to breathe in all night??? or not sit down.....

[holidaysarenice]

I have theeeee most gorgeous green dress for friday night! Just tried it on...and its bloody tight. It only tight in the silk band that sits under the boobs/top of the stomach.

Any suggestions on stretching the band? Or do i just breathe in all night, and maybe not sit down?

Have you got any of those control pants? (I was going to type suck-'em-in pants before I remembered what they were actually called...) They're normally tight enough to reduce your tummy just enough to get away with tight dresses.

Get thee some Spanx

lol i have my spanx but its more right under my boobs! like the rib cage bit??

any ways to stretch the silk?

dont eat any carbs from today onwards..

thanks squeaky im on that trick too!! and definitely no fizzy drinks! im hoping in the morning it might be easier.....

currently wearing the dress to see if it gives any

You can get bras that have a hook-and-eye band expanding down midway between your boobs and your belly button, they might give you a bit of a smoother line? I got one in Debenhams recently so don't think they're very unusual?
