I had a pricey dress that continuously had to be taken in until the week of the wedding - not a problem at all.<br /><br />In situations like these, I try to think - what is the absolute, worst case scenario. What is it... it is that you gain weight and dresses are very difficult to take out. That being said, you should continue to work out and you should continue to try to lose as much weight as you want. Your dress can be taken in if need be, and that way you don't need to worry about gaining weight.<br /><br />Congrats!

Love you where you are at right now and look good doing it in the perfect dress. 5 months later you can go all gung ho to lose the weight. Just be thoughtful of what you are eating...don't gain weight, but don't stress about that 20 lbs. I bet you will just glow on your special day. :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05440632162084471888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1450707159759921378.post-9181779844569852242010-03-25T21:35:26.269-07:002010-03-25T21:35:26.269-07:00I can totally relate to everything you said here! ...I can totally relate to everything you said here!

It really does looke like it was made for you. <br /><br />I say start with trying to lose five pounds and then try the dress on. If it still fits nice enough, go for another five. Just be careful, because I agree with Alexis, 10 pounds might be much for your height.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11785387670667198873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1450707159759921378.post-77868142345706943112010-03-25T08:47:36.760-07:002010-03-25T08:47:36.760-07:00The dress will still look good after 10 lbs.
