Call ahead

Ignoring the numbers
This is a fact that the pricier brands often use the “couture” sizing. So, this is obvious that your bridal size would be significantly higher as compared to what you usually dress. Thus, the best bet is just to ignore the numbers and focus completely on the overall fit and look of the plus-size gown after having a proper trial.
Leaving your comfort zone
You must be having a perception that a particular style of gown looks the best on you but in case your stylist recommends some other style that would look gorgeous on you, then you should certainly give it a go rather than ignoring the same. You should always remember that she is an expert and you should always listen to her advice.
