I bought a couple of Gina Bacconi dresses about 5 years ago and had to go up a size. However, there was no stretch in the fabric. Also it does sometimes depend on the style of the dress too. Good luck!
One advantage of buying from the website is that you always have the option to return a garment. I would check out their sizing guide and might be tempted to buy two “on spec” You could always get a dressmaker to make minor adjustments if, for instance, fitting your “top half” means a generous fit round the hips.
Hi, just wondering if anyone has any dresses from Gina Bacconi ? Next year I will be mother of the bride and have seen some likely candidates on the Little Black Dress website I'm an 18/20 top half and a 16 bottom half. Do I go up or down a size please?
