Feeling terrible about my body in my dress! Wedding is in 6 days.

I'm stressing! I absolutely hate how I feel in my dress. When I bought the dress I was 30 lbs heavier, after much diet and exercise, I was finally ready to do my fittings. My dress needed to be taken in massive inches everywhere. 65 pins total. Now that it fits, I can't wear any kind of undergarment or shaper. You can see any line, bone or seem through the lace. The lady had to sew in cups into the dress just so I didn't feel so naked. However, now I feel like all you notice us my belly! Like the first thing you see isn't me in the dres, it's my belly in the dress. I have bought about 7 different shapers and none work. I'm so depressed, and I feel terrible. I bought a second dress for the reception, which I love and feel great in. I wish I went for an Aline dress, since so bottom heavy. Instead I have this super fitted dress, I look like a fat white beyonce. Ugh help!

Seriously? Id love to look like that in a wedding dress! I think you need to give yourself a bit of credit and accept your body how it is before you end up anorexic! You are very slender and you look amazing in that dress!

I think u look great! We are own worst critics! Maybe not wear the belt- because its defining it more and may make u feel better without it?

GIRL BYE!!! You look great!! I didn't even notice the "stomach area" until you pointed it out. And I STILL don't see a stomach poking out!

You have a shape most women would die for. Don't be so hard on yourself. Give credit where credit is due and you deserve credit for losing those pounds.

I think you look BEAUTIFUL in your dress! Howver, you also have to feel that way. Have you ever tried control top stockings or stocking shapers? Get some that are flesh toned and cut the feet out. They will shape you without the added bulk of the material.

From the pics you cant even tell if you have a little stomach You look absolutely breath taking. Every girl has a little belly its just natural. If you didnt you would be anorexic

I hope you can get over your feeling of not feeling awesome in your dress. I concur with everyone else its gorgeous and I do not see any stomach roll just a very beautiful figure. maybe try it without the belt?

Why are the spanx and things you bought and tried not working? Why don't they work? Is the dress too tight now? IDK the issue with the spanx but try and find something more lightweight that just smooths you out? Kinda like a spandex slip? I wear camisoles all the time to do this under tops.

I hope you feel absolutely gorgeous on your wedding day !

Hi sweetie....why don't you see if you can hold a faux bouquet in front of you and see how you feel then. I doubt you'll even be thinking about it on your wedding day. Trust that we see a pretty stinking lovely bride!
