    So the dress I ended up buying is nothing like the Pronovias I showed you guys before!  But I love it, and the 2nd time I went back to try it on again I didn't want to take it off!  It's a Priscilla of Boston 4216.  Now I have a little bit of a concern since I read someone else's post about their salon ordering a couple sizes too big for them.  When I tried on their sample size 8, I barely got zipped into it, and they also told me that the dress has been stretched out a lot, and I believe them since you can tell in the zipper area.  So I'm ordering a size 10, which I hope will get taken in some when I lose some weight.  Do you guys think it will cost a lot to get it taken in?  Should I have gotten the size 8 in the first place?

    I think you were right to get a size 10. It's easier to get things taken in than let out.

    I'm not sure how PoB's alterations run price-wise, but that dress looks like it wouldn't be too difficult to alter.

    Beautiful dress, and congrats! I almost bought an Amsale crumbcatcher.

    Agree with fifty, I think the 10 is a good idea.  It's easier to take things in than out.

    very pretty! I agree with a 10. I didn't go up a size and it was a tight, rather uncomfortable fit lol. I am also IN LOVE with crumbcatchers. I don't know why. My mom hates them, but I wish I could have gotten one lol

    What did the sizing chart tell you?  They ordered me a 10 instead of an 8, despite the fact that on the sizing chart I was definitely an 8.  I ignored that fact and trusted their judgment in error.  If you measured a 10, I'd rest assured that you made the right choice!

    I think the dress is great and agree with other posts that it would be much easier for them to take it in a bit rather than let it.

    That dress is BEAUTIFUL! I am seriously in love with it. I love the pleaty... stand-upy... thing in the back. Goodness I'm eloquent!

    Beautiful dress! Because the dress doesn't have any beadwork and the hemline is simple, I wouldn't think alterations will be too bad.

    Very Pretty! Don't stress about dress sizes. I have always had to buy dresses in a larger size than I am used to. You look lovely!

    Beautiful, beautiful dress! I LOVE it!!! And definitely good idea to get a bigger size. Much easier to take in than out.

    Your dress is gorgeous....like it took my breathe away when I looked at it!!! I have total dress envy (even though I love my gown)! You made a great decision to go with the size 10 and I'm sure it won't cost a ton to get it taken in a little. Congrats on such a beautiful gown :)
