Back Fat in Wedding Dress :(

Hmm, were your boobs that big? Taking out cups to eliminate "back fat"? I am thinking you did not truly have back fat. :-)

@ Kathy - HAHAHA that's what my Bridesmaid said she thought I was nuts but in all honesty I could breathe the CUPS took up quite a bit of space in my dress I looked like I had implants

If you fixed the problem, who cares, no more worries.

I have seen many unflattering pictures of brides online with "issues" like the ones that you described. Personally I wouldn't want to look like that on my wedding day. I am a plus sized bride. I made sure my dress fit right. And I was worried about back fat, I didn't have any "hanging out" but I did have a veil and that made me feel better about my back side plus I have long hair which I use as a security blanket!

If you feel confident and sexy in what you are wearing, that is all that matters!

@ Mrs. D - I feel so much better now after fixing the problem and yes no more worries but I seriously sat in front of the computer all last night looking at brides backs haha I know I'm twisted but I wanted to know if it was a common issue among brides. And I totally feel sexy now

I had the same issue!! Thankfully, I know a close family friend seamstress and she just made it a corset back. It cost $100, but it was so worth every penny! (and now my hips look good too!!!!)

Uh YES. i went to try on my dress like a month ago and couldn't get it zipped up. granted i had on a longline bra that i plan on wearing and i've gained a little weight since i got it back but it wasn't THAT MUCH!!! i was horrified but went back to my mom's like 2 weeks ago to try it on again and it fit so i'm good ha just have to maintain it for another 20 days and we'll be good!

glad you were able to get yours figured out, it's not a settling feeling when it won't fit ha

I hadn't tried my dress on until a couple months after buying it. I had gained about 3lb but I knew there was no way it would be a problem. Imagine my complete horror when I put everything on (strapless bra included) and it wouldn't snap!! I almost DIED. I know I cried. Then my mom had me take off the bra..BOOM fits just fine

I have my second fitting tomorrow and will be looking for any back fat!

I'm really sensitive lately about my upper arms, chest and upper back. It seems I'm all soft and mushy there and nice and toned everyplace else. So I will be checking!!

Glad to know I'm not the only one!

The last time i went to the salon and tried on mine i saw back fat too...I am on a serious mission to lay those fat tissues to rest.

@ Aleasha - That's awesome glad you got it figured out

@ Claire - Oh my gosh I would have cried!!!! I'm glad it fit ya though and You and me both will be watching our weight my wedding's in 26 days AAAHHH!!!

@ Mrs.TurnBow2b - YAY I'm not the only one with the bra issue didn't it just feel so much better? Glad it fit

@ Rachel S. - Yes keep a look out for your back

@ Patrice - You go girl

It really did feel a lot better without it. And as long as the girls stay put, we won't have a problem

Same thing happened to me when I went to pick up my dress last month. My friend could barely zip my dress and I had a lot of back fat. Finally I said let me try taking my bra off, and it fit perfectly. I think I may be able to go without it on the day of (and then I don't have to worry about my bra showing or peeking out) but I might buy a corset bra just to be on the safe side and have an option.

Oh oh, just looked at my pics, there may be a hint of back fat in there............well now I have motivation to lose 30 lbs..........
