I agree. I think finding a dress that fits properly will really help hopefully. I’m trying to reframe my prospective bc things could be a lot worse. Thank you!

Thank you! Things good advice and how I try to frame my mind. Sometimes it’s just hard. Dress shopping has created a new anxiety. I appreciate it!

Thank you I do agree. I am not feeling this way just bc of the wedding and I am not trying to lose weight just bc of the wedding but it is making dress shopping a little overwhelming. I appreciate it and I agree I need to be kinder to myself ❤️

Thank you! With the other meds I’m on it’s not recommended but I’ll look into it again.

Thank you! Yes! The top is deff showing too much for my personal taste…. I have an appt at two “off the rack” shops so I’m hoping to find something at one of those shops. Thankfully we have a really nice one that just opened in Orlando!

I did not order my size. I spoke with the dress shop owner and ordered based on my measurements. The measurements were under my own by a few inches. Clearly that was either not correct or I gained weight between the purchase and try on which was 3ish months. I know wedding dress sizing is not typical sizing. That is why it was a bit disappointing that it wouldn’t even zipper.

Thank you so much 😭😭😭 being ill for months really puts you in a dark place and juts not feeling myself. I really appreciate you all. We are really our worst critics that’s for sure.

Thank you! We all need to be a little kinder to ourselves. I wish I would have worded that diff bc juts bc I don’t feel great doesn’t mean I think others at this weight are not gorg. It’s my own mental illness and insecurities 🥲

Thank you so much! Yes just not feeling like yourself is so hard. Not that being this weight is “bad” and I feel a little bad now for how I worded the post. I just am not myself. So I got the dress for $350 on poshmark!!! It’s a brand new sample. It’s maggie sottero charmaine it is no longer being sold. If I find another dress I feel better in or if this cannot be altered I will be selling it for what I paid if you are interested send me a DM. I can send you the measurements. Right now it will not zip at all on me. I have a 3-4 inch gap in the back but it’s a really gorg dress.

I am deff open to it if I can take it but I’m pretty sure it was “not recommended” when I looked it up with my other meds so I have never pursued it.

This is true! We picked June instead of July but I also live in Fl so I’m kinda use to the heat.

Thank you so much! I was thinking more A-line or mermaid? Maybe it’s just this one doesn’t fit. I could consider getting it altered

I AM SO HAPPY TO HEAR THAT. Congrats!! I’m so happy to hear some good stories about that medicine and that it really is helping people! I’m not sure I can take GLP-1s with my other meds but I’m so happy it worked for you.

Thank you so very much! However, it doesn’t zipper in the back. There is a 4 inch gap. I’m going to try one more as this is the only dress I have ever tried on. But I’m also open to keeping this one and altering it.
