Wedding got my dress in! pics

[brandy_z28]

I got my dress in on my birthday 10/17! Thank goodness my cousin could pick it up since the store was closing it's doors for good just days within getting my dress in. That was a bit scary! I wonder how they handled the orders that were placed after mine?!

I love my dress, it's about 2" too long even with 3.5" heels so I'll need to have it shortened but other than that, I love it!

I've decided that I look like a cow in it though and I printed out my free 7 day Gold's gym pass during lunch and am going to join. I have to do something...my arms are disgusting along with a few other areas but my arms are the most visible in the strapless dress. I do not want them looking like that on our wedding day!

It looks great! Love that your daughter''s dress matches. So cute.

I love the back and how your daugther''s dress compliments it without matching exactly. How stressful that must have been waiting for your dress knowing that the shop was going under!

I love your dress and I love how it goes with your daughters dress. Plus you do not look like a cow in it-you look fab!

Very pretty! Your waist looks really small!

And my birthday is also 10/17...happy b-day!

Happy late b-day!! Love the gown! Also, referencing your arms..ahhh they look like or better than mine so if yours are disgusting so are mine..sooo that''s unacceptable. I don''t think your arms are disgusting at all, guess we always look worse to ourselves than we actually look!

Thank you ladies!

I probably am being a bit critical of myself but I''m currently very disappointed in me. Back story, about 2 years ago I worked my ass off at the gym and lost 40+ lbs and did really good at keeping it off, until now. In the last 6 months I''ve managed to gain about 15-20 back.

I can surely see the difference in the pictures and it just aggravates me. Losing weight is so very hard, why am I letting myself gain it back?!?! I''m just giving myself a swift kick in the rear so to speak. Thanks for listening/reading!

Happy belated birthday jstarfireb!!!
