💨 Abstract

The average UK wedding dress costs £1,500, but some brides are spending extra on replacement dresses due to rapid weight loss from medications like Ozempic and Mounjaro. Bridal store owner Shannon Martin notes that dramatic body changes during the alteration process (12 weeks before the wedding) can make dresses unwearable, leading to costly re-alterations or new purchases.
