it looks beautiful on you, and we got our dresses @ the same place. i have the same issue with it being a lil tight, but i dont want to take it out, i'd rather lose 5lbs or so....is that an option for you?

---

thank you. I'm not sure if losing weight will do anything because it was pushing on my top ribs, not the fat.

I'm sorry jess! honestly..you look great!!!! that dress looks perfect on you! you will be a stunning bride!

the middle is what holds it up, but if you're worried about it i saw a post a while back about the seamstress adding hooks (like the little metal hook and eyes) to the top inside of the dress that hook onto your bra (if you have one). it might be something to ask about.

Thanks, I never heard of that, I'll ask her about it. I was going to go commando but if I need a bra to keep my girls in that night, I'll do it!

It's making me angry that your seamstress is bullying you. DO NOT let her do that, if it's too tight then it's too tight, that's it!! She needs to take it out and you need to be comfortable on your day. There is no way it's going to fall down if she fits it properly...and that doesn't mean her being too lazy to loosen it up and adjust the top! My seamstress did that to me with certain parts of my dress even convincing me to let her sew my bra into my dress and I was really REALLY uncomfortable for most of my day. Seriously, go bridezilla on her @ss if you have to!

On the lighter side, you do look AMAZING!! Can't wait to see the wedding pics!

Gorgeous.

the dress looks great on you!

Jess.....it's f-in GORGEOUS!!! It makes you look like you're two pounds!!! Is it reaaaaaaally tight, or just uncomfortable?

---

it's really tight! Like when it's on I can't wait to take it off so I can breathe again! I'm not sure if everyone feels this way or if I'm just a wuss!

eta: and thanks for the compliment

Thank you for that! I was surprised she wouldn't just do what I asked her to because now she has me paying the maximum for alterations. I thought that's what she would want in the first place.

your dress fits you beautifully!!! mine was also really tight, but i made it through the day just fine, and was still able to eat quite a bit!!!

beautiful gown, you will be a beautiful bride!!
