Thanks again for the replies. I want all the little things that I have planned and organised, I'm just so sick of wedding planning all together!
I think its a culmination of stress, trying to lose weight and work that is doing it.
I know how you feel. I am loving planning the wedding but it takes so much TIME!!!!! And I'm also trying to lose weight, so finding time to exercise is very hard!! AND work is a nightmare
Glad that you had a good cry and let it all out.Well just a quick update. I still cant get into my dress and with only 3 weeks to go, I cant see me being able to fit into it by then.
Going to see a dress maker this afternoon so I will see what she says, but I'm getting really desperate now. Bought an M&S body, but that hasnt done anything, booked a wrap to see if that does anything but that might be too late!!
Ohhhh, have a hug! Is it way too small or just tight? You can do a lot in 3 weeks you know, but the dressmaker will be able to do something if not. Don't fret!!! xxx7 Feb 2012: 10st7lbs

Thanks for the words people, but I am about to put my dress onto Ebay. I cant believe after all this time I couldnt do anything with it. I have lost so much weight and tried so hard. The dress maker said they havent put any spare material in the seams for her to take out. I am going to the factory outlet in Leicester in the morning with my best friend so hopefully we will get something there. Never thought I would be looking for a new dress 3 weeks before the wedding.
Sickens me as well because my cake topper was made with me wearing that dress!!
ARGH!Married the absolute love of my life on Sunday May 6th and I couldnt be happier!!!0 -
Is it a zip up hun? The only reason I ask is that you can buy kits to make it into a lace back which would give you extra fabric.
If you don't mind me asking, how much do you need to lose to fit into it? Is it a really unachievable amount? It seems such a shame to put it on Ebay, especially as it's your dream dress.
The other option is to take your body back to M&S and switch it for a size down. I have a couple of dresses from my size 10 days which I love but at a 14 cannot get anywhere near them. I bought a full length M&S body in a 12 and I can get into them wearing that.
Hugs ((((((((((((()))))))))0 -
Hugs here too. Is a corset back or side panel not possible?
Really hope you get sorted either way hon, keep us posted xxx7 Feb 2012: 10st7lbs

Well I managed to get another dress which I love even more than my old one! Its nothing like I would have normally gone for, but I was willing to try anything on yesterday (including a gypsy wedding dress!!) and as soon as this fell into place, I fell in love with it. Its a Sophia Tolli dress not sure of the design number.
I also spoke to the woman in the shop and she said that because of the designer of my other dress, its likely that it was more than likely 2 sizes smaller than it said! No wonder I couldnt get in the bloody thing!!
SOOOO Happy!!!Married the absolute love of my life on Sunday May 6th and I couldnt be happier!!!0 -
Oh that is fab news!!!!! I'm so chuffed for you!
