How does this look?

RomanticYellowConfetti495, 1 March, 2018 at 20:32 Posted on Planning 0 12

Hi I’m having a small panic that the dress I really like shows my post baby belly too much, just wondering ideas anyone would be able to give me honest opinions about my dress

    It looks lovely, you are quite slim but if you are self conscious then just buy a pair of Spanx!

    If your self conscious about it, then keep looking. The last thing you want is to be self conscious on the day and look back.on photos and think you look bad (not that you do, the dress is beautiful)

    I found a dress in a similar style to that. I really liked it and it was between that one and a princess style dress which flared at the waist. In the end I decided against the fishtail; I didn’t like that, although I’m very slim, it looked like I had a small pouch. No one else said that it was noticeable, but I didn’t feel 100% confident and thought it would be only amplified on the day after having lots of food. I would look for other dresses if I were you, in different styles. If you come back to that one after you’ve looked at a few more options, I’d say go for it! But imho, if you’re having to ask the internet if it looks okay, it seems to me like you’re not 100% sold and you might find something else that makes you feel better.

    Although I do think the dress is stunning!

    beautiful dress Hunni - you look amazing!!! You have a lovely slim figure and I absolutely wouldn’t have guessed you’d recently had a baby. I think if when you put on the dress you feel a million dollars.... BUY IT!!! But if you’re feeling anything but fabulous SHOP AROUND. It’s your one special day... the day you’ve been planning and looking forward to... the last thing you want is to not enjoy your day because you feel self-conscious. It’s YOUR day... it should be perfect! :-) X

    Honestly, I looked at the picture before your comments and my first thought was you have a great figure in that dress! I then read your comment and had to look again for the baby bump! I think you look stunning in that dress, and if that is the one you want then go for it. A good sign is that you won’t want to take it off. Don’t worry about asking for opinions, I did after I’d ordered mine as have many people on here, and I love my dress even more now it’s arrived and not a shop one!

    If your worried then get some slimming underwear. You want to feel fantastic on your wedding day so it might be worth having something on underneath so you won’t have to think about a bump even after food. Also if you’ve got a few months to go then can you try and reduce the bump (sorry I know nothing about post baby bumps, but can these be toned with pilates and swimming etc?)

    Certainly I would say find something you feel comfortable with because you don't want to feel conscious on the day. However, as far as your tummy goes, I think that dress looks fantastic - a decent photographer will make it look even more flattering than it does in the camera phone shot you posted; some gentle posing advice, lighting, and the photographers angle will all help.
