Any size 12/14 brides care to share?

Following due to the same concern and situation, bridal appointment 4/1 and size 12/14!! True the size is just a number but have made significant progress in the past few years, was once a size 22/24. Never want to feel like I am back sliding.

I'm just going to make every effort to enjoy this experience with my family and if something doesn't fit quite right I'll probably make some smart ass remark and have an audience to laugh with me. You all look amazing and I know you will OP!!!

I'm a size 6 in pants and I ordered my dress in a 14. Don't stress. Have fun!

It honestly depends on the store. I'm regularly a size 16. One store I was a 24, the other store I went to was true to size. Don't worry girl, have fun shopping!:-)

I am normally a 16. I bought a 22 but should have purchased a 20. My torso and waist fit a 20 but my hip matched a 22. I got strong armed into buying the 22 even though my dress flares out at hip. It's not form-fitting anywhere passed my belly button basically. It's a poof skirt. It had to be majorly altered down to at least a 20, possibly 18 (did not lose weight from purchase date to now). Spent $700 on altering a $880 dress.

Bridal size run really small compare to street size (your usually jeans size). I'm a 16 and my dress was order a 20.

Anyone self conscious, DO NOT worry about the size of the dress you may have to order.

I wear size 10 jeans

Medium or large shirts/tanks, depending on fit and how I want it to sit.

Size 34B bra

My dress sized me a 10 for my waist, 12 for my chest, and 14 for my hips.

So I ordered a 14 and didn't feel bad about it one bit.

It's being altered throughout and my butt to give it more shape.

Here is the dress st my first alteration appointment in Jan. Next is in April.

The store sample I tried on was a 10 and it was comical how it barely fit me. I had to waddle out the fitting room because my legs couldn't move.

Mine size 14

Size 14. It's just a number

Size 14 and love my silhouette!

Size 12!

Jeans are a 12/14 depending on brand, ended up with a 14 Allure based on measurements:

I'm a street size 6 and my dress was a 10. Don't let it bother you.

I wear a 10/12 pants, usually get size 8 dresses. My gown is a 12 from davids bridal. They had a variety of sample sizes, depending on the dress, so just go with it and ask how the fit would change if it were in your size (just so you aren't surprised when you try on your actual dress). Go with what looks good on you! Pic is before alterarions

I love this post! I was feeling super self conscious about my dress size but then I see everyone looking so great!!!

I normally wear an 8 or 10. My dress is a size 14 and the sample I tried was a 16 and fit with a little room. Go based on how you feel, don't worry about sizes or measurements.

Usually I wear a 6/8..my dress was a 12!

I am an 8 for pants and the dress ordered was a 14 due to my chest.

Im a 12/14 in pants, (closer to a size 10 in the bust), and my dress is a 16

I wouldn't worry about the size. It'll be tailored to fit your body perfectly. I'm a street size 6 and ordered a bridal gown size 10. Just go and enjoy the day. At the end of the day, a size is just a number. What matters is if the dress makes you happy

Don't worry about the size number, it's just a number assigned to a particular design. I am a seamstress in my spare time. Clothing patterns never ever reflect the retail clothing sizes. It all goes off of body measurements.
