Sorry for the long rant...
So I bought my dress last black Friday by sheer dumb luck. It's been in my closet since then. My wedding is next Halloween, but the seamstress I would love to use books up quickly so I really should be calling her soon. I have struggled with weight and body image issues my whole life. I am VERY pear shaped and fell in love with a fit-and-flare/mermaidish dress that, when bought, would need to be let out a little at the bottom. I lost weight and tried it back on, and it was fine, needed to be taken in everywhere. Because of stress, life, my job taking over my life (hello, teaching!) I have gained the weight back. I plan on losing the weight again now that life has calmed down a little and we are in view of the finish line for this engagement. So now I find myself putting off and putting off calling her because I dont want to be told to let it out, then told to let it in, and because I worry it won't look good at all.
Any advice on how to move past this? Who to talk to, steps to take? I know I just need to buck up and do it but the struggle is really getting to me.
