Worried about passing out in dress?

Weird, I am not pregnant but during my first fitting I got REALLY HOT! Like hot flash hot. From my head to my toes I broke out in a sweat and turned a fan on me. My alterations lady was so scared I was going to pass out but I did not eat that much that day. I can't imagine how hot I will be the day of the wedding so I am going to try to take as much out as I possibly can so my dress can be as light as possible! Oh and drink water too! GOOD LUCK!!

Leslie, my seamstress turned the fan on for me too, which helped but I really had to focus on not passing out. lol. I can already see myself at the altar, asking for a chair because I am getting dizzy. Oh my….

That thought def went through my mind as well! I was thinking I am going to be so much hotter on the day of. Hopefully, you can try to get your dress as light as possible and stay somewhere cool until your time!!

Oh my goodness! hearing this kind of makes me feel better!! I had my first dress fitting on Thursday and I had the same experience. My co-workers think it was just a rush of it finally "being REAL" getting to me. I was in my dress for over an hour (they fussed with my bustle for some time. Trying to get it to lay just right.) I started to get really hot and I broke out in a bad sweat. I asked for a drink of water and sat down. When she came back she said I was really pale and she was going to get me out of the dress right away. My dress is not tight on me so I can't explain it at all. I think with all of the adrenaline and excitement on that day I shouldn't need to worry but it is a bit odd. I'll see how I do on the next fitting. Worst case, we can always sit in chairs instead of standing.

Miss to mrs, I was just ab to say the same thing! Haha I'm the worst at locking my knees so all those signs sounded familiar lol

My MOH kept a fan on me during the whole ceremony because it was so hot

I've been having anxiety the last week

I'm not scared to get married per say I'm just over this whole planning shit it's stressing me out and I did not think we would have 137 yes out of 184 people so now I'm starting to really freak out! I keep talking to myself telling myself it's just my future husband and I! I also think getting older is getting to me too realizing I'll be 31 and kids will be coming soon lol

So much going on so quickly lol

I just want this planning to be over lol whew I feel better now lol

Maybe you could talk to your FH and establish a little signal, so that if you start feeling at all dizzy you cue him and he can hold onto you to keep you upright?

Jenn, I like that idea. Thank you! I will definitely have to figure something out.

I think it's the rush of having the dress on!

Oh my! I never even thought about it & now I'm worried! I hope the chapel will be cool!

This happens to me all the time. I hate trying on clothes in the store. I get over heated really quickly. Even when I'm at my house and I take my shower, blow dry my hair, and then start getting my clothes on (especially when I'm getting dressed up for something) it just doesn't take much for me to get SUPER hot. It's so annoying, then of course nothing fits right, and you're miserable.

Bottom line: this may sound crazy, but have your venue CRANK that A/C. That's what we did, and that was our venues normal practice while the wedding party was getting ready. It helps A LOT. Staying calm, drinking water, and just being relaxed also really helps.

Another tip to keep cool: a fan under your table! hike that dress up and get a breeze on your legs!
