    so, my dress doesn't fit, according to the seamstress it is 4 inches too small.. i bought my dress in august and it fit perfect, but when i tried it on in january it was too small, but only but a little bit... so i hit the gym and started watching what i ate(i mean this is my 25th brithday coming, maybe it's just time to mature). i tried my dress on last week, and it was too small by more than what it was in january(but it is only tight in the bust!), and i thought to myself, 'it's just that time of the month, your swollen and bloated, and moody...' but yesterday i took it to the seamstress to start my fittings, and it was even tighter! like someone had put my real denim jeans in the dryer! it was too tight and too short!! so now this weekend i'm back on the hunt... i have to find an off the shelf dress this weekend... dress hunt number two is not as exciting... ugh

    Too short?  How could it have gotten shorter?  I doubt you grew in height.

    Can you get your seamstress to put a corset back into the dress you already have?

    I second the corset back idea.  That's usually a simple fix for these types of problems.

    How could if of gotten too short?  Can you buy different shoes?  I can't imagine why its getting smaller and smaller if you've been being really healthy....?  Bodies suck sometimes.  I'm so sorry, that must be really stressful!

    Working out is awesome except when it changes your body hah - Depending on what you're doing with your workouts, you could be building muscle instead of just burning fat off. I'm sorry!

    Is it too much that spanx or a body shaper can help fix??

    I'm sorry! Good luck!

    i actually have spanx and a  bra/body shaper... i've been doing tons of cardio.. so i thought i was doing it right.. and i've been looking into a carset back,  but then it isn't the dress i fell in love with.. @jennifer @accorn ... the thing about my body is i have a ghetto booty! and when i gain weight, my butt gets bigger, and when my butt gets bigger it pulls up the bottom of whatever i'm wearing.. sadly it does it to my pants all the time.. but this weekend i do believe i'm just gonna suck it up and spend some more money on another dress. i'm sure there is one even more perfect!

    This sounds weird.  Have you gained weight?  You haven't mentioned anything about gaining weight ... so if you haven't, this may be the error of yoru seamstress.

    Since your wedding isn't till June you still have time to order on ebay.  You can have your dress custom made in China very cheap.  Mine is supposed to take 25-50 days to arrive so you should have plenty of time and they will make the gown to your measurements, just have them professionally taken before you order.

    i did the same thing - hang in there. sucks to lose money, but it's more important to feel good on the big day. at least that's what i tell myself... :) you can always sell the dress afterwards if you need cash.
