Help appreciated! Healthy slimmimg down to size 6

Hi Atgatt!


You have a lovely figure - have you tried on the style of dress that you fancy? Just wondering as if not, you may be pleasantly surprised by how well they suit you.
I was an 8-10,with by bum being a 12 and 30DD chest. I've used Myfitnesspal since last March and lost 2 stone. My curves have sadly gone but I've noticed that my hips are much smaller now. I actually didn't plan to lose any curves and if anything I need my bum back for my dress to look good! I certainly haven't been starving myself but have been on a lower calorie diet (I still eat snacks everyday too). I've been doing much more walking and jogging. I've barely done any strength training (which I need to start up again), but I think cardio is key for what you're looking to achieve!
Good luck but honestly I'm sure the dress would look amazing on you anyway!x

Hey there.
I am similar shape to you. Maybe even a bit more extreme and was concerned about my hips looking wide so initialled planned for a line but then just loved the mermaid look on me. So I choose a mermaid too and bought a size 12 for my "hips" but on top I was a size 6. The shop said they can alter the top no problem to fit and I get padded cups I decided to push my rather ungenerous chest a bit and " balance it out". Actually I think a bit of curve looks rather nice in those dress styles. If you loose weight you won't be able to just loose around hips/legs as sadly fat gets reduced evenly(meaning also less chest/ breast). Obviously muscles can be specifically trained but just loosing cm around hips is unlikely( and a well trained butt/leg is not necessary smaller just different). I wouldn't stress about reducing you legs/ hips for it. With the right mermaid/ fit and flare dress you will look awesome! Different materials make such a difference and just to point out no one will see your legs even in a mermaid as there is always some "space needed" to walk so they can't be that tight. And you got a great body already! Have you tried any on at all jet? If not go once shops open and try some on from different designers/ materials etc. Because I am very certain you will see they actually look really good on you!

Hiya


You have a beautiful figure. I’m sure any dress would suit you
I really would like a mermaid style dress too. I’m a size 10 on top 10 on bottom. 34D . I have an hour glass figure but I have what I feel are big hips . They are bony haha. The photos of the girls in mermaid dresses are very straight up and down- no boobs and very slim. This isn’t me haha
I’ve booked two dress appointments for next month when the boutiques open. I’ll try lots of different styles of dresses on and see what suits me. I may be pleasantly surprised and find the mermaid suits me as I am or that I actually like a completely different style altogether. Xx

Hello from a fellow pear shaped gal!

It's tricky, as my instinct is to say don't slim to force yourself into a style of dress, but I had my heart set on a sheath style as I love the sleek silhouette they have! I tried loads on and found lots of them too clingy on my thighs and thought I would have to give up (I also tried TONS of Aline, fit and flare, mermaid and all kinds of different styles too!)

I've also had friends who were adamant they only wanted one particular style of wedding dress and ended up with the polar opposite!

However, I did find a sheath style that was perfect as it has heavy detail all over (lots of sheath styles are patterned top and plain on the bottom half which drew the eye to thighs even more!) and also has a light layer over it which softens the impact of the fitted style.

So in a nutshell - get trying on a few different styles of mermaid dresses AND different styles as you might fall in love with something without forcing your weight and body shape to change :-)
