Umm potty question?

sassy8179 · December 2010

So my dress is a mermaid/fit and flare style. It hugs me down to my thighs (almost knees) and then flares out. The back is not corset style, it's a zip with crystals going all the way up and a loop that loops over them (to cover the zip).

My question is, how does one pee in a dress like this? It won't be easy to take off because of the back/crystals/looping, and I think it's going to be hella hard to lift up.

I did sort of think about this when i was buying the dress, but I was so in love with it, I though "I'll figure it out after".

For those of you who have worn this style dress before, what did you do? And for those who are going to - what are your plans?

OMG-- I'm so glad someone asked this questions, I can't wait till someone helps us out!

I think you will just have to loosen the back and lift it up. You might have a bridesmaid, friend, mom, etc who might be willing to help you in the event that you have to pee.

PS: I would actually avoid excess water once you put your dress on.

I have exactly the same question!!! But my dress has a corset back and I don't want someone to have to keep tying it up!

Someone actually wrote an article about this! I laughed when I saw it but I think I will end up printing this out

Omigosh, that's hilARious!!!

I never even thought about stooping backwards (frontwards?) on the toilet! I think i may have to test it out at home because I'm not sure I can straddle that wide and lean forward, hmmm... LMAO...

And DEF minimal water and champagne... until half way through the night when i change into a dress that's easier to get in and out of!

Thanks for the insight and glad I'm not the only one worried about this!!

I was just going to post that site. Yup, it made me laugh, too. But hey, if it works, that is all that matters, right?

Surprisingly, I didn't go pee at all when I was wearing my dress. Lets just say I had to go really really bad when my Mom helped me take it off at the end of the night.

Slight threadjack:
MissySue, I had a look at your bio - i LOVE your bouquet colours! My colours are teal, purple and magenta, so I am instantly drawn to the teal/turquoise and purple! Soooo pretty!

Gorgeous pics!

I didn't use the restroom the entire day/night either. I honestly didn't even think about it until it was all over, that's when I realized I needed to pee. I guess I was just too busy to think about it.

I didn't need to use the facilities until after the reception was over. Other than that bit of information, can I please beg you to not create the "honorary" position of "bride's pee attendant" whose sole job is to help you here.

That article is hilarious, glad that someone posted this!

I hope I'm going to not have to go at least till near the end - when i get nervous I either pee alot or not at all, let's hope it's the latter. (sorry if that was TMI)

When I try on my dress next time, which will probably be in January, i wll test out lifting it up - it's the snugness around my hips that has me worried a bit.

I practiced sitting when I tried the dress on in the store, but I did not try lifting it up to my waist, sigh.

tldh - when I was MOH for my friend a few year's back I had to hold her dress while she peed (she had a ball gown style). Thankfully she only had to go once :S I will try and spare my MOH of that "honourable" duty, lol!

My maid of honor has been there for both of my childrens births, and helped me pee after multiple surgeries, so I guess if I have to pee I wouldn't mind but I'd still rather not... LOL. I think I will just take mine off. Toilets gross me out! I dont want my dress all over a bathroom or <gasp> A TOILET! eeeeewwwww...LOL. I will probably have to go to the restroom on the first twinge of having to pee so I can get out of the dress in time.
