Can I drop a dress size in two weeks?

[kendrab]

I bought a vintage dress for my prom in January and it fit me perfectly.
I tried it on last week and it's a size and a half too small, and there is not enough seam allowance to let it out.
I am still the same weight as I was in January, but it seems i have gained a few inches.

In April I suffered a few semi serious internal injuries, subsequently landing me in the hospital for four days and bedridden for the following week.
Due to these injuries, exercise other than moderate walking is not only discouraged by my doctor, but also incredibly painful.
I also cannot use any supplements or diet pills.

My prom is on May 28th, is there any chance at all that I could lose at least one dress size by then or is getting a new dress a better option?

Your body needs to heal itself properly. That's more important in the long run than a dress.

Oh man, that's really sad.

All I can say is, eat really healthy, limit your calories...maybe do some sit-ups for your waistline, but i dont know if you can.

Thats a real shame, but definatly check with your doctors before you try anything. There will always be other times you can wear this dress but your health is far more valuble.
