    I was wondering if you ladies knew the answer to a wedding dress tailoring question. I am looking for a very specific dress -- Grace by Monique Lhuillier -- and I was wondering how many sizes up I can go from my regular dress size and still be able to get it tailored to fit (and so that it looks the way it's supposed to).

     

    I am normally a dress size 2/4, but I've only seen the dress available in larger sizes.

     

    Thanks!

    Most ladies usually have to order their dresses bigger to start. My seamstress told me that she could alter the dress 2 sizes down from the one that fit me with no issues.  So I would see what size you are in that designer and then stay within the 2 sizes.
