Hello Lovely!!!
I hope you're having a great day. Please review the following information. If you have any questions don't hesitate to call.
Each bridesmaid should fill out the Bridesmaid's Order Form in full (we do not accept incomplete forms) online (instructions below). The Bridesmaid's Order Form serves as a contract between us and each individual bridesmaid. We cannot take orders over the phone. Please note that on the form we ask each bridesmaid to choose her own size based on comparing her measurements to the designer's size chart. Please feel free to call us with any questions regarding the size charts. We're happy to advise, but the final decision is always made by the bridesmaid. We will call each bridesmaid to get her payment after she submits her order unless she pays online.
Please note that any bridesmaids that are local and able to make an appointment with us for a fitting can call and we will help them here in the store. We are available by appointment only Tuesday – Friday from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm and Saturday 9:00 am to 5:00 pm . If the bridesmaid is not local and is not able to visit Rina’s Bridal Boutique, she simply needs to have her measurements taken by her local tailor/dry cleaner (or take them herself), compare her measurements to the size chart, and fill out her form online.

A love note to the pregnant bridesmaid:
First of all congratulations! This is such an exciting time. Due to the unpredictability of how each individual body changes during pregnancy, we at Rina’s Bridal are not able to guarantee a certain size dress will fit perfectly at the time of the wedding. We are happy to make recommendations and generally suggest that pregnant bridesmaids order AT LEAST three sizes up from their current size. However, as always, your size choice is completely up to you! Ordering additional fabric at the time you place your order is also always an option. It may be best to discuss these options with your tailor before ordering your dress as well!
Some girls may only be 2-3 sizes larger than their normal size by the end of their pregnancy. However, we have had ladies who ordered four sizes larger than their normal size and the dress still needed to be let out or have a panel added. Keep in mind that these are usually not girls who have gained a lot of pregnancy weight. It is usually the smaller bridesmaids who have not put on much weight who end up needing a much larger size than they would have predicted due to changes in your bust and rib cage during pregnancy. It is just not possible to predict exactly what size you will be during pregnancy.
Do keep in mind that it is always possible to have a dress that is WAY too big taken in by a seamstress. And it is always possible to add a panel into a dress that is too small. This may be required for a pregnant bridesmaid even if she has ordered 4 or more sizes larger. It is always possible to get extra fabric in emergency situations. Try to keep an open mind and be flexible -there is always a solution to problems that may arise. We hope this information helps you when deciding what size dress to order. We are here to help so please give us a call to discuss your options!
