Loved my dress at first. Now I think it's too snug and the zipper is weird. Wedding in 2.5 months.

I tried in vain to take a good picture of it on me in my house to show the zipper problem but it's not coming out due to the lighting in my house.

I loved this dress when I first tried it on. I looked so hourglassy and hot. I don't know ifI gained wait or what. I still look hourglassy and hot but I think the dress is too small for me. I don't know if I gained weight or just didn't notice it but it highlights every ounce of fat on me and I feel like I constantly have to suck in. I guess I can try to lose 10 lbs between now and the wedding but the zipper looks weird and I don't know if it's b/c the dress is too small or what. Instead of being smooth and straight, the line of the zipper sticks out in places and looks bumpy. not smooth. I am freaking out and looking at other dresses. I want to cry. I thought I had the perfect dress.

The zipper looks smooth in the photo

    Can you switch it to a corset back? One inch equals 10 pounds.

    A seamstress may be able to let out the sides just enough for it to fit all around. I spent half a decade working at a bridal shop. It's an easy fix. The zipper would lay better too. Buttons wouldn't do anything to solve the problem. They would pull worse than the zipper and that wouldn't be flattering.

    I think the dress is beautiful.Did you try a spanx or something underneath? I got one off kohls.com for like $30 which was actually cheap for spanx brand but you could really get any brand..made a huge difference in smoothing me out

    eta:yea i dont think corset back would look good im not a fan either though of them

    I second trying spanx. Since your dress isn't back less and has straps you can do a full body suit

    That dress is beautiful, definitely talk to a seamstress about letting it out some and Spanx work wonders.
