October 2012 Weddings

Got to try on my dress yesterday :) Gotta brag a bit!

My dress came in almost two months ago but I just got the chance to go yesterday to see it and try it on.  It was so pretty and just as I remembered it except..... it was too big!!

I didn't think that I had lost that much weight because the number on the scale isn't really moving.  But I guess I'm gaining muscle, which I've noticed, and the fat is coming off.  It felt like it was going to completely fall off of me.  Even my consultant that I worked with when I bought my dress came by to see how it was all going and she was like "Oh my gosh, you've lost some weight!"  That made me feel really good :)

Also, I don't remember the back being as low cut as it is.  I'm have a pretty large chest and I am worried that I won't be able to find a low back bra in my size; it's hard to find regular bra's in my size.  They said to just talk to alterations before I buy anything because a lot of times, she can make it fit so well that I won't even need a bra.  We'll see...

I'm just so glad that it's too big and not too small!! haha!

  • I am so jealous! I have been waiting for 4 months so I decided to call yesterday and check up with them and it won't be in until July! But yay for you about losing weight!! :
  • Congrats! That's awesome.

    My dress is in but I haven't tried it once since I bought it back in Feb!  I guess it's time for me to really step it up and be consistent about working out! Hopefully it still fits!

  • Thanks ladies.  I've been working out and eating pretty good, so it's nice to see the hard work paying off.  I still have a bit more to loose, so definitely waiting on alterations for now.

    I wanted to get up there sooner, but I've been too busy every weekend to go.  The dress shop is about 30 minutes away, so it's kind of a pain to get there.

    I was surprised that it came in so quickly.  I ordered it mid March and it was in at the end of March.  It was a dress in hanging stock, so just had to wait for shipping time.

  • Congratulations on both...yes as soon as mine came I had to dive in...im SOOOO ready to wear mine...it has been at the store for almost a year now...there was 9 month lead time on mine, so I ordered it in Feb and it was not in till the end of July last year, and the last time I had it on was Oct, I did have to go and get fitting for an additional skirt that im getting to give my dress some more "poof" so I got to put it on this past friday.  My dress is actually being stored in Fire proof vault at the bridal salon...which is super nice, and as much as would love to have it at home so i could try it on when i have the urge, my dress is so darn heavy I cant do it alone!!  :)

    Oh and when I was trying on my gown, the consultant told me not lose any more weight, as the dress fits me almost like glove, and in is pulled as tight as it can go...where you cant see the criss crossing, which she says, that makes the dress too big, who knew??  :)

    Best Wishes, Melissa Wedding Countdown Ticker
  • Congrats on both parts! I'm jealous. Mine has been in going on 3 weeks and I haven't been able to go. BUT I get to go this Saturday to try it on and hopefully bring it home. Mom's going with me. The reason I haven't gone is because its located close to an hour and a half away!!!

  • Wow! That's awesome! You rock, girl. That's my goal, but I doubt it'll happen haha. I'm so good at procrastinating.......
    Haha, my dress doesn't come in until July as well, so I'm just hoping it fits too. My bridal salon actually gave me the option of having cups installed in the dress (which I totally did...push up ones too *wink*)
    But that is AWESOME and you totally have the right to brag. Isn't that called Swag or something? I can never keep up...!
