On food that is.
Seriously, food is something of an obsession with me; I should be one of those people you see on the talk shows being taken out of their house with a crane and flatbed. I would be completely unsurprised if my food board on Pinterest has more pins than any of my other boards. Don't get me wrong, I'm not being dysmorphic or anything, but I'm not exactly the thinnest I've ever been. Neither am I the heaviest I've ever been.
What does this have to do with the wedding? Quite a bit actually. Because of the size of my dress, material and embroidery, I'm not allowed to loose too much weight, which is nice, but it also will not allow me to do much by way of reducing my chub rub (oh yeah, I'm really talking about this! It's serious stuff, I've seen brides super uncomfortable because of their underthings, and refuse to be one of them if I can avoid it). Typically this isn't a issue, as I can count on one hand the number of times I wear a skirt or dress in a year. Typically I can get away with a pair of bike shorts or similar. I have a pair of spanx I wore for graduation and a wedding we attended, but honestly, I'd rather deal with rub than wear them again. Plus, it's my freaking wedding, I should be comfortable, right?
So I'm kind of obsessing about my udergarments. I've thought about something like in the picture above: feminine and satiny with a hint of romance, but then I think about the issue with baggier bottoms--I'll be constantly tugging at the legs to smooth them out. I've seen alternative underwear talked about in various places, but haven't done a lot of research yet. It's too bad you really can't try on underwear because that would make this all so much easier--I'd know how they react to walking around, how much of my leg is covered, just how tight (or not) they are, etc. This isn't just any underwear, this is the underwear I'm freaking getting married in! It has to be comfy, at least a little cute and functional. Damn, am I setting myself up for failure here? Guess I'm going shopping while the laundry's doing it's thing today.

OMG...those bloomers look amazing. Do it!!!
ReplyDeleteThose are cute! Another solution is to put deodorant on your thighs.... I learned this trick for a very smart lady. It wears off after a while on hot days, but should work pretty well for a September wedding.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. Do you think it'll work even with dancing and all? Because I could get away with boyshorts that might not cover everything using that trick.
ReplyDeleteYeah.... I think that it could work. Plus we can always hide a travel-sized deodorant somewhere in order to reapply after the dances!
