vent- hate my dress that doesnt fit

ksokoloski

so i had my final fitting tonight for my 10/10 wedding and it was a disaster. the dress barely zips and i hate the way it looks on me. I keep seeing this line across the widest part of my body and its made even worse by the fact the dress is still to small. It cant be taken out so i basically need to watch everything i eat and exercise a lot for the next 2 1/2 weeks. it wouldn't be so bad it i really liked my dress but im having such a hard time trying to remember why i bought it in the first place..

How much weight do you think you would have to lose for it to fit better?  a few pounds?  it can be done in 2 1/2 weeks with dedication.  I did the 30 day shred by Jillian and lost 13 pounds in a little under a month with calorie counting too.  Its a 20 minute DVD every day.  Dont crash diet where you eat bascially nothing because your body will hold onto you body fat and calories.  I just cut 500 calories from my diet and it worked like a charm....3 months later and I havent put back on the weight so I must have lost it the right way.

The dress zips but it sits too high and is really tight. I'm shooting for somewhere between 5-10 lbs so it'll sit alittle lower. I started doing the shred and really watching what i eat. I'm definately not crash dieting.. i get too cranky when i dont eat. I'm gonna see if i can get something super sliming to try under the dress to see if it'll help it sit better. at this point there is no getting another dress, i just need to make this one work.

My wedding is 10/2 and I think you and I might have the same dress.... I cried after my final fitting. I didn't buy my dress too small - it fit perfect when I bought it. But after the alterations and the long line bra I have to wear, I swear that my boobs hit my chin when (and if!) I can sit down! I know I loved my dress when I bought it - can you have the seamstress maybe sew a corset (lace up) back into the dress to give you some more room? That was an option I was given, but it just didn't look right with mine. GL with your diet, but there must be something they can do!

Try Spanx! They work miracles, at least they did for me. I gained about 20 pounds from stress before the wedding and in my pictures (I think I only have one posted), you can't even tell in my waist that I had gained any weight at all!
