I'm disappointed in myself

Futuremrs, on June 30, 2019 at 11:38 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 15
I bought a dress in February that I knew was too small, but I had plenty of time to lose the weight and fit the dress. (It was too great a deal to pass up) Unfortunately, I did not use the time I had and when I tried my dress on yesterday, I'm sunk. I'm going to a seamstress tomorrow to see if there is anything she can do in the next two weeks, but I'm not holding my breath. I started looking on amazon today to see what I can get this week with prime. Nothing is as good as the dress I already have. It's completely my fault. I made decisions that kept me where I am. I'm just so disappointed with myself. I knew I could do it, but stress and caring for my mom, who had 3 surgeries in 7 weeks, and caring for my fsd (who is regressing and acting like she's 4, not almost 9) and planning a wedding on my own, plus coming off my psychiatric meds so we can try for a baby this fall, all brought me down and I didn't exercise like I should have. My eating is ok, lots of protein and vegs, but my alcohol intake is higher than I should have.

I'm just venting. I kind of want to cry. A lot. I'll see what the seamstress says and probably order the 2 dresses I found on amazon, just in case.

    Ok so take a deep breath. David’s bridal has tons of beautiful dresses online that you can order and ship ASAP and then take to them for alterations. I know it’s quick but if you hurry and order a few dresses and go right away to DB they will have two weeks. Don’t worry....it will all work out. Just order something today. Good luck.

    Smiley sad Sorry that you are feeling this way.. you have A LOT going on right now, it is really understandable that you may have not felt like making the dress a priority. Have been there. There is so much to look forward to even if things did not work out the way you imagined. It is good that you have a Plan B so to speak.. seamstresses can work a lot of magic but if there is nothing she can do, you have something else. What do the dresses look like?

    It already has a corset back. I need extra material and a longer ribbon. Thanks for your condolences. I appreciate it. It'll be ok and no matter what I wear, even if it's a paper bag, my FH will love it because I'm wearing it. I just had an image of what I'd look like.

    The first is the dress I have (I got it for $275 down from $1300 new with tags, couldn't pass it up). The second is my first choice of the amazon dresses. The last is my second choice from amazon. (I hope they aren't blurry. I can never tell when I'm posting pics here)

    Thank you. I know I could show up in a paper bag and my FH would love me anyway. I do want to be beautiful on my wedding day. At 41, I only get one. Lol

    They are all amazing dresses. I hope everything works out. I was told they could go up 2 sizes.

    Please don’t be disappointed in yourself - you were shouldering so much! Either of the new dresses is pretty. I’m not sure if this will help but I started using a protein shake for my health actually; and ended losing about 15 inches overall. If you’re interested, PM me and I’ll give you the name of it. Best of luck! You’re going to be beautiful no matter what you wear.

    You are 100% going to be okay. Amazon and David’s Bridal have beautiful options though I understand your disappointment. I think it’s most important not to be so hard on yourself. You’re the bride- you’re going to shine no matter what! And coming off meds is no joke (been there for other reasons than baby) and you gotta be gentle with you. Good luck and I hope it turns out perfectly.
