Thanks

Thanks for all your replies about the tailor.

I agree...she is completely incompetent and has no idea about customer service.

The trouble is, in Britain people can get away with it, because no one complains - at least not to anyone's face.

People are too embarrassed to say anything.

Anyway...I would take my business elsewhere, but the bride is wanting to stick with her so I don't have much choice.

I did speak to another of the bridesmaids last night, and apparently she also has major issues with her dress, so we are going to think up a specific list of things we want changed, and the last appointment (a few days before the wedding) we are going to speak to the tailor about it.

Because really, how can I spend the whole day in a dress that doesn't fasten, that is all flappy on my boobs and that I am worried is going to fall down?

Well, I can if I have to, but I am dreading it.

Even if those issues are all sorted, the dress is still extremely unflattering...but at least people will be looking at the bride, not at me!

Anyway, healthy eating and exercise is going well, but I am still not losing any weight.

That is about all...I don't have much to say today for a change.

Thanks!

Thanks for the advice!! You basically slapped me in the face with the HELLO IDIOT GET RID OF IT..lol. I needed that. My head says.. throw them out, my tummy says.......please please please. Anyhow, I had my friends take them for me and get rid of them. I told her to pick a random trash can so I can't dig through the trash for them..hahaa... I'm seriously kidding about that one! Ew.. but thanks!

Hey.. about your dress.. I would definatly say something, because as much as you THINK the people only look at the bride, they measure up her bridesmaids and the dresses and all that fun stuff too! I was in a wedding that our dresses ended up being basically see through and EVERYONE said something to us. You DO NOT want to be uncomfortable all day, plus have to deal with the whole pictures thing and worrying what you are going to look like in them.. believe me, been there, done that. It was a REALLY bad day. To this day, I still wish I had just spoken up and said HEY THESE ARE UGLY, SEE THROUGH, AND IT DOESN'T FIT ME RIGHT! Me and my friend (the one that got married) laugh about it to this day. She always says....." Why didn't you just say something!?!?!?? " I just really didn't want to ruin her day, but it ended up that the mood of the bridesmaids were so BLAH I HATE THIS.. it really did damper her day. Think about it!

By the way, awesome job with the weight loss! You are going to look fab for the wedding!

Rach...Thanks you for stopping by and dropping me a note

I just wanted to stop by and say thanks you for your words, I needed them, I am now taking small steps to treating myself as #1....it will take time...but I am worth it  I am tired of not wanting to be here in my life..so here we go...

You have done great on your weight lose so far... just keep at it..the pounds will start to move once again.

Good Luck with your dress for the wedding...

Thanks

Again
