Well, I'm back from my dress fitting and I'm bawling my eyes out

Those ones just roll down! I've got one, and it's not long enough for my HUGELY LONG torso... =(

The dress is lovely hun!!! And slimming pants will work wonders for the tum tum!!

Or a long corset underneath but that will proberly cost more than a good pair of control pants!!

Well our budget is about £50?

I just need it to be long enough to not roll up/down and to pull me in!!

Probably gonna try this one.

As it has a long length so should work!

Gorgeous dress, but you definitely need some shapewear.

You can actually get shapewear of lots of different types in TK Maxx - I've bought lots of bits from there so check it out - they're super cheap.

From a technical point of view; the reason why your tummy looks more pronounced is the cut of the bottom of the bodice area. This could easily rectified by making the bottom of the bodice area asymmetrical instead of pointy at the middle. If it's asymmetrical, the eye is drawn to the smallest part (your waist) rather than the widest part (where the point bit is). If you wanted to ask your brother to alter the dress, this is the part that I would ask him to focus on.

The dress is amazing though, but perhaps you'd be happier if you could see yourself in other dresses too so you know what actually works for you.

Good Luck.

I can't find any spanx except on eBay and shops that don't look trusted =(

I'm probably gonna go for the Amelia. If it doesn't fit I can take it back down to Debenhams.

Update - My brother took me on the hour round trip to Lakeside shopping centre and I found a lovely swimsuit looking magic underwear set, and it pulls me in lovely and tight. My brother also told me the bottom of my dress wasn't pulled in properly, cause he couldn't lace it right as there was no zip in it (he's still sewing it back together) so the reason it looked huge at the bottom of the bodice was because it was loose, it wasn't done up haha!

I'm going over in a few days to try it on again with the underwear, and it done up properly!

Bet it will make a huge dif with the underwear and the dress being done up properly,I hope you feel like a princess when you try it on again
