4 day away! OMG

Gameplan

I'm 4 days away and I'm freaking out. My dress still will not zip all the way up! HELP SOMEONE. ANY SUGGESTIONS? I'm going to get some Shapewear/Spanx, I'm drinking water (84oz a day) and eating nothing but Veggies.Maybe it's just the stress.

Go get a massage to calm you down a bit.  I would recommend either Massage Heights for $40 for an hour or the school of beauty LaJames' has cheap and pretty good massages.  It always helps me melt away my stress.  Sometime not eating has the opposite effect, eat healthy meals and make sure you are getting your nutrients so you feel 100% the day of.  As for the dress, can you get an emergency alteration?  You may have to pay a lot for it being last minute but you want to be comfortable, they should have enough material to let it out some.  I would think Spanx would help too.

Where is it not zipping? In the chest area or in your mid section. I am sure someone could let it out, but it will be very pricy 4 days before. How long has it been since you tried it on or had it in for alterations? Was it a mistake on the part of the alterations place? They should fix it if they took it in too much or something. Drinking too much water will add water weight, I would try to find an alterations option.

Gameplan- I am 4 days out too!  Tonight, I had a small little panic thinking about all the things still to do, but I sat right down and made an itemized list of everything I still WANTED to do.  I then looked at the list and decided what I NEEDED to do.  Cleaning the windows in my house got nixed off the list, even though the rehearsal dinner is here.  Other than my mother, is anyone else going to notice my windows?  You have to do this at this stage in the game.  I think I can help with the alterations as well.  I took my dress to a wonderful lady that is cheap and fast!  She put in bra pads and bustled my dress and charged me $25.  She even put the pads between the layers of the fabric so they couldn't be seen when you look on the inside of the dress.  I dropped it off on a Thursday and picked it up on Tuesday, and I didn't even tell her I was in a hurry.  She does live out in Mingo (outside of Ankeny), but works downtown, so she may be willing to meet you after work.  Her name is Linda and her number is 577-3639.  I highly recommend her!!!

Wow congrats ladies....Gameplan...that sucks your dress isn't zipping...I agree with PP, is it your waist or your bust?  If it is your waist..definately work the spanx and work out every day, this will be great on your stress level too!!  Stay away from the carbs, stick to fresh fruit and veggies.  And don't drink too much water, you just get water weight.  Have you tried contacting your local health or fitness club for any additional insight?  Or a dietitian?  You do afterall want to be healthy, you don't want to pass out on your wedding day.  And a little prayer never hurt anyone!  Good luck!!
