Freaking out!!! Help!! (long)

Would it work to inventively pad out your body enough to fit into the dress.

Would be cheap.

Not require remake of dress.

You are never gonna wear the dress again, right?

Keeps you going along happily on your weight loss program.
Your Bride friend would prefer that you look out for yourself and
your health before "looking beautiful" in the chorus line of bridemaids,
surely?

Ask your bride friend for her advice.

I am going to be a bridesmaid at the beginning of december. We ordered our
dresses in June, before I went LC but when I knew I would be soon. So when I
ordered my dress I made sure I could return it and re-order a different size
in time.

So the dress was in in august and the 14 was huge so we ordered the 12,
well - I should've ordered the 10 because I just picked up my new dress and
it's too big. i have to have it totally altered and remade into a 10. It'll
probably cost as much as the damn dress and I am broke right now!!

My dilemma is this:

Should I just try to stop losing for the next month and then restart after
the wedding? Inside I am screaming NOOOOOOOO and I am scared I won't be able
to get back on track or that If I loosen up a bit I will start to slide. I
have 26lbs left to go and I don't want to stop now!!

I am thinking that I will keep losing and wait as long as possible to have
the dress altered, I am worried they won't be able to make it fit me well
enough.

Really - Halloween, Thanksgiving and the family birthdays that are coming up
do not make this an appealing time for me to want to give up. I know I can
go to a maintenance plan - I dunno I'm just freaking out!!

One thought was to maybe add Oatmeal at breakfast, have my salads with
chicken for lunch, dinner as usual, maybe add a piece of fruit - but I am
scared I'll start craving or lose my discipline...

Wahhhhhhhh. i know I am ranting - sorry. it's just making me nuts!!

The way I read this, you haven't actually talked to a tailor about the
problem. You are speculating. Maybe you are getting all worked up for
nothing. After all, the difference between a 12 and a 10 isn't that big of
a deal. It's not going to fall off of your shoulders---just be too big
around. It is possible that the tailor (or you) could just baste it on the
inside to make it tighter.

Don't go off the diet. Stop worrying and just go get some professional
advice. That won't cost anything.

Well - the dress is already a full size too large so it's already trouble.
If I stay exactly as I am and have it altered I won't have to worry about
the altered dress being too big. Maybe I didn't make that clear.

If I get the dress altered from a 12 down to a 10 then lose more weight I
will have problems.

I don't have a projected weight for 6 weeks from now but I have been losing
4-8lbs a month.

I find that pants that fit one week are loose the next! I am not wasting
away - LOL - but I don't want to put the brakes on either!!

I figure if I keep losing then put off alterations as long as possible it
may work out.

I spoke to the alterations person at the bridal shop. She said the dress can
be taken in 2 sizes, maybe I misunderstood that to mean 12 to 10 - but maybe
it can go down to 8. If I wore the dress how it is now it looks very silly!!

This is the dress, I dunno if the link will work
http://www.davidsbridal.com/bridesmaids_dresses_bycolor_detail.jsp?stid=891&pid2=3171&cfid=1
but it's style 8158 in Apple red.

it's just too big allover right now.

Just wear a dress that is too big and don't sweat it. Stopping your weight
loss for a wedding would be completely nuts.

You have obviously never been a bride or a bridesmaiid LOL!!! For one thing
the dress looks ridiculously big right now. The bride & groom are spending
alot of money on photos and I can't show up in a big baggy tent of a dress!
I've lost 5 inches in my hips since june!!! and a few inches in the chest,
belly and waist also! The dress must be altered, I guess you mean if it's a
little big after that it's ok?

If you showing up in a dress too big would not upset the bride too
much, I would say do not bother altering. Besides the bride, no one is
likely to give a [censored], and if they do notice, it will be a positive
thing like "oh, this girl must have lost weight".

I spent 6 months wearing XL clothes after losing weight, even though I
was size M. (I was not sure if I was or was not going to regain, so I
did not want to be like an idiot buying all brand new clothes and then
regaining).

I'm sure you looked lovely. At least I am keeping up apperances shopping at
thrift shops!! I got some Calvins and Gap jeans for 1$ and 6$ and a lot of
nice shirts and 2 awesome cool jackets at Salvation Army! Not to mention my
new Frye platform boots that were only $7!!

Also, small alterations are not incredibly difficult if you have a
sewing machine or a friend with one. Just a bit of alteration in the
waist area may be "good enuff". It's not your wedding after all.

This is NY people - looks count. I must have the dress at least altered from
a 12 to 10, after that I don't know if there is anything i can do. I am not
taking an evening gown to my sewing machine - no way jose.

It is a wonderful thing. Is it such a burden to apologize to the other
wedding guests for losing weight? I say, wear the oversize dress with
pride. Think of it as showing off.

If the dress must be altered, then it will be. Waiting as long as you can
and living with a slightly too big dress won't be the end of your or their
world - even if it were a baggy tent dress! 🙂

Protect your weight loss and any cost. Everyone knows how hard it can be
for lots of poeple to even get weight loss started.

I knew that! Don't worry, you'll look fine if you can wait a big. Just
don't have it made to fit too tightly....then you'll put a jinx on
yourself!
🙂

yeah - I feel a bit calmer and I emailed the Bride. She's so mellow and
funny! Congratulating me on the success and saying to do what I want!
Anyway - I will call the seamstress now and see what she says.

Maybe We can have the alterations done 1-2 weeks beofre the wedding and
it'll be ok.

someone actually suggested I pad my body to make the dress fit!! ack!

How long does a dress take to get to you once it's ordered?

Wait until the last possible minute and order the size you are then.
If it's a little big, who cares? It's the brides day.

What I would do is find out exactly how much they can take the dress in & how
much it is going to cost.

If it is really as expensive as you think it will be to alter it enough, order
it in a size 6 or and 8 and sell the bigger one.

At least that's what i would do🙂Robyn

Should I just try to stop losing for the next month and then restart after
the wedding? Inside I am screaming NOOOOOOOO and I am scared I won't be able
to get back on track or that If I loosen up a bit I will start to slide. I
have 26lbs left to go and I don't want to stop now!!

I wouldn't stop. If I hadn't fallen off the wagon a year ago, I'd be at
goal right now. It seems harder to re-start than it is to start and keep
going. Been there, done that, the t-shirt is too tight.

That is exactly what she meant. The difference in size is really quite
small.

thought I said there isn't time for that...thanks anyway.
