Beginner April 2011

Newbie, excited and stessed!!

Katy BangBang, 22 May, 2010 at 20:45 Posted on Planning 0 9

Hi everyone, I've just joined the forum as recommended by a work mate as I'm getting married next April. Everthing is pretty much booked but I haven't yet got the dress! I'm stressing a bit about this. Should I have 'seen' one by now? Also, I'm trying to loose some weight for the day (not unusual) I'm a size 10 at the minute and I feel so huge. I have put on a bit of weight (just being lazy, busy at work) so need to get back to the gym to get to my ideal size 6 for the big day.

Hopefully I can get some inspiration from you guys!?

    Hello and welcome Size 10 is not huge lol. Wedding dresses make you feel slimmer anyway when you find the right one. Just try on different styles till you find the one you are comfortable with. It will be altered to fit nearer the time.

    Hi and welcome to Hitched. NExt April is about 11 months away and most places reccomend about 9 months to order your dress so ou still have plenty of time. DOn't worry about weight, 10 is not huge, and as others have said, wedding dresses are good at pulling everything in and making you look tiny. Keep looking and you will find something!

    Hi there and welcome! It's really friendly here. Size 10 already - that's not huge! I agree with what's been said above - dresses are always somewhat smaller than other clothes and do hold you in tightly! Have a look at various designs and styles from princess styles to lovely show off your figure/figure hugging ones. What kind of dress do you have in mind? xx

    Anyway better get some more housework done so I can chill out later! ?

    Welcome to Hitched and congratulations!

    Size 10 and feel huge? lol what you do if you were a plus size? shoot yourself?Smiley tongue

    When I went to try dresses on I was told there are 7 basic styles, e.g. halterneck, sweetheart neckiline, straight neckline etc. So try on any dress in each of those styles to determine 'your dress style' Once you have determined that then you can try all dresses of that type, then you will not waste time trying on huge numbers of dresses that aren't the most flattering for your shape.

    It was very obvious to me as soon as I stood in front of the mirror which of the 7 styles which were the most flattering.
