We just got married in an intimate ceremony in a different part of the country. Very small just family. We loved it. We are back home now and having a big evening reception in our home town. I'd love to wear my wedding dress for this but its so tight. I was thinner when I had it (probably too slim) . Lower end on bmi scale. I didn't live with my partner then and used to have kiddies size portions or finish the kids left overs. No reason why I just did. And that's when I bought my dress. Moved in with him. Eating more normal sized portions and put little bit of weight on. Went for dress fitting and they ended up having to let it out!!! It's fitted but very tight!!
I'm wondering what shapewear would be best to hide back fat. It's a strapless mermaid dress.
My neighbour is going to make the hook and eye clip a bit sturdier which should help.
Is spanx any good and does anything actually work or is it just a con???
Any advice would be greatly received.
