 @kelz15912 @mrssteel2b Hi, is the best idea to buy bridesmaid dresses from a shop such as coast or debenhams and then get them altered near the time. Just I was expecting to have to get them from a bridal shop and have them fitted as I dont know what sizes my bridesmaids will be next year. e.g they may lose weight or gain weight? Any advice will be greatly appreciated xx

 @wifey_to_be I got my dresses two years before our orginal date (then we extended another two years). I ordered two sizes to begin with and got them to try them on and ordered the sizes they said they wanted. they know what size they need to be for that day so have left iyit up to them. Plus my bm was being discontinued so didnt want to keep looking for other. I got mine from Debenams and will be getting them altered nearer the time. xxxx

 @wifey_to_be I brought mine in advance too (In the sale, bargain!), and found a little old lady who did a brilliant job altering them nearer the time! xx

 @kelz15912 @mrssteel2b Thanks for the advice girls emoticon I really thought I was gunna hav to go to bridal shop n pay over the odds for them. I get worried one of my bridesmaids will get pregnant or something emoticon lol. I had my eye on a lovely dress in debenhams and i spotted it in the sale but only in huge sizes and then re stocked and was only other certain sizes it was down from £120 to £36 aswell :( gutted.. as it seems they have stopped selling it now. I shall keep my eye out for further bargains though.. thanks again emoticon xxx

 @kelz15912 yeah ano I was more than happy to pay the £120 each for them too as I really loved the dress.. im still hoping they may stock it again. Great advice hun thanks.. any hints on any other highstreet stores that may be good for bridesmaid dresses apart from bhs, debenhams and coast? xx
