I've always been told 10 pounds per size. I've found it to be true throughout my years of bouncing back and forth between sizes :)

That can't be right... because when it's been 15 pounds for me to go from size 8/6 to a size 10/12. It must depend more on the person and their body structure.

They told me that one has to lose 15-20 lbs to change a dress size. buy one now, and take it in- or buy a forgiving style like empire waist or A-line.
i have been putting dress shopping off, but i am going during my spring break (wedding is in october.)

Tailors and seamstresses work wonders. Buy your dress now and have it taken in! I do it all the time because sometimes the size I wear in street clothes fits, but is too tight for comfort in dresses. I get the size up and take it to a tailor. Works like a charm! It also works if you find a dress on a really good sale but they only have the size above you left.

Good luck!

I agree, get it now and get it taken in if need be. You're cutting it close as it is, if it needs to be ordered. Good luck losing those last few pounds before the big day!!

I would get one now because you can always have it taken in. I got my dress for my best friend's wedding, which is April 26, back in January. I had it hemmed because it was too long. I go on March 28 to see how it looks. If it's too big, I might have to get it taken in too. But, I definitely think get it now!
