Help!! My dress is way tight 😭

Hello lovelies!!

Today I finally paid off my dress and I had my first dress fitting appointment with my seamstress. I was so excited and ready to see my dress on again, I hadn’t had it on since September. That quickly turned to heartbreak because while we were at the alterations place we could NOT get it fastened. Half of the back is zipper with buttons but the top half is just buttons. The zipper part was fine but the top buttons were not. I took it back to the dress store to have them help me with it because they had seen me try it on the first time. They did get it fastened but oh my gosh it is so tight. I really had thought that I had kept the weight off but I guess I haven’t

I need some advice and. tips to lose some inches on my tummy and chest area. That’s where the dress is the tightest. I am running a half marathon May 4th and the wedding is June 1st. My next alterations appointment is May 9th after the marathon is done.
Thank you all so much!!!

I recommend you continue your running workouts. No more processed foods. Eat plenty of veggies! Drink plenty of water.

Why don’t you just have the dress taken out?

It’s reaallly hard to take out some dresses. My seamstress said she could only take it out half a size without completely taking it apart.

Since you’re running a half marathon, I’m going to go ahead and assume that you’re in pretty good shape as is. Maybe you’ve been putting on muscle which is why your dress isn’t fitting the same. Some workouts will give you bulkier muscles, while others will give you leaner muscles. Running is great, and long distance doesn’t usually bulk you up. Maybe try something like yoga which will help with stretching and creating those strong but lean muscles. If all else fails, most dresses have some room to be let out, so I wouldn’t panic yet! Good luck!

Lower your calories and adjust your macros. Stick to it and continue to do your running and I’m sure you’ll be fine.
Im worried about the part of my dress around my ribs not fitting. I’ve got a 50’s severe hourglass shape and I remember trying it on that the very top 3 buttons didn’t button but they had to put a clip on the center of my waist and the hips fit perfect.
And my dress won’t be able to be let out so I’m a lil stressed about it but hopefully it’ll be fine.

In addition to what PP said about watching your caloric intake and running, add in some green tea to your diet! Drinking a couple of cups of green tea works really well in conjunction with working out and eating right.
