Hello everyone, Wedding is on Friday. It is now Monday night. I am working tomorrow and Wednesday.

Hello everyone,

Wedding is on Friday. It is now Monday night. I am working tomorrow and Wednesday. I just got my dress back from being altered (got a corset back put in, as it was just too tight)

Its awful. The dress originally was perfect on the bust and too tight on my fat belly, and by lacing it up, its now gaping on top, hanging off my shoulders, and the lace up back is bunching up. And its changed the overall hang of the dress and it now doesnt even look nice from the front anymore. I'm like a sausage half out its skin.

Its a complete disaster.

We are being unconventional so no bridesmaids, small wedding, and its H2B who helped me try it on. (He was also there when I bought it) and his reaction, was 'nice'.

I dont want to wear it. It looks stupid, and crap. And I really dont know what else to do. We have no money left in the pot for even a nice dress out a normal shop. I'm a size 24 anyway, and I just honestly dont know what to do. I just want to cry. I had nightmares about getting married in jeans and now its going to come true.

I dont even know why I'm posting this, as its so hopeless. God, what can I do?

    Culd you order one online for next day delivery, from BHS or somewhere? It might nt be perfect, but it might look better than what you have now.

    So sorry to hear about your partner's coma. I hope that he is ok. Good on you for wearing jeans. Brides put far too much pressure on themselves to find the perfect dress. It gets worn for 1 day!
