I went to my dress fitting yesterday and while I may have procrastinated a little to have it done now nearly 5 weeks out before the wedding, I feel as though it was worth it because..... they have to take in the dress 2 inches!!!!!!! When I saw the tailor cinch in where it will be taken in (and adding in bra cups since "the girls" are considerably smaller... I've sadly lost 3 inches from the bust area in the last six months) I could see a noticable difference in the silhouette. My back is also looking more toned and my mom and sisters said they could see a real difference (thanks to my sister taking "before" photos of me in my dress back in August)
Probably even the most important - aside from the wonderful news they have to take in the dress - is that I felt even more beautiful in the dress than when I had first tried it on the day I found it. And while the alterations are going to cost a bunch, I now feel like, while I still have a ways to go before I reach my ultimate weight goal, I can definitely celebrate this small accomplishment. The best part was that the tailor said I could still lose up to 5 pounds prior to the wedding and the fit of the gown won't suffer. With 5 weeks to go, that's a pound a week - very doable. Now on the next goal of being sub -190 for the wedding!
