Cannot BREATHE...

in my dress!! I cannot expand my rib cage as far as I need to breathe normally! If I lose 5 pounds will it help?

Re: Cannot BREATHE...

yeah breathing is usually a good idea ...you just don't want to be uncomfortable the whole night.

It will help, b/c then they wont have to tie it as tight... I know this to be true, b/c I watch Bulging Brides.

Re: Cannot BREATHE...

umm i just looked at pics of you in your dress and i think if you loose 5 pounds then you won't exist any more....you are sooo skinny...how can the dress be too tight??? is it size -2?

Re: Cannot BREATHE...

LOL thank you! I am in no way saying i am fat or skinny. The dress is just cut in a way on my chest and tummy that i cant breathe deep breathes, maybe i can wear some spanx to hold me in

Re: Cannot BREATHE...

honestly, spanx might make it worse...what are you wearing underneath your dress as of right now? my dress just fits and then i tried it on w/ a corset from victoria's secret and it actually made my dress tighter then what it was with just a strapless bra...

I am sooo nervous about this! Can't your seamstress let out the seams?

Re: Cannot BREATHE...

have you hear os the master cleaners. It's a liquid diet that is really good. I lost 10lbs in 5 days. google master cleanser or lemon or lime diet. It is great.

Re: Cannot BREATHE...

I'm sure 5 lbs or a pair of spanx will help!!

i'm sure you'll be fine the way it is...just remember that adding spanx or a corset will smooth you out but it also adds extra material underneath your dress and in turn will probably make it tighter...

Re: Cannot BREATHE...

It doesnt look tight but if you feel it is then only lose a couple of pounds. At your size, 5 lbs might be too much and then your dress will be too big!
You look beautiful btw!!!

Re: Cannot BREATHE...

I totally feel your pain. It seems like in order for my dress to fit right (ie stay up and not flash the world) the dress has to be so tight around my rib cage that it is hard to breath. I'm not sure if there is anything to fix this because if i lost weight the dress would slip down again? If you figure something out, let me know!
