Frequently Asked Question: It's a week before the wedding and my dress is too tight. What can I do?
First of all, relax! I know it's stressful thinking that your wedding dress doesn't fit and you will look like a stuffed sausage on your big day. That's the last thing you want and with such little time before the wedding you are worried there is nothing you can do other than postpone the wedding or just look fat. Stop worrying right now!
There are at least three things you can do to fit in your dress by your wedding day, guaranteed..
- Seamstress: See a seamstress ASAP! Most will be able to let the dress out just a little bit so that it fits better. You will want to call a professional seamstress who can work with your time limitations. Most of the seamstresses who work with the boutique where you bought your dress will have their hands tied. Get recommendations from friends and family members and visit a seamstress immediately. There are many Canadian seamstresses who can help you on short notice. This could completely solve the problem!
- Girdle: A girdle can do a lot for you when it comes to fitting in your wedding dress. You 'll find them at bridal gown accessories stores. They can make you up to a size smaller so it's worth a try. They may not be the most comfortable garments, but they will make you look skinny in your wedding dress!
- Diet and Exercise: You can actually easily lose five pounds in a week with diet and exercise. You must be strict and really follow the diet while eating healthy and getting exercise. However, you can drop some of the extra pounds that will help your wedding dress fit better. Try a no-carb diet that offers quick weight loss! Just make sure you don't starve yourself or you may get sick.
These suggestions alone or in combination with one another will help your wedding dress fit perfectly on your big day. If your dress is more than one size too small, then you need to find another dress!

Using a corset to cinch in the bride who is just 1 size too big for her gown has also worked for me. I am talking about the lace up in the back and hooks in the front type of corset. I think you can purchase these from Fredericks of Hollywood .
Carbs are under three subtitles: Simple Carbs (any type of fruit), Fibrous Carbs (any type of vegetable), and Starchy Carbs (rice, pasta, potato, beans).
I would like to recommend to you ladies that you actually eat more; but less. If you cut the portion of food on your plate, but eat four or five times a day, you actually boost your metabolism so that you burn your fat even in your sleep. Carbohydrates are actually what gives your body the energy that it needs to go throughout the day.
Also, a handy tip to know, if you drink a tall glass of water 15-30 minutes before every meal, your food portions will be lessened because you will become full faster. Your body is mostly made of water, and you should have water all throughout the day. This also cleanses the body of toxins that your body carries. Water is a must for a healthy body.
An interesting thought: you burn more calories chewing a piece of celery than you actually get from the celery. Vegetables give you most of the nutrients that you need, but take hardly any calories to burn off.
Eat protein at every meal. Whether it's a protein shake, eggs, fish, or any other source of protein... the fact is that protein takes longer to digest, so it will help the release of the energy in your carbohydrates slower and more even, giving you a longer bout of energy.
Of course, in order to lose weight, you need to exercise. walking on a treadmill while you're going over your checklists, or doing some cardio/yoga/palates combination when you wake up in the morning, will actually help you to not only lose weight, but get you energized for the day.
In order to feel your healthiest, most stress relieved, and look your most beautiful for your wedding day, make sure that you: eat properly, drink plenty of water, exercise, and sleep lots.
