I am getting married in a week. I went a month ago to get the dress that I ordered last fall altered. I didn't know when I bought the dress that the surgery was seriously in my future.
When the dress came in - I was too big. They suggested I try to lose weight (hehe). When I went back for alterations, I warned them that I had had surgery and they set the alteration date as far out as they could. When I went back today, they told me I had lost more weight since the last alteration, and would not be able to get my dress today.

Thankfully a friend was on had to take some pics for me. Everyday in the mirror, I still see the chubby chick. Pics really wake me up!!

First Pic: Store stock dress I tried on.
Second Pic: My actual dress when it came in. (I had gained weight - they couldn't tie the corset in the back.
Third and Fourth Pics: Today.
