Re: Bridesmaid dress wont fit, I bought it before I was preg
Have you considered purchasing a shawl that matches the dress and having a seamstress use the material to add panels to the side seams of the dress? One of my BMs found out she was PG 5 months before our wedding and she was pretty big the day of. She had her seamstress add in the panels and it looked great. Just a suggestion.

Re: Bridesmaid dress wont fit, I bought it before I was preg
This happened to one of my bridesmaids. She ended up ordering an extra panel and they altered it to fit her belly. It was expensive though...I think it was about $100 for the extra panel.

Re: Bridesmaid dress wont fit, I bought it before I was preg
Depending on how wide the bottom is, they could cut the dress right under the bodice and reattach the bottom of the skirt to the bodice. My MOH grew in her midsection and 2 days before the wedding she had this done to her dress.
All of my BM were OOT, so I just went to the designer's site and gave them salons that carried the dresses to get their alterations done.

A BM in my bridal party needed her gown adjusted because she had gained some weight before the wedding. She needed it larger by 2 sizes and they were able to accommodate!
Good luck!
Oh that is good to know!!!

Looking at the photo of the dress it should definitely be doable. The seamstress could simply open the 2 seams on the front sides and build in the extra material in the front panel.

Re: Bridesmaid dress wont fit, I bought it before I was preg
It is absolutely do-able. I am in a wedding in 2 weeks and needed work done on my dress. I got a shawl that matched the fabric (but if i couldn't get that the store was going to order me extra fabric)
The seamstress opened the side seems and put in panels.

Re: Bridesmaid dress wont fit, I bought it before I was preg
look in my LIW albums - my MOH was 6 months pregnant - ordered her dress before she found out she was pregnant as well - she ordered i think a size 2  well there was no way she was fitting in that and she couldn't re-order a bigger size b/c they discontinued the dress....the bridal salon ordered extra fabric and she had two large panels sewed in on the sides of the dress.....you couldn't even tell the dress was altered, let alone that she was 6 months pregnant! she looked great...

Don't stress! This isn't your fault!
ETA: Also, with 2 months to go the manufacturer might be able to accomodate you with a new bigger dress - def. call Bill Levkoff themself!
ITA with this. Call the Manuf. yourself. They could easily do a rush order for you. My only concern is if you order a shawl, it may not be from the same dye lot and the colors will be off. GL

Re: Bridesmaid dress wont fit, I bought it before I was preg
I was in a similar situation. I ordered extra material and it cost me an arm and a leg to have the dress altered (literall more than the dress itself) in the end I should have just ordered a new dress. I would call the salon and ask to order a new dress!

Re: Bridesmaid dress wont fit, I bought it before I was preg
One of my bridesmaids got pregnant after ordering her dress and she was 6 months pregnant at the wedding. The bridal shop added extra material to the dress and you could not tell it was any different. Look in my profile pics. Call the bridal shop, they should be able to alter it for you.

Re: Bridesmaid dress wont fit, I bought it before I was preg
I was in the same situation. I am not sure where you live but Rosie's in Centereach is AMAZING. She was able to add panels to the dress and nobody know that it was done. FM me if you want the #.
