Funny question re Strapless Dresses!!!!!!!!!

I would try it on again with the correct underwear. I spent months trying my dress on without a bra (as I didnt seem to have a strapless one to fit me anymore) then I finally tried it on a few weeks ago with the bra I wanted to wear and the bloody thing was far too tight and didnt do up properly and the dress lady said she couldnt alter it until I lost more weight, which im still trying to do now. It might be fine with corset but best to try it ASAP.

I don't mean to offend anyone but unless you're super skinny most people have back fat and as wedding dresses with corsets tend to be pulled in tight it shows up, you probably wouldn't notice it in any other clothing! Now I'm not saying it's true in your case it may well be your backbones but I know it's true in my case, and the dress I tried on was a size too big! It's one of the reasons I decided to wear a bolero, as gorgeous as the dress looks from the front I would be paranoid about my back looking horrible all day!

Try it on with the underwear you want to wear and if you're still not happy think about covering it?

Yep I think youre right - got first fitting in two weeks so will try it then. Im also trying to lose a few more pounds too!! ?

I had slight back fat , the dress maker let the dress out slightly, big mistake, after wearing my dress for an hour or so , the material seemed to relax and i spent the rest of the day hitching my dress up. not a good look lol

I'm afraid I can't offer anything constructive but the whole back fat (and hoiking up of the frock at the frock at the front) are my huge pet hates about strapless dresses. They are very unforgiving, even if you're a skinny lass.

I totally agree. Unless someone has zero fat and possibly even zero skin (lol) then back fat is just something that comes with corsets. It could be the dress was just too small for you and therefore the back fat was emphasized so was the dress the correct size for you? The sample dress made me back fat much worse than it was on the day as it was 2 sizes too small.

As for it being tight, again that's just corsets for you! I did get used to my dress a bit but it was always pretty tight but that's just part and parcel of having something which gives you a fantastic waist. If they weren't tight then they wouldn't stay up or pull girls in where they want to be pulled in.

No pain no gain as they say!

Thanks all - especially the advice re having your dress let out and having to hoik it up!! Will keep all comments in mind when I go for next fitting!!

I know what you mean - I once returned a ball gown to debenhams in near tears once my best mate pointed out the "back fat" issue!

I am thinking, with all those sparkles, and my veil, no one will even notice, nor care!

Hiya
