First dress fitting in the morning - update with flash!

How exciting!! Make sure you take some photos to show us

Aww I had mine last Saturday and had the same worries! It was quite snug in Jan when it came in the shop and i was struggling to walk! I was a bit apprehensive about my appt.

But...I have lost well over a stone since then and the fit was amazing, I coudn't believe it! I was so happy and relieved at the same time!

I think it will be the same for you

xXx

Thanks for your votes of confidence ladies - I think it worked as the dress fitted from the front at least!

Oh my goodness you look beautiful. Dress is lovely & u wear it so well. I know most of us have body issues but honestly you look amazing !!

Don't worry I had the same issue today which caused a crease in my back (and get married next week!) - it was purely because I was bloated so it was making the dress sit funny, try to make sure you don't have any water retention and it will help :-)

You look stunning definitely no need for body confidence issues you have a stunning figure!

You look fantastic!! And I'm sure the back fat is more in your head than on your back like mine was x

Ohhh it looks lovely! You look beautiful, you dont have to worry about anything. xx

You look beautiful. Your figure is amazing x

Oh thanks everyone,you've been so lovely! I wish I saw what you saw. I love my dress and it's everything I wanted but I'm kinda wishing I didn't go strapless to cover my armpits/back bulge. I've strategically covered the small armpit bulge with my hair. Think il keep my veil on as long as possible!

I'm concerned they did the top bit up too tight.

ive also decided not to go for the straps as it draws more attention to my back.

Grrr not happy. Feel I have to post a picture to show you what I mean, it makes me feel horrible though.

It's just the way it's sitting and easily fixed, you don't have it done up as tight for one and the second thing is a little trick - this is caused by the way it's sitting and the position if you get a friend to run their hand along the back so it sits better then it tends to disappear - it's also effected by what your wearing underneath - e.g. if wearing bulkier bra then it will add to it.

I love the dress and it looks amazing on you, who's it by if you don't mind me asking?

If you chose to have straps would it have to be those ones or do the store stock others? Only reason I'm asking is because if you're still unhappy with your back could there be an option to get some straps which are a bit wider - it could make you feel more covered? Fingers crossed though if will be sorted

It's the Stella York 5835 and I added a belt to it

youre right I could have other straps if need be, I'm hoping il be brave enough to wear it without straps though. Must keep working with those hand weights!

Seriously chick its the way they've done up the back. they've squeezed your tiny frame so tight & laced it far too tight. The back fits beautifully apart from that, their mistake not yours ! Its a lovely dress & u look stunning. one the day or at next fitting don't do it so tight & you will be much happier xx BTW the top of one of my arms is about the width of yr back !!! Believe me u look great xxx

Hi

I joined just so I could post ?. You are my dress twin!

Its a stunning dress and looks gorgeous, it looks like it fits all over perfectly and I would agree with the others about the lace up being a little too tight.

I'm having some sparkle added to mine too, I felt it needed something xx

Ooh I've not had a dress twin yet,this is very exciting! When do you get married? Do you have any pictures of you in the dress?

ive booked another fitting in 2 weeks to go back and try it done I again looser, fingers crossed!

It's a stunning dress, I ended up ordering from a shop closer to home (and who were also doing a discount) instead of the shop I tried it in, so no piccys yet. Getting married April 2016 so wont get to try it on again for a few months. I love the Stella York dresses, I tried quite a few on! Are you having the belt stitched on? I was hoping to find something to go along the top

Oh very exciting!

I did decide to have the belt stitched on so there wouldn't be the lace up back as well as ribbon tails hanging down - all a bit busy for me and it really needed something.

The dress shop I bought mine from pinned a diamante applique on to the neckline of the dress and it looked gorgeous! The only thing is I'm top heavy so I didn't want to draw any eyes there. See if the shop near you can do something similar.

I am in love with your dress. you look PERFECT!!! YIIII Congraaaats!!!!!
