I was putting off getting my dress as well, but I found such a bargain in my size that I bought it off the rack. I'm trying to lose 20-30lbs before my fitting in March (April 21st wedding).
I did NOT want to buy my dress until I had lost some weight, but when the lady told me that she could take it in up to 3 sizes, I figured I wouldn't be able to drop more than 3 sizes with such little time left anyway.
I would encourage you to order your dress ASAP. If you get it in your size or one size smaller, you don't have to worry about losing a TON of weight before your first fitting. But it still gives you the option of losing some of it because they can take it in 2-3 sizes. :)

I have got to hit it hard. I haven't even ordered my dress yet because I am over weight. I am so drepressed.
