Depressed...annoyed...I've lost no weight! FLASH final dress fitting

TBH I think you look fantastic and the dress suits you x If your that worried about your back could you not get a jacket or bollero (sp) x

I honestly don't think your back looks fat at all. I think you look lovely. Personally I wouldn't take away from the dress with a jacket but if you are conscious about it then hair down would do enough to make you comfortable I think.

If you are really self conscious how about a chiffon wrap like these http://www.ukbridalstore.co.uk/Chiffon+wraps+PU1ETXdBVE02a25jdmRXWjBGMlk

I think you look lovely ! And I have no willpower either ! I do think your hair would look nice down though as at the moment all the detail is at the front and you have gorgeous long hair that could be curled down you back and look glorious !

How can you say that?! The dress looks amazing, it really suits you and you do not have a fat back at all!!! Love the little train too! x

Normal brides don't starve themselves.

Normal people don't starve themselves.

I can't see a "baby belly" or "excess back fat" so stop it now. You look fine.

It looks fabulous.

You're probably feeling exposed because we don't really wear this type of thing regularly. I can't see anything wrong with your back. You've got beautiful long hair that you could have trailing down your back to make you feel less conscious.

You'll knock OH's socks off in it.❤️

Same here, I can't see back fat either. You look lovely and your dress is gorgeous on you.

I am going to be brutaly honest here.

Wow!

You look gorgeous!!!!!! I think you are worrying about nothing u look stunning! Truly you are gona look amazing - u dont need to starve yourself you nutter.

When I saw the title of our post I was expecting the worst ... but you look fantastic ... if I look that good in my dress I will be delighted!

Have a wonderful day - your H2B is going to be a very happy man!!

I think you look gorgeous....I'm sure once you've had all your hair/make up etc you'll feel amazing and look on the day ? xxx

I agree with AJ.

Oh my goodness! You look fab - really no need to worry at all. Just enjoy every moment of your big day! Not long now!

I don't see back fat- I think the dress fits you perfectly! I had the opposite problem and lost too much weight so that my dress could not actually be altered anymore and I had to 'stuff' my cleavage to make it fit, that was worse believe me! Your dress is very elegant and you will look stunning on the day, and not self conscious at all as there will be far too much going on around you! If you are worried, there are lots of pretty boleros out there but I honestly think it would spoil your dress because of the straps (I had a halterneck too). Wearing your hair down or half up/down could be a solution but you have nothing to be covering up. Enjoy your last week as a Miss!!

Honestly - I think you look beautiful. I think that most brides are going to have a bit of percieved 'back fat' at the top if they have a strapless or halter gown like you have, as it has to be a little tight around the top to stop the dress escaping! I was exactly the same - but my mum and (very honest) maid of honour told me that it was fine.

I like your hair the way that you have it, it looks very elegant. If you are self conscious then as previous posters have suggested, get yourself a little bolero or a wrap.

Oh my god ladies (and man...loving the straightforward manly advice!!) I am genuinely shocked at your kind words. Genuinely shocked.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Like some of you said, I love the top part and the halterneck and don't want to cover that with a jacket or anything so I think rather than hair round to the side as in that pic, I will go for down my back so I feel more comfortable. I'm having my hair blow dried and done in large curls on the day so it will look better than that pic...

Eek...you have made me feel much better. We're almost the most critical of our own bodies aren't we. A lady I was talking to at my son's nursery yesterday gave me some advice - she said she has never seen an 'ugly' bride (yes I was complaining about being a minger on the day!) and that all brides transform into something glowing on the big day.

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I genuinely don't see any fat - back or otherwise!

You look gorgeous! Its a lovely dress and really suits you so I can promise you, you have nothing to worry about!

I simply refer you to something I've posted before, that my grandad wrote about his wedding day in 1945.

"I don’t know why it is but a woman looks her finest on her wedding day, she positively glows, - whereas the groom apart from the silly grin on his face, looks the same. The thing I remember is standing at the altar, with brother George as best man, and hearing the rustle of a wedding gown and the footsteps of my future wife – and life – coming closer to stand by my side.”

Blobby and fat?? I think the only thing wrong with you is your eyesight!!! The dress looks lovely on you, from the front and the back. Very sleek and elegant and certainly no sign of any back fat! x

OP, I would just like to say a massive 'SHUT UP!'.

Back fat? Erm where?

You look lovely and should stop worrying...

Back fat?? I've got more fat on my eyelids ( swollen with nasty hayfever!)

You look fabulous, stop worrying & enjoy the build up.

If it's ok for a girl to say this - I'm jealous of your boobs! The top of that dress is gorgeous and you have such an amazing decoletage (is that the right spelling). I can guarantee your OH will be blown away when he sees you. Don't worry I don't mean that in a bad way I just think the top of the dress is so absolutely perfect for your figure he won't be looking anywhere else and at th end of the day his opinion is the only one that really matters (and re: back fat....think my computer screen is duff because I can't see any, I was expecting overhangs from your [collapse]original message and there are none that I can see! If you're worried what about a veil that wil cover the shoulders from the back but not ruin the front? You can remove it once you've finished the ceremony which is the only time anyone will really notice your back)

Go knock'em dead gorgeous lady - you look lovely xx

PS Sherrie - your comment made me laugh - I have a blocked tear duct so have one attractive fat eyelid....it's obviously the style of the week!

What back fat?

You look gorgeous x

"Pleaseee!!!"

Back fat?!? Where are you looking!!! Jeeeezzz.....

Your worrying over nothing, snap outta it before it take over!!

I agree, if you have your hair going down your back you'll probably feel more comfortable1

Love the dress BTW, very elegant! Xxx

Lovely dress. I also agree there is zero back fat to be seen

You look lovely, you really do!

You look gorgeous! You don't need to lose any weight at all, you look perfect in your dress (although maybe you need your eyes tested!) I've seen more meat on a chickens lip xx

I think you look lovely and not fat, thats for sure. i think you are the only one who sees back fat but if you are anxious id wear your hair down so your back isnt as exposed x
