Use a body girdle(sp)Also called body control garments.. you know those underwear looking things for your body that makes you thinner. They really work and are super comfy. Go to the underwear section in Wal-mart they are they. They can make you like 3 inches smaller.

I think its all up to you.  My husband and I listened to tons of songs and finally heard one on the radio we loved.  As for the number of bridesmaids, it all depends on the two of you also.  The one thing I will tell you is the more people in the wedding party the harder it is to round them all up for pictures and rehersal and all that.  Good luck and congrats to you! \n\nP.S.- Try going to www.theknot.com.  They have lots of good advice.

Don't worry, you are not being rude, your friend is.  She might be being a bit thoughtless because she's busy arranging her wedding.  Gift vouchers are perfectly appropriate.  Just give as much as you can afford and include a card with some heartfelt words about how much your friend means to you and how glad you are that she's getting married.

Wear anything that looks nice and you feel good in.  There is no set dress code.  It is your wedding so you need to feel good about it.

Oh that sounds so romantic, if its a formal reception with a diner dance then why not wear an elegant evening dress with a nice wrap to keep you cosy before you get to the reception, you can either hire an evening gown or you can buy one from the high street fashion shops too, try EBay they have some beautiful evening dresses dirt cheap, enjoy the wedding and good luck.

Your 10-year old can definitely give you away....that's a great idea!\n\nAs for bridesmaid numbers, it's best to keep it to a minimum (three is a good number), and stick to the people who you are absolutely closest to, like sister, future sister-in-law, and very best, long-time friend.  \n\nOnce you stray outside of your closest circle of friends, people will start asking "why wasn't I asked to be a bridesmaid?"\n\nDon't forget as well that you'll have to pay for their dresses, hair and make-up, gifts, etc.

Contact the gown venders to be sure.  Choose your dress and let them know your measurements.  They will have the dress ready for your fitting when you get there that way.   a month and a half should be plenty of time to do alterations if the dress is already there waiting for you.

My wedding is in July too! Congratulation first of all! I'm sure you're so excited! I will tell you what I did i hae bridesmaids i know you don't but maybe you can incorporate some of these ideas and colors in your wedding. The bridesmaids are wearing like a bright green almost lime color dress. My maids of honor are wearing a bright pink not hot pink kind of magenta. So I am going to have the flowers the same colors as their dresses. I have lots of colors in my wedding. I think it's okay to go with lots of color! I have white,pinks,greens,yellows and some purple. It's all about what you like. You said you want red roses in your bouquet so go with that. Keep in mind that too much red and green will start to look like a Christmas wedding and it'll be July. Just go with your gut!

I don't think it is your duty to wear an ugly bridesmaid dress, but it would be a very kind and gracious thing of you to do.  Planning a wedding can be horribly stressful for some brides, and it would be generous of you to just not say anything.  Of course, if you feel it is necessary, at least try and be tactful.  But keep in mind that you will only have to wear the dress for a few hours, and it is most likely that your friend picked out these dresses because she likes them.  Wearing ugly clothes isn't as bad as it may seem.  In the grand scheme of things, your friends wedding (and her sanity leading up to that point!) is more important than an ugly dress.  Another thing to concider is that if you bring up how you don't like the style, etc., another bridesmaid will suddenly feel confident to voice her oppinion on the length or the color, and another on the shoes, the cut, etc.  One comment could snowball into a pack of unhappy bridesmaids!  It really is impossible to please everyone at once, and the bride is most likely already trying to please many people who think they know how to run her wedding.  All that said, I would just let things be.  The main thing is that you are there to support your friend on the most important day of her life, and wittness the vows she makes before God, family, friends, and her husband-to-be.

Im thinking it could cost at least $100. I have to get mine done soon. We spent $750 on the dress. I was a size 12 then, and now lost over 30 ibs. The dress was already alittle too long on me (im short) and its a halter, and the strap needed shortened. So, mine is probably needing about as much as yours needs done. We are looking around $100, and thats not including getting it cleaned and pressed before the wedding. You would almost be better to go somewhere like davids bridal. They have pretty dresses for a good price, and they have the $99 sale often. But if you love the dress you have, i say go for it and get it altered!\n\nBest wishes!

These "people" are probably just trying to get a rise out of you! Don't let those empty headed fools bring you down! you are beautiful! Superficial beauty doesn't matter in the end, it's just the surface. I know it can be hard, when your Friends hurt you, but you can't leave them just yet! One day, you will find people who love you 24/7 for who you ARE, not what you wear. If the dress makes you feel that uncomfortable, then don't wear it. if you like it though, i would keep Showing it off!!

How long until the wedding?  If it's in the near future, it's probably too late to back out.\n\nIf it's several months in the future, I would tell her that, after much consideration, that you don't feel that you are the right person to stand next to her at her wedding.  Wish her well, and cut off the friendship.  It doesn't sound like much of a friendship to me at all, and I wonder if she asked you since she doesn't have any really close friends to ask due to her warped personality.
