Worried about being too hot!!

[torsie24]

I'm really having a bit of a panic about getting a dress at the moment!! I'd love some feedback from you ladies.

So far, the vast majortiy of dresses I've tried on in bridal stores have made me really, really hot! One time I even almost passed out and had to sit down! (I had found out I was ill the day before and had to have emergency surgery - so we're passing this off as a worry based event.)

Did you ladies find trying dresses on a very hot task? Or am I a wedding dress freak?

Add to this the fact that I'm trying dresses on in UK winter, not Florida spring.

I am going to look at some destination wedding dresses, but should I give up my dream of a princess dress because of my worry of the heat issue?

My plan is to lose a lot of weight and get fit for the wedding so I wont be AS hot....

But its really getting me down at the moment......

Losing weight helped with my overheating like you wouldn't believe!!

I always kept the a/c in the office so cold that people called it a meatlocker! Now, when they come in, they tell me that it is a sauna.

Nervousness of trying on dresses may also raise your body tempeture so that may contribute

Try to keep cool up until you put the dress on..maybe have a cool pack for the back of your neck

Thanks sweetie - I was thinking that it could be excitement/nervousness too. Since the passing out incident I get double nervous for it happening again, but I don't think it will.

I might slow down the dress trying as I am starting a diet on Monday so hopefully in a couple of months I should be a lot healthier and therefore better to try on dresses.

Will be summer then too.

I really wouldnt worry about it, I got very hot trying them on and I'm a cold person and yes florida is hot compared to here but most places have air con.

I would have regretted it if I got a simple dress say from monsoon.

Lurker coming out of hiding here....

Try a hoop skirt under the dress instead of the usually slips. Your legs are more "free" if that makes sense. It makes you feel less trapped.
