Help - 19 days to go and im having a confidence crisis

Hi girls,

I went for my last fitting for my dress on Saturday and though th dress feels and looks fab, whenever I look in a mirror im worried my tummy looks fat. It isnt dead flat but it isnt huge either and because of the corset finishing just above it doesnt flatten me.

When I said about it to the dressmaker she said I think thats you, I couldnt help but go defensive. She has moved one of the creases in the fabric so it doesnt split isnt a certain place when I move and bend as I felt it drew attention, but now my belly is losing me sleep.

I dont want to wear control pants, it took me long enough to find the right pair I liked. Was thinking maybe a waspie is the right thing. HELP!

Im probably being stupid, my flowers will cover my tummy anyway and its so slight but I cant help feeling like its not 100% correct. Worried now

First of all you will not even think about this on the day, you wil be far too happy.

Also, 19 days is a reasonable amount of time, have you got a excerise ball? They are about £10 from a sport shop. Get one and do sit ups every night, you will see a good difference if you make the effort and it will make you feel better.

No way you will notice a difference in 19 days unless you starve yourself as well. I would bite the bullet and wear control pants if I were you.

Just cut out foods that can bloat that area like breads etc for the next 19 days then invest in a geats pair of control pants.. Ive got a pair and they take off over an inch in that lower tummy area x

I agree with all the comments above - you will notice a difference in 19 days, but also cutting out bread and potatoes could help. You could always take the control pants off at the end of the night before your husband sees them!

Thanks girls, all good advice. Ive been particularly bad with bread lately and definately need to lay off it up to the wedding. I think I will use my exercise ball as it helps with my posture, it can only help.

I was thinking of a waspie instead of control pants as they are sexy but still control. Have a look here - http://www.myla.com/collections/spring-collection/meredith#image

Its not cheap but I have a £50 credit voucher with them anyway. What do you think?

Thanks v much girls

To be honest Fillyfod, I can't say I'm overwhelmed by the lingerie and I don't see how it will give any control?
Maybe a pair of lace control briefs that are a bit sexier but still flatten the tummy? And as weenireeni said, you can take them off before your husband sees them

ok, 2 things to remember
1 the wedding day is long. you move about a lot standing, siting, dancing etc you need to be comfortable
2 photos they record this day forever, you will look right at this problem area so you need to fix it.

I would recomend a pair of control pants that are comfortable. Dont worry about how they look - just go for they ones that work and feel the best.

Then get a nice pair of pants for a quick change before you leave your venue. You will feel better in fresh pair anyway.

on the day you really wont give it a thought, try not to hold you flowers infront of your dress, they are better held slightly at the side for photos - elongates the body or something....
