7 weeks to get into this dress…is it possible?

[Popsicales]

Due to be a bridesmaid in 7 weeks. The picture shows what the dress looks like currently. That’s breathing out! If I breathe in and straighten up, the zip meets but doesn’t zip up because the fabric of the waist band is thicker.

Just looking for opinions on whether I can get this to zip up in 7 weeks?!

This dress is a size 16. I have piled on the weight but if I’m disciplined, I usually lose it quickly.

Actually I’ve lost 6lb!

Placemarking because I’m curious to see how much difference 6 pounds has made.

Well done @Popsicales that is good going

Update! I’ve managed to get the dress to zip up. I’m still going to continue with the weight loss so it’s more comfortable.

Hooray, well done! First time I’m seeing this thread but I would have said from the first pic that it was doable. Great work especially considering you’ve also been on holiday
