i don't like the way i look in my wedding dress

It's so pretty !

are there particular parts that you are insecure about?

Actually the torso portion of the dress looks a little big but I would suggest for any bride to to focus on the back if you are wearing any dress with back exposure. That is what I am doing but I think you look lovely. But careful because doing strength can actually make you gain muscle which could make it tighter. Maybe low carb for a bit but if it fits do not stress. You will look beautiful.

My main areas i normally hate is my stomach and my double chin. I wasnt wearing shape wear when I tried on the dress so I am hoping the a line dress will look better with the shape wear. But when I look at the back of this dress my rolls on my back makes me want to cry.

It is all self esteem. Once you get hair and make up done and add your hair piece if you are wearing one you will.

Thank you so much.

I think you look beautiful in your dress! I am struggle with my double chin as well but at the end of the day I am who I am, my fiance fell in love with a women with two chins and is going to marry a woman with two chins and a little extra lol! I LOVE the back of your dress!

Are you getting the dress tailored? Once it's fitted to your measurements, it'll look conpletely different. Having the right foundation garments also make a difference (bra, petticoat, etc). You say you're insecure about your back, but I don't see what you see at all! Again, getting the right bra for the see-through back will help change how you see yourself in it.


And it's such a small thing, but I noticed that I like my dress better when I have my hair down (the way I'll wear it on the day). I focus on my overall look than my insecurities. When you try it on again, mimic how you'll look on your day as best you can. ❤

No it is not altered yet but it well be altered so hopefully that helps. I had my hair up because that is how I originally planned on doing my hair, in a long braid down my back, but with the detail on the back I dont see me doing that at all. Thank you for the advice.

I love this comment I have never thought of it that way. I know my fiance loves me for me, it is just hard to see myself in his eyes. love that though. that he fell in love with the person with a double chin hell marry the person with a double chin.

Glad you liked it! I saw someone comment on a discussion asking what their biggest wedding regrets were. They said they regret all the extra things they did such as padded bras, extra makeup, shape wear etc. and that really stayed with me. I want to look like myself on my wedding day.

Ohmygoodness I think you look so GORGEOUS!!! I totally get feeling uncomfortable in your own skin, but honestly, that dress is super flattering and really accentuates your curves!

View Quoted Comment Just want to piggy back here a little bit. I’ve been frustrated because before I met my FH, I put on 20 pounds that I had hoped I’d never find again. I still want it gone, in part because some of my clothes are tight and I don’t want to buy a new wardrobe. But he constantly reassures me that he loves the way I look and that I am petite to him (he is almost a foot taller than me and broad) and beautiful with all the right curves.


I think you are beautiful in that dress and I think we as women need to stop being so hard on ourselves. That we need to let ourselves be real women. Think about all the awesome things that your body has done and continues to do for you.
I would also say that finding some nice shapewear or slip can change the entire look of your dress. An underskirt/petticoat to give your hips some more flare will make the waist look smaller in comparison.

I think you just need a few alterations and youll be good to go. Pretty dress

I think you look beautiful in that dress and the dress definitely fits your body type! I thought I would not be able to find a dress because I have put on a lot of weight since being with my FH but I found one that makes me feel beautiful.

It's your special day and already stressful so there's no reason of adding the extra stress of trying to lose weight. If you're concerned there is always shapewear to smooth out some of the edges.

My biggest concern is BLOAT. That hits me HARD.

You look beautiful! It is so easy to be hypercritical of yourself, especially when you have this vision of your wedding dancing around in your brain.

We all have areas of our body that we don't "love"- mine is my arms, ugh! I've been focusing my workouts on my arms and stomach. I plan to start a low carb diet again this week, and stay on it only until my alterations appt and then slowly work carbs back in (so I don't lose anymore prior to the wedding and then my dress doesn't fit!).

Do what you can and what you're comfortable with. Don't beat yourself up! You, truthfully, look absolutely stunning! And everyone at your wedding will feel the exact same- I'm positive your husband-to-be won't be able to take his eyes off of you!

You look beautiful in your dress!! If you still want to lose more weight you have plenty of time. How long have you plateaued for? The first thing two things I typically take a look at if that happens is if you're getting in enough water and sleep. Are you drinking at least 64 oz of water a day and sleeping 7+ hours?
