Determine bridesmaid dresses step II

Having determined the style, measurements of the custom bridesmaid dresses should be started. It’s a lucky and rare bride who has all her attendants in the same town where she lives. Sometimes they are far away from you and how to measure them?

If possible, your maids should have themselves measured by a professional seamstress or good natured tailor at a favorite department store. As silly as it sounds, you actually need a pro’s expertise to measure the right spots. Warn your maids that,like gown sizes, discount bridesmaid dress sizes run a little small — and no one should stress out if she ends up having to order a size or two larger than she’s used to. Don’t be swayed by the gal who swears, “I’m going to lose 15 pounds by then so order me a size smaller.” Just say no. Tell her it’s much easier to take in than let out, and that she looks fabulous just as she is.

Do remember the size must be taken exactly, you do have enough time to alter all the inexpensive bridesmaid dresses as you have several maids of honor, so that will be very important.
