Last minute weight loss - what if my dress is too big?

    Bees, I have a dilemma. My last fitting was a good 2 months before the wedding. I'm now about 3 weeks out and I've been losing weight (not in a good way - from all the stress!) I'm nervous now that my dress will be too big - its a strapless, so if its not nicely contoured to my body I'm worried it will slide down or that the girls will be exposed!

    So what is a girl to do? The shop where I got my dress is 3 hours away, so its not realistic to go back there. I'm out of town this weekend for a friend's wedding, then I have to leave for my wedding a week later (its 3,000 miles away in my hometown.) Do I leave it be and hope for the best? Try to find a seamstress here that can help me in just a week's time? Try to find a seamstress out at my wedding destination? (That is not desirable because I'm in a rural area with no high-end dress shops or anything of the like.

    Ideas??!?! I'm freaking out!

    I would try it on and if you need it to be taken in, find a seamstress now!

    Try on your dress.  Is it too big?  If so, find a seamstress ASAP.

    I think you need to resign yourself to making that 3 hour drive - for your sanity's sake. You have to pick up your dress at some point, might as well do it now so if you need alterations, you can get them done.
