I have been worried about my dress still fitting in 6months since the wedding got postponed. My dress was fully altered and I either need to maintain my weight or not gain more. Luckily I have the phone number for the alterations lady who worked on my dress. We hit it off in the store and she lives really close by to me (the bridal shop is a 35-40min drive for both of us).
I texted her this week so she could save my number. I told her I was worried about my dress and what if it doesn’t fit and what if I gain weight, is there room to let the dress out?? She reassured me that in September we will reevaluate and whatever needs to be done she will take care of it. Also I can come to her house for alterations instead of going through the store (which will be cheaper pricing). She made me feel a lot better.
My thought process on my weight: we are trying to elope in June which Im buying a different informal dress that is very form fitting. I am trying to still lose weight since I have more time and would like the new dress to look nice. The problem for my formal wedding dress is my hips/thighs area, when I workout I gain muscle there first. I even went a size up on the dress when I first ordered it because I was worried about it and good thing I did. There was no space in my dress at all in my hips and thighs.
Also we had wanted to get pregnant right away after our “April wedding “ that didnt happen. We really don’t want to wait anymore so its a possibility i might be pregnant when we have our big ceremony & reception.
For those that are postponing, whats your backup plan if your dress doesn’t fit?
