Rubbish 1st fitting update... updated with a new flash!!

Emmaleanne123, 27 July, 2011 at 18:56 Posted on Planning 0 17

8 weeks ago i went for my 1st dress fitting and had a really rubbish time... the dress was too big as i had lost too much weight. Since november i have lost over 3 stone from size 16 down to a 12! (i wrote about it on here if anyone remembers) The lady said she could take it in but it probably still wouldn't look right! She said to come back in 8 weeks and we could re- evaluate the situation. I left feeling deflated and very stressed!!

I went back today with 8 weeks til the wedding. I tried the dress on and it looked even worse!! The lady in the shop agreed with me, the dress just wasn't right and she suggested i tried on some different styles. I found the most amazing dress... in budget and very fairy tale!! So i've swapped i had to pay a little extra as this dress is more expensive but she knocked off £200!!

I feel amazing in it and cannot stop smiling ? Its a Romantica dress (sorry its so big i can't figure out how to make it smaller) ? It looks a lot different on me as im alot curvier than the model... I will try uploading a picture of me in it later when H2B is out!

A very happy and very excited Emma x



please excuse the tissues under the arms?

    I'm so happy for you! The bodice on that dress is gorgeous, I really like it. Look forward to your flash of you in it later.

    Im worried about this too as i have ordered my dress i lost 4 store gone down 2 dress sizes so ordered my dress. i told the woman at the time i was still losing weight ans she said i can go down 2 more sizes and have it altered without it affecting the dress. why did the dress not look right after going down 2 dress sizes im very worried now x

    Firstly, cograts on your weight loss!!! Try not to worry too much.. when is your fitting?

    It could have just been the design of the dress that i choose, but before i lost my weight i had bigger "lady assets" and the dress tucked me in underneath them, then out for my hips but now when i put it on it looks flat around my top half and very baggy like i have no shape, very box like!

    But like i say this could just have been me and the areas i lost weight from! What style of dress have you got? x

    I got the shaneesa dress from berketex. i have big boobs also and dont normally lose weight from this area so will prob need the size round there and for the hips. usually comes of my waist first i think 2 stone will be ok to lose...i hope. well done on your weight loss. my dress fitting isnt until august time next year so a while away ?

    I LOVE your dress!! It's beautiful, and you look fabulous in it and it sits much nicer on you than the model IMO.

    Congratulations on your weight loss too!

    Wow, fantastic weight loss! I've struggled to get 1 1/12 stone off so it must feel awesome to say you've lost 3 stone! Beautiful dress, your OH is going to be blown away when you walk down that aisle.
