Back fat help needed, please!

Hi guys!

When I first found my wedding dress, I had just had the stomach flu for a week and had lost 5-10 pounds. I wanted to wait to look for it, but time was just getting too short. I warned them when I tried it on I had lost weight, but they said it would be fine. They wound up ordering my dress a size smaller than what they had in the store because they said the one I was wearing was too big in the stomach area, and they'd put in an expander in the corset top.

Fast forward to now. At my last fitting, I tried the dress on (back at my normal weight). It was tight, but not too tight. Then, though, the alterations manager (who is a friend of mine) told me how to make back fat go away (pushing the skin forward from the back towards the chest). I was shocked when I saw it appeared I had a muffin top. It wasn't like this when I first got the dress (see the picture), and I've never had this problem before.

My wedding is in 30 days, and I don't have access to a gym. I've been doing some simple cardio and watching what I eat. Do you have any suggestions as to how to take care of this problem? Thanks!

I've been doing a resistance band workout to tone my shoulders and upper arms, but I doubt you'd be able to notice a difference in 30 days. Maybe it's worth a shot, though?

Can the corset be loosened just enough to make the muffin top look go away? Or will it fall off you at that point?

Thanks, guys. That picture was from the first time I got my dress. I had my second fitting Friday, and here are some pictures. What are your thoughts? I actually think it may be my bra that's causing it, so when I get the dress back, I'm going to try it with either cups or no bra at all to see if that makes a difference.

i just had something similar happen to me, though I think you look great! My dress needed just a little tweaking. I went to try it on again today after the alterations were made... back fat now spilling over big time! I dont even know where it all came from... never had that before!! They took it in too much. So now I need to go back and figure out how this can be fixed. Until then, i have that horrible image seared into my brain and a pit in my stomach. My wedding is 30 days away, too!
