You should know that wedding dress sizes are not like your normal dress size. You may be a size 8 normally but for your wedding dress you might need a 10 or even a 12. It's important to always go for a size up then what you think because a gown can always be taken in. This is especially true if you are thinking of loosing weight. 


5. Budget For Alterations

Like mentioned above you are going to need to do alteration to your wedding dress. This ensures that it fits you perfectly. For this reason you should include that in your wedding dress budget because they go hand in hand. It maybe from 10 to 20 percent added. You can always ask before hand how much it may cost.
