You survived hours of scrolling through Instagram in search of the perfect wedding gown, as well as endless fittings and dress alterations. The day has finally arrived. After hours of perfecting your hair and makeup, it's finally time to gather your girls and put the dress on. Like most brides-to-be, you've probably played this scene in your head over and over. You've seen the dress on, your bridesmaids helping you zip it up, and your train being pulled out from underneath your gown. And the most crucial part? Visualise how great you look and feel in it.
Your bridesmaids assist you as you prepare to put on your gown, and then it doesn't fit. Your perfect day is shattered in an instant. But don't be frightened. The experts are here to assist you! See what bridal experts recommend if your dress doesn't fit on your wedding day, whether it's because of sudden weight reduction or because bodies do their own thing and bloat.
What to do if your dress is too tight?
First and foremost, do not panic! Take a deep breath and remember that all gowns require two individuals to assist in getting into the gown. Second, pull up the dress so that the waist is at your belt line. The two individuals you choose to assist you in getting into the dress should be at your front and back.
This is where following the steps becomes critical.
- Person, one keeps your gown in position, while person two looks for the small hook and eye at the top of the zipper and hooks them together.
- Person one then holds your gown at the waist and pushes all the fabric towards the back, giving person two as much room as possible to zip the dress up. While person one is doing this, take a deep breath and release all your air, deflating your rib cage.
Alternate tip
If you aren't currently wearing it, try slipping on some shapewear. This will make it easier to put on the dress. You might also try removing the paddings of your bra. This will relax your bust area.
What if the dress is too big?
Remember not to panic if the dress is too big and does not fit your body properly. If your chest is too large, our experts suggest adding some bra cups to fill out the bust area. You can also get a lovely sash to cinch your waist if it's too big in the midsection.
So, why doesn’t the dress fit?
Because of bloating and water retention, these things happen a lot more than you realise. You can't really control these things, so don't be too hard on yourself if your body decides to rebel on your wedding day. Changing your fitness programme may also lead to the clothing being too small. Adding squats to your routine two weeks before your wedding may alter your hip and thigh form, which will be a problem if you are wearing a mermaid or fit and flare style. A new workout might also cause muscle mass changes, resulting in the dress becoming too big.
Before you get too far into fittings and alterations, if you believe your measurements will change for any reason, ask your fitter at your initial fitting appointment about changing the zipper for a corset back.
