when to start looking at BM dresses? anyone coming across any problems?

So I am excited to start looking for Bm dresses with my girls, but my original plan was to wait until March or April when the wedding was about 6-7 months away. My main reason was to make sure nothing happened as far as weight loss/gain before the wedding that would cause problems for my girls with their dresses. A few of my BMs mentioned wanting to lose some weight before the wedding, so I figured waiting awhile would give them some time. However, a few surprises have arisen! My future SIL just found out that she is pregnant and due in July (3 months before the wedding). So naturally I am ecstatic for her and her husband! But I eventually realized that this might make BM dress shopping a little tricky! No matter when we get the dresses, we won't be able to guarantee that the dress will fit her the way she wants it to until after she gives birth and sees how her body becomes afterward. She is naturally a petite woman so I don't expect her to gain weight all over, probably just in her belly area [lucky!!] haha

ALSO, my older sister is trying to get pregnant and I'm very happy for her because this is something that she has wanted for a very long time! she wasn't ever sure she was going to be able to have children due to health issues but is now getting help from a specialist and told me that she hopes I won't be upset if she is "very pregnant" for my wedding. of course not, i'll be soo excited! so, if she has the luck we're all hoping for [and gets pregnant within the next few months or so] she could be "very pregnant" for the wedding! haha...so yet again comes the problem with getting the BM dresses. so i could potentially have two BMs at different stages of pregnancy while trying to find dresses...help!! what would anyone suggest? anyone running into anything like this? I'm not exactly sure when is too early or too late to BM dress shop and now I think this is something I'll really have to start thinking about! I don't know exactly how long it usually takes to get dresses fitted and when would be too late to take care of fittings for my BMs changing bodies!

i hope i don't come off as selfish because I am super excited for both my FSIL and my sister!! i just worry too much sometimes about little details!
