Had my first dress fitting appointment last night. Talk about a huge blow to the ego, and demoralizing experience. I was ready to get a whole new dress rather than deal with it. The dress that I was sized for, and reordered for me just three weeks ago was way too tight around the bust. Fits perfectly through my hips (it's a trumpet dress), but dear God my upper body. Bust too big, shoulders too big. I can't lift my arms in the sleeves. They swear they can fix it (but needed three seamstresses to get ideas on how.) Is it worth keeping this dress? Time would be tight on anything else, but wow it made me feel awful.
And I workout 5-6 times a week. I'm strong/athletic\but still have a ways to go on my fit journey. This made me feel like nothing I do is good enough or will ever work.
Or are wedding dresses always an uncomfortable mess that you can't move your arms in?
