The saleswoman who helped us said that all of their dresses run two sizes smaller than your typical jeans size. So, if you wear a size 10 jeans, then you'd wear a 14 dress. WTF kind of logic is that?! It's the opposite of vanity sizing. My jean size is between a 4 and 6 right now, so she told me to get an 8 and 10 to try on. Ugh. I grabbed a 6 too, just for my high hopes ;)
I planned on trying them on from smallest to biggest--hoping that I wouldn't have to get a 10. The first dress I tried on fit like a glove, and I was psyched--until I realized it was the 8 instead of the 6 like I thought, lol. But if their dresses really do run two sizes small, then I'm right on target, so that's fine. If I can somehow manage to lose about 10 pounds before I actually order the dress, I'll probably be able to get the 6 instead. Not that it even matters, as long as it fits me on October 15th!
I'm nervous about the whole thing--because what if I GAIN weight and the dress doesn't fit? The 8 won't fit me if I gain even 5 pounds. I wish I could put off ordering the damn thing until the last minute, but she said we have to order 12 weeks before the wedding!
Anyway, here is a pic of the dress--I didn't get a picture of me wearing it, but here is the photo from the website:

Today is Day 3 of my Summer Challenge. I had planned on doing Jillian's Ripped in 30 yesterday, but I was still SOOOO SORE from doing it three days ago. Then this morning, I was going to do it--but I'm STILL sore. For sure tomorrow!
Or maybe not, as I'll probably be hung over (bachelorette party tonight!!) Thursday I decided to go easy and walk 3 miles on the dreadmill. I did do some incline on it, so it wasn't TOO easy. Speed was 3.0-4.8, Incline was 0%-5%. I walked for an hour, doing 3.6 miles. For some reason, the last part of the walk didn't show up on my total--I got fed up with messing with it, so I gave up trying to get the numbers right.
This morning, I knew I was going to be consuming lots of calories today, so I did some extra exercise. I ran 3.1 miles outside and then did an hour on the dreadmill (walking inclines).

I love the dress! Have a fun night!
ReplyDeleteI'm the maid of honour in my bf's wedding on October 15 this year and we got our dresses at David's. I wish I had have known that about their sizing because I felt like crying. One of the other bridesmaids actually did. After I read this, I just had to text her to make her feel better :)...busymommy (ps. I hated that we had to order them already because I, too, don't know what size I'll be in Oct. Hopefully not bigger and then we can alter)
