I'm scared to try on dresses. I've gained 25lbs since last year. I know I can lose it, but I feel like I need to start dress shopping in April. I'm normally a size 8 right now I'm rocking a snug 10 ... i feel like I'll hate everything I try on should i just wait til I drop 10 to 15 lbs?

Re: 25lbs heavier
I think you definitely have some time, but I think you're only a size+ bigger, so you can still get an idea. I plan to lose weight before the wedding, but I was still able to find dresses that were really flattering on my shape.

I gained about that much in the past yr cause I had surgery that put exercise and all physical activity on hold (ok, so I didn't object that much to being inactive, lol)
I am going to try my best to lose it before trying on dresses.. I really don't feel like I'm in the right mindset to enjoy dress shopping until I take off the extra weight.. Hoping by the summer!
we are getting married about a month apart... i feel like i'll hate everything, or stress that it wont look right once i lose weight...... THEN AGAIN maybe a horrific shopping trip is what I need to motivate me to get myself to the gym I hope your doing better- hope the surgery was a success :)

Oh it was no big deal just a recurring injury but everything went great thanks.. I've thought of scaring myself into losing the weight by trying on dresses.. Plus I really want to start looking!
My worst fear is ordering the dress way too big or too small cause I don't know the size I'll end up.. for my prom I remembering ordering a size 16 dress in January, losing 50 pounds and then they had to cut it apart and put it back together to like a size 6 LOL
Either way, good luck.. We still have time

Re: 25lbs heavier
I had gained some weight over the last year as well and I was going to wait until January to start NutriSystem before going dress shopping in the beginning of Feb. I decided in Dec to start instead cause I was so uncomfortable. I lost the weight I wanted to before going shopping. I did this because I know myself. I didn't want my wedding dress shopping experience to be like I was shopping for just anything. I didn't want moment after moment of 'I look so fat!' in my head. This is how I am though. That's why I did the diet before looking. I still ordered the dress a little bigger than I needed. I want the seamstress to alter the dress to fit MY body, rather than trying to make my body fit the dress. KWIM.

Re: 25lbs heavier
ME TOO!! lol
I've lost 130lbs at one point (6 yrs ago) and just recently (2yrs ago) lost 50lbs and gained half back this year. (the 25 )
If I go on a 'wedding diet' I may get so crazed an end up a size 6 ... I can't imagine having to spend more money to alter my size 12 gown to 8 ... or being so flat chested, that it droops .... I really am too old to be stuffing my bra LOL
I've been a 40 DD and I've been a 34B ... right now a 36C
GOOD LUCK TO YOU AS WELL..... **sigh** it will work out :)

Re: 25lbs heavier
I don't want to try on dresses either! I've gained some weight and I hate going shopping for ANY clothes when i weigh this much. I'm hoping to lose a few before I start looking again. The good thing is there is plenty of time! You can order a dress 6 months before! People actually do get married with short engagements!
