Weight gain before son's wedding, unsure about expensive velvet jumpsuit

6 replies

Help! I have bought a very expensive velvet jumpsuit for my son's wedding. Bought months ago, I've piled on the weight and now I look like a purple whale. Don't know what to do and can't afford to buy anything else
Thanks

Sell it and buy something else? Velvet sounds uncomfortable when is the wedding?

The wedding obviously isn't for a while because you wouldn't wear velvet in summer. Can you lose enough weight that it doesn't look bad? Or isn't their time?

Quite honestly, the only people who can pull off jump suits are size eight and smaller, very few people look good in them.

The jumpsuit sounds lovely, cut yourself some slack and enjoy the day. Who cares if you've got a little more to cuddle at the moment!

We always judge ourselves more harshly than others do. No one is going to a wedding to pick apart other people!

I think jumpsuits do favour the more slender . If you do not think you woll feel good in it then u need to find a way to get something different. U do not want to feel self conscious.

Can you borrow something from a friend? Or sell on vinted.
Velvet is unforgiving

When's the wedding as velvet suggests a winter one? Im which case you have time to loose some weight if you would like to?
This is a very special day you want something you feel comfy in, and so you can celebrate and enjoy the photos

Sell it and rent something? Lots of companies do ”high end” rentals now.
