Wobble! Updated with Flash!!

katielou87, 1 October, 2011 at 21:06 Posted on Planning 0 18

Good evening ladies,

Im really just after a little reassurance tonight as the person I would usually get this from is OH but as the subject is my dress its obviously out of bounds!

I ordered my dress at the end of June, Cinderella by Alfred Angelo.. at the time I was 2 stones heavier. The dress in the shop fitted me perfectly and I loved it, I told the lady in the shop that I would be losing weight for the wedding so I would like a size smaller. She convinced me other wise saying that she has had so many brides say they are going to lose weight, order a smaller dress and then not manage it, so we ordered the size I tried on.

I went in to the shop this morning to try on the dress again just to get an idea of how much they may need to take in.... To say I was shocked was an understatement, having lost 2 stone the dress is now huge and trying it on has given me major wobbles and I'm worried I'm changing my mind about it..

Am I just being silly - I know they will be able to take it in. Am I thinking I dont like it because it is now a different shape on me? My actual dress comes in first week of Nov, should I hold off worrying until then?!

Oh god, Sorry for the ramble.. Just a little worried!!! ?

    Don't worry. Honestly. If the lady in the dress shop is confident they can take it in then they will. It will fit you like a glove when it's done and you'll be thrilled with it I'm sure.

    Well done for losing all that weight.

    I wouldn't worry, you feel like it doesn't look right because it doesn't fit properly anymore. It's hard to envisage what it will be like when it fits properly. But once it's been altered you will fall in love again . Congrats on losing the weight. How did you do it? I want to loose 1 stone but have never dieted before I don't think I will have the will power. I am starting swimming this week twice a week hopefully that will shift a stone ......

    Honestly, do not worry about it at all Smiley smile

    I'm an AA bride too and ordered by dress in the size I was at the time, when the dress came in it was huge on me, the seamstress took it in and when I went back for another fitting it was still too big on the hip area and she took it in again, overall she took the top in by 5" and the waist/hips by 5" and I absolutely love it on me now.

    When I first tried it on I started having wobbles and the second time, after it had been taken in and was still to loose on the hips I was really worried. But my dress is at my parents house now and I didn't wanna take it off after all the alterations I can now say its MY dress and fits me beautifully.

    Don't worry and good luck you'll look stunning when its fitted to you Smiley smile X

    Hi There

    Try not to panic. I had my dress size 14 made into a size 10. It's much better to have a dress altered to your individual shape that way you get a perfect fit. It makes a maiive difference to how you'll look. We have filmed a few brides who bought off the peg, didn't have any alterations and the dresses never look quite as good. Good Luck. Laura x
