Went for my second fitting last night and left in tears...
At first it wouldn't zip up and silly me thought I actually lost weight... then it FINALLY zips up and i'm popping out of the top - and not in a sexy boobalicious way - but as in chicken wings and flesh...
the seamstress was telling me to just tuck and push everything into the dress - hate to tell her that I paid a lot of money so thay my boobs couldn't be pushed down . but that's neither here nor there, it was much too tight on top and may be in part to the fact that I had cups sewn in - they may have to come out... I had back fat like you would not believe - that is NOT the look I am going for by any means... my dress is just too tight and i'm so upset
I want to look breathtaking but want to be able to breathe!
sorry for the vent. I just don't know what to do. I started a diet last night and am really going to try to loose some poundage before the big day - but i only have 39 days to whip myself into shape... I'm absolutely distraught.

I would have them take the cups out. It may make a big difference. I would just work out and really watch my salt intake. Go easy on carbs and you should be okay. I'm sorry that happened.
I have to agree!
I have SMALLLLLLLLLL boobies and they had cups in my dress but becuase the top was sooooo tight, my LITTLE girls were pushed up too much, so they took the cups out and it really did help a bunch! Try that!

Re: So upset - hate my dress
u def can do it.. think as the wedding gets closer you'll lose weight and wont even realize it!! people always say that... drink lots of water.. with this crazy weather i think we all are feeling a little fuller these days from the humidity and burst of heat... my cousin bought spanx to wear under her dress to keep hers under control... maybe that will work?? i do not recommend having them take the dress out because if its sewn already you'll see the marks...
dont worry!! everything will work out and you'll look beautiful on ur day!!

I am sooooo sorry to hear this!
I can't imagine how you are feeling right now; this is the time that we ware supposed to feel so beautiful about ourselves and we are very emotional....
you said it is your second fitting - how was the first fitting? how did you fit in the gown that day?
maybe its just a few pounds and then you will look great in it!?
at the first fitting it fit perfect, zipped right up. it was a little tight on top - but I'm broad and filled it out, but not like this...
ok so maybe you can get to that size again - I am sure there isn't that much of a size difference between the first and second and if you went up a bit, you can go down a bit.
I am hoping for you!
good luck!

If you eat well drink lots of water and exercise you will be fine. def. take out the cups... It will work out believe me! You will be beautiful the last 2-3 weeks people drop weight with out even trying.

The seamstress for my friend's wedding at Bridal Reflections in Massapequa was great - she said NOT to have cups sewn in, sometimes is makes the top look funny, but to wear a regular bra or bustier & she sews velcro onto the bra & into the dress so the top of the dress doesn't have a big gap like when you sew cups in. If you would feel more comfortable with a bra, I would try it. I'm sure it would fit better on top that way, and if you bend over you won't be showing the world your girls.

Re: So upset - hate my dress
I'm a June 3rd bride, and my dress is coming in next week. I have the exact same fear. I've lost a little weight since I bought my gown, but I wanted to lose more, and I haven't, I've had health issues. Actually, I should be losing weight considering I'm having problems eating, and I'm not, which is odd. Except I've had to cut way back on my exercising, so that's probably it.
Anyway, I get the feeling that we need a Early June Brides Weight-Loss Thread. Who's with me?
Seriously, if they've done work on the bodice, have them take out the cups, get a good tight corset, and you'll be fine. You'll look beautiful. Lose five pounds if you want, and you'll feel better, too.

I recall you saying you were snacking a bit more and you put on a tad of weight, but it REALLY sounds like the cups are the culprit....
You fit into your other clothes, right? Take those cups out, and just go back to your normal ways... you'll be fine...

My first fitting, they had to take it in. But I for myself was way to thin, so I went on a high protein diet, and gained weight. Aside from that I was lifting weights. Needless to say, my second fitting, the back only zipped 3 quarters of the way, and they had to take in under my arms . I did go back again, and they were able to take out some stitching, and it was perfect!! Don't be discouraged. Everything will be ok. It's their job to fix what has to be fixed. I actually listened to my seamstresses advice. She has an Italian accent, but she said 'Maintana thisa weight' and thats what I did. Hopefuly that bagel I had last week doesn't catch up with me
