Day 59 of new lifestyle, and I tried on my wedding gown for the first time since November. OH MY GOSH, I went into panic mode. The undergarment bra piece fits fine still, but the slip ($80!!) falls right off, it's so loose! And I thought the dress would just be a little more flattering with the weight loss, but it's noticeably bigger and loose. This is not good.

So, I researched professional tailors/alterations in my area, and found a great one. She let me know that she can do her magic for a pretty penny on the dress, but the slip might be unsalvageable. She mentioned that I can continue with the weight loss for another 4-6 weeks before the first real fitting, but after that, I need to maintain and not lose, so the alterations will be correct.

Friends, we know what this means: I need to hit it HARD in the next month or so.

I need to lose as much as I can before the alterations. If I just continue to lose, the dress won't fit right, or I'll have to spend extra money on last minute rush alterations. Gahhh, this is so complicated!

Hope everybody has a good week!

GOOD LUCK. I found a lady that was able to switch my zip up dress to a corset back for $60. That way she could do body shape alterations and the day of the wedding it would fit perfect regardless of if i lost a few pounds or gained a few pounds. I LOVED it. For photos and ceremony we had it tied SUPER tight so the photos looked good. For the reception we loosened it a bit so I could dance!

Wichitaks- I never would have thought of a corset back! Not sure if they could do it with my lace and beaded dress, but I will be sure to mention it to the seamstress! Brilliant. Dani and Calannapy- thank you so much, I'm going to keep on trucking I hope. My fatsecret buddies like you are my inspiration!
