Help I have back fat!

Posted in Wedding Attire 81

Ok so the title it a bit more dramatic than needed, BUT I am paranoid and don't feel great about this. The dress was taken in about 5" and I haven't gained weight since my first fitting. When I asked the women about this she said it needed to be tight to stay up. What do y'all think? How terrible...

    Not sure if you're just fishing for compliments or what...but yeah, someone just needs to run a finger between your skin and your dress. From the back it looks lovely!

    That is funny....I don't think you know what back fat is.

    But what you are showing us IS NOT back fat. You look great. you want it tight up top she is right.

    You look amazing...no back fat spotted. Keep hitting the gym like you've clearly been doing, because there's serious definition there!

    Thanks y'all!

    @EM No, not fishing for compliments at all! Genuinely concerned about paying so much for something and not feeling my best in it.

    Just looking for honest feedback which I appreciate greatly!!!

    Thanks for the tape advice! For sure trying that!!! And we tried the smoothing thing too. it helped for a few minutes haha.

    Between that and taping I think the combo may do the trick though!

    You don't have back fat, the dress isn't fitted properly. You need it altered.

    You definitely do NOT have back fat. It looks like you have a very toned back!

    If you have back fat, then I'm a blimp.

    I wouldn't have even noticed that line except you pointed it out. You look stunning, and definitely not fat.

    Lol I love that meme! Thanks ya'll. I am feel much better!

    @JessieJV, you think there is anything they could do? My seamstress where I had my final fitting refused (politely) saying that is how it was to fit. I could try to get it somewhere quick though.

    I totally understand this issue. I had it too (in my head) and my solution was get some extensions to cover my back more

    My seamstress also told me something similar, basically it has to be tight to stay up and no matter how thick or thin you are, skin is going to behave like skin lol

    This same thing happened to me! The seamstress told me it was normal because the bodice needs to be tight enough to stay up without me needing to lift it constantly (my dress is also strapless). Weird but nothing to worry about as it's totally not that noticeable- and is important for making the dress stationary!
