A celebration is announced, it seems a distance in the future, but comes around quicker than we thought and realise that we’d like to lose a few pounds before we slip into our gorgeous outfit. At Bombshell HQ we have been designing and fitting occasion dresses and working with our wonderful clients for many years, and so have a sure fast understanding of what and when you could be thinking about dress fittings and any dieting.

Three Month Rule 

12 weeks or a rounded three months is the timescale we recommend when it comes to thinking about any diet.  Three months means you are not crash dieting but working your diet into a healthy routine. If and only if, you are going on a diet, please bear in mind your dress size and what can be altered! For the record - we as you know are pretty anti dieting! We embrace voluptuous forms. For example, if you are looking to lose a little weight, maybe think about 4 pounds a month, which is realistic without changing your body drastically. Think about it, you have bought the most exquisite dress and it was tailored but now it doesn’t fit properly. Not a great scenario, therefore here is where Bombshell parachute in with advice! Let’s talk about the Golden Rule here….

Let's look at a few of our dress styles to give you an example: Our gorgeous navy, below the knee Confident dress has a v neck owing to the timeless faux wrap fit. It's a 3/4 length sleeve, therefore elongating the shoulder and also sleeves that finish past the bust point work better as you look well - less wide.  As a matter of fact this dress is also great for the smaller bust too as wearing a good bra can emphasise this area, often it's all in the underwear. Many bombshell customers who have had a mastectomy have opted for this dress as they are able to wear a prosthetic as the Confident can be worn with a higher cross over point.
