Dress too tight

Merline, on February 16, 2020 at 11:39 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 30
Honest options please because I feel like my sister is just telling me what she thinks I want to hear. I am about 12 days out and my dress is too tight. I can walk fine, but I feel like I'm suffocating when I sit down. During my initial alterations appointment I did try sitting down and everything was fine. At this point, anything that David's Bridal has to do is considered 'RUSH' alterations and has a fee attached. Does anyone know a secret to drop 5 pounds in a week?! Does the dress look bad in the pictures? ThanksDress too tight 1

    I don't have a tip but I just wanted to say the dress looks gorgeous, it doesn't look too tight to me!

    Do you have the right undergarments on? It looks a little snug on bottom front and it’s not fitted correctly on back top. But your butt looks amaaaazing!

    That's what I was thinking about back like it needs to be let out a bit and the front is snug as well causing that bunch. I was told I didnt need special shapewear or undergarments so no. But I do plan on wearing a shaper, but it still bunches in the front while I walk. And thank you lol!!

    Shaper shorts just to control my tummy and smooth everything out. It was hard finding something strapless and low back.

    I don’t think it’s altered right in the back or it may need to be pulled up a bit in back?

    I bought something called honeylove that sucked my waist in and still let me breath. (I hate spanx). I bought nude but they have other colors.

    Maybe they can let the sides out a bit?

    It was hard finding something since the back of the dress is sheer.

    Your dress is beautiful! Maybe you can do a juice cleanse. Cut soda if you drink it and up your water intake. Best if luck and congratulations

    You look beautiful! We’re dress twins!


    Did they take it in at all during alterations? If so you could argue that the alteration was too tight and avoid the rush fee. You could try at least. You’ve gotta be comfortable.

    You are just blessed with a butt as was I and mermaid and sheath dresses will accentuate that. If you want to lose weight maybe do a cleanse or a no sugar detox and wear shapewear. Drink tons of water.

    They did not take it in at all. I started a new stressful job 6 weeks ago and just didn't have time to workout or anything. I gained like 14 pounds in those weeks. Smiley sad

    Thank you! My FH saw just how sad I've been about it and has offered to pay whatever it will cost to get me comfortable.

    I have the same dress, and I wasn't 100% content with DB alterations. They cut the torsolette down so it doesn't show under my dress, which is an odd fit and not as supportive. I went back and discussed with them, and they said that they'll put in cups for me. Honestly, it does look like you need to have it taken out a little. Have them do the rush alterations so you can be comfy on the day! It should be tight, but that looks like you're just going to be miserable on the day.

    It looks great on you! And i agree with Leslie - your butt looks amazing! lol I would also agree that in the back at the top it seems a little baggy but the dress does look good on you!

    Thank you! Yes I rather be comfortable than miserable for 8 hours. I want to be able to sit and eat and talk at the same time lol. I think I'm going to let it out a bit at the hip and maybe at the back as well. I think my back fat it causing the roll on the back of the dress lol. Thank you for your honest opinion.

    Thank you. I cannot tell if that back part needs to be taken in or if it's my back fat causing the bagginess lol. Either way, I'm going in tomorrow.
