I'm back from my fitting

Lynseys Designs, 17 April, 2009 at 17:27 Posted on Planning 0 44

Which went well although the dress is still tight but the woman said it will always be tight no matter how slim I am because that is what corsets do. It was really clear my weight loss had made a difference so I'm really pleased with that. She also said it would loosen off after about half an hour of wearing it so not to be tempted to tie it loser because then it will start to slip.

I presumed I'd go back for another fitting but nope I don't try it on again until the day before the wedding! Ekkkkk. x

    Pics don't look any different from before because she didn't pin the sweetheart neckline in place. I really hate my arms though and need to get working them out to tone them up.

    Didn't read the bit about the neckline and just started writing a whole reply saying OMG - they forgot to do it! lol.

    Pics are fab, you look gorge.

    Just got your email about not trying it on again until the day before. Noooooooooo, you HAVE to insist on another fitting. Remember what trouble I had when they took the hips in too much on my dress and I came home crying as I had big creases where it was too tight and I couldn't actually move in it and it felt like my hips were being crushed. If I had sat down I am sure it would have split.

    Please please please insist on another fitting.

    Yay!! Glad it went well Lyns. Looking gorgeous (obviously!) and you do look more comfortable than your previous pics.

    I agree with Lisa, I would insist on another fitting before then too!

    Awww...lovely Lyns....glad it all went well and it looks amazing on you. I have mine tomorrow too..this is my final one so can't really lose any more weight which is a shame as with 5 weeks to go I wanted to squueze every last training session in!

    BTW - your arms look fine...a tip I took from a photographer friend if you are paranoid about your arms in photos then lift them slightly away from your body for the photos as having them too close pushes your skin flat which makes them look bigger than they are!!

    Wowee you look great! And pffft about your arms! I'd pay good money to get my arms looking like that. And you know the ghost with the line we talk about? You couldn't be further from it! x

    Thanks Ooh la la. I didn't actually think I look different just felt different and not as restricted in the dress.

    Do you really think I look smaller?

    This was take last year.

    Well Lisa has really made me think I do need to insist on trying it on again so I'm going to phone them and ask if I can try it on maybe a week before. I'm not happy that I don't get to see it in it's full glory until 24 hours before.

    THANKS EVERYONE. All your comments are really nice xx

    Lyns, you look lovely. Well done on the weight loss! (although I've no idea what you're going on about with your arms)

    Bet you're getting excited now! And definitely insist on another fitting.

    Hope you're ok lovely. xx

    PG you look gorgeous! The difference is visible and you look great - and happy.

    I have to agree about the extra fitting. I'm only having one fitting on 6 May, as losing weight, but will be making sure I get to try it on again with enough time for emergency alterations!

    Lyns - you look fantastic!!!!! You know how I love your dress.

    What they said re the corset is true - they are snug but give such a great figure that make the slight discomfort worth it!!! They do loosen off after 20 mins or so - so sometimes nned to be tightened. I assume someone has been taught how to lace you in??

    Another great trick - when all laced in - lean forwards and pull up your boobs!! When you stand up you have a killer cleavage!!!!!!

    I have to say - if they don't let you have another fitting - don't fret. As it is a lace up then you can just be taken tighter in - you have a wide enough gap to allow more wt loss if you do, without losing the effect.

    Can't wait to see the full effect!!!!

    You look lovely Lynsey!

    For your arms ..i HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dnya Bands... they are great a 10 mins a night and you will be miss toned and sexy arms!!! They are cheap too and better, more convieint and work faster than weights. Use the green one to start with the pink one is a waste of times then move to purple then silver ...if you hit silver you will be mega toned xxxxx HTH

    Here's some on e Bay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Dyna-Band-Resistance-Exercise-Band_W0QQitemZ360135112198QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Sporting_Goods_Exercise_Fitness_Fitness_Accessories_ET?hash=item360135112198&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1683%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318

    Wow Lyns. You look fantastic. I agree, you can see such a difference from the last pics. You've got nothing to worry about with your arms.

    Hi,

    I hate showing cleavage and even when the woman showed me how the sweetheart could be done I was like 'nooo too much cleavage and she laughed'. I'm rather busty so prefer to hide them mostly so my neckline will just show a tiny weeny bit.

    She said the same about the weight issue and was happy for me to lose more cos of the laces. It was the reason I wanted a lace up back as my weight always changes from week to week.

    My bm and mum will be shown how to lace me up the day before. I'm glad you agree it loosens off!

    BTW I love your recent pics from Teri. Absolutely stunning. x

    Thanks Nikki. Do you think I have a hope of toning up in under 5 weeks?

    I used to have a band when I needed physio but don't have it now. x

    Definitely... 10 mins every night ( you can do more if you like) and you will see a difference! Not that i can see anything wrong with them, but i know how you feel.

    I love dyna bands
