weeks pregnant. Any thoughts? I'd rather guess bigger than smaller but still have no clue.
Re: Help guessing size for a bridesmaid dress
I am ordering two sizes up but they have emailed me to ask how many inches around my stomach will be. When I asked for help estimating they basically said its up to you. At 13 weeks my stomach at my widest is 41" around belly button. But I need to guess what that measurement will be in 14 weeks.
Edited: for bad memory
I'm surprised that the dress shop was so unhelpful.
That dress is really pretty! It's a maternity dress, so it seems like you shouldn't really have to order a bigger size, should you? I know for maternity clothes I've bought in the past, I just get my own size, but since it's a maternity piece, it is designed to fit over the belly. But I guess if the dress shop needs measurements, it's different than just buying off the rack.
Good luck with whatever you decide!

I agree with PP, that is a beautiful maternity dress, I'd probably order a size or two up just to be safe, but I am no good help.
I have a wedding mid July, usually a size 6 in bridal dresses, they made me order a 12! At least your bride was willing to work with you on the dress! Mine is making me wear this SHORT teeny-bopper style halter dress. It's going to look HORRIBLE!! )

And how in the world do they expect you to estimate the actual inches of your belly? That's crazy!
