I picked up my wedding dress last week. The day I picked it up I tried it on at the shop and at my house later that night. Everything looked and fit great. I try it on today, since I happened to get home before Rich, and I felt like I was swimming in my dress. I’ve lost noticeable weight these past few days, and not on purpose. I haven’t ate any differently or had a drastic lifestyle change, but my wedding dress is now too big for me. Mainly through my hips, thighs and knees. I’m finding all this out 3 days before my wedding. I’m usually all for losing weight, but not when I need to fit into a mermaid style wedding gown 
I’ve spent the last 30 minutes frantically calling around to see if it was possible to get my dress taken in by Friday evening. Of course I was shot down by several tailors who need more than two days to work their magic. I decided to call Ann, and bring my dress back tomorrow morning. Hopefully we can get the dress fixed in time. I’m freaking out! All this time I was worrying about being too large for my dress, and it turns out the stress has caused me to be way too small for it.
So lesson learned for those with a mermaid wedding gown, wait until the few days before the wedding for the last fitting. Sigh..
I’m glad you were able to find someone to fit you for your dress that close to the wedding. Good thing you tried it on again before your wedding day.

It is so funny that you are talking about a mermaid style dress which is just like mine. I am having a similar problem with my dress i purchased it too small with the intent to loose weight and i did to find out on the day of my fitting that the seams of the dress could be taken out. wow good time to tell me when i starved for 90 days. i hope everything works out for you
