Bridesmaid dress...

Help! I have to order a bridesmaid dress from davids bridal like, now, for a November wedding. If I order today, the dress arrives 2 weeks before the wedding.  LO will be 5.5 mo old at that time and hopefully still breast feeding.

My issue is this - based on my measurements, my bust is a size 12, waist is a size 6 and hips are a size 8.  Normally I wear an 8-10 at Davids depending on the dress, probably a 10 in this type/style.  My nearest davids is 6 hrs away so trying them on isnt an option.

What size should I order? Ie - will my boobs shrink at all by the 5.5 mo mark?

    I am guessing buying big and having it taken in would be easier than having it be too small. I only remember my breasts being super engorged a couple days after delivery and then way smaller once breastfeeding ended. I feel like they were the same for months in between.

    My LO is about 5.5 months now and my breasts haven't shrunk at all yet.  I'd go with the bigger size.

    I was bridesmaid when LO was 3 months old. I got the dress ordered to fit my chest then had it taken in everywhere else. Feeding in it was challenging though! I spoke to the venue and they sorted me a quiet room where I could strip down to feed!
