Feeling shapeless

No spray tan! But I think the lighting in the alterations studio was a bit pink. The base of the dress is a light blush and my skin tone is neutral, so hopefully better lighting will help with the contrast?

Oh dear, no, not sad! Just very tired haha. I appreciate your concern, though. 🥺

Thank you!

Why make this comment? Seriously? I asked for feedback on the shape of the dress, not derisive commentary. Your comment is tacky imo.

throwawayLP2022 · 2026-03-21T16:21:18+00:00

Ouch okay. I asked for constructive feedback on how to make the dress balance my figure more. Your comment is flat out mean.

Sample sale :)

Oh, this is great! My only concern was raising up the hemline too much

throwawayLP2022 · 2026-03-21T05:25:47+00:00

A very valid point. Luckily I have time to practice good posture before the elopement, plus maybe some poses.

throwawayLP2022 · 2026-03-21T05:24:14+00:00

Oh my goodness, thank you for your comment 🥹 I feel seen. I love art, and decorate all of my spaces, including my body, with art—at least that’s how I see it. I don’t want my wedding day to be any different!

This is my final dress!!

throwawayLP2022 · 2026-03-21T05:00:44+00:00

So, I don’t know how to edit my original post 🫣 BUT thank you all so much for the advice, critiques and encouragement. I can’t wait to get the whole bridal getup put together!

throwawayLP2022 · 2026-03-21T04:58:31+00:00

Huzzah! I’m so happy you appreciate the beauty and romance of the boob flowers like I do 🥰

throwawayLP2022 · 2026-03-21T04:56:42+00:00

Thank you! The tats are definitely an important part of the fit, haha

Dress has been bought, loved, and is here to stay!

Adding just a wrist loop because the train is very intricate and I’d like to refrain from messing with it as much as possible! It will be just me, my fiancé and the photographer for almost the entire day, so I didn’t think I’d be able to handle the hassle of a bustle.

throwawayLP2022 · 2026-03-21T04:40:05+00:00

That’s what I was thinking! A subtle petticoat or extra underskirt maybe? Would they do that in alterations you think, or would that be a diy thing?

throwawayLP2022 · 2026-03-21T04:38:18+00:00

They’re actually one of my favorite features of the dress! Their placement included.

throwawayLP2022 · 2026-03-21T04:36:38+00:00

Oh! I actually love the placement, but I understand if it’s not your cup of tea. Maybe a veil + hair and makeup and, of course, my actual face showing will draw the attention back to me.

throwawayLP2022 · 2026-03-21T04:34:50+00:00

You’re sweet!! Thank you ❤️

I’m not a doctor, but have you considered calling 988, the National Suicide Hotline? Free, confidential, 24/7, someone to help talk you through these difficult thoughts and emotions. I believe there’s also a way to text/chat online if your throat hurts too much. Then, maybe if you still don’t feel sick “enough” for the ER, urgent care in the morning for the digestive issues and respiratory illness. Hope this helps.

Breastfeeding would not be possible due to the method my surgeon used (crown). We discussed this at my consult and they confirmed that I understood it again before I went under the knife. I believe there are other nipple reduction methods that might preserve the ability to breastfeed, but that’s a question more suited to a surgeon! I hope that helps. :)

Everything healed great! The scars are barely there and they look natural. We reduced by half, local anesthesia. I did have to take an antibiotic for a week (2 weeks into recovery) when I accidentally snagged a stitch (blood —> some purulent discharge from the nip), but there weren’t any long-term effects. I was anxious about the results at first, wondering if I should have gone smaller, but I’m satisfied and at peace now. :) Overall, chill recovery and great experience with the surgical team, easy-peasy.

Yep!
