Help! My dress is tight!

Hey friends!

So I just did my final fitting and took home my dress. The wedding is 16 days away. It is a wee bit tight around the chest area. It fits, I can breathe, but I would like to be able to breathe more... Hahahaha. Any brides experience this? I mean the stress eating is REAL. Anyways, I won't make excuses... Any tips or strategies to shed a few pounds in 2 weeks?!?!? I just want to be a little bit more comfortable and not worry about not having full range of motion the day of. Def lots of water and low salt to lower the bloat. Any last minute advice is welcome!! Thanks

    It’s all about calorie count! Snack on veggies and skip the dip and try and stay around 1200 calories a day

    Can you go back to your alterations person? I know mine had said to bring it back the week of the wedding if I wanted any final tweaks.

    I presume you're not wearing your bra with it.


    I'd take it back to the tailor.
    I'd also do veggies, lean proteins, and no carbs. Being in ketosis will burn fat fast

    Lower the amount of carbs you eat in the next 2 weeks

    I second the recommendation to go back to the seamstress. Even if you do lose some weight, it doesn't necessarily mean you will lose it where you want to. For instance, one of the places I noticed I lose weight in first is my feet 🤷‍♀️. Lowering salt and upping water is great for decreasing bloat, but it isn't a guarantee that you will lose any inches in your chest area specifically in these 2 weeks.

    Thank you! I just brought the dress home last night and the seemstress is not near me. I probably should of spoken up earlier if I wanted it let out but it honestly isn't so bad that I think it needs to be let out.
