Anyone tried stomach taping or bandaging?

I am getting married April 1 and have the almost perfect wedding dress except spanx are not doing the job with my loose skin. The back of the dress is fairly low so my compression garment can't be too high and the material is too thin to wear boning (it will show). I bought it thinking spanx would work but I need to either bandage this skin somehow or tape it to give a smoother appearance. I found a product on Amazon called Skinnies that can be used for stomach, arms and thighs and wondering if anyone has had luck with it or can suggest something else. Surran wrap would be just too hot for my Texas wedding. Down 150 lbs! I didn't want to have plastics before pregnancy.

I hope you find a solution. I just want to say congrats on your wedding to be and gorgeous dress! Oh, and congrats on your weight loss too! :)

You look Amazing!! I don't know very many people who could wear that dress and look that good. However if it bothers you you can use duct tape it comes in off white and have someone tape you.

I wouldnt sweat it. No one will notice your skin. Dont stress over trivial BS, youre healthier and will live a more active life, dot let some skin drag you down.

You look amazing! I second having a heavier fabric liner under so that it can flow a bit more. But you really don't need it!

Fabulous dress. Just relax on your big day and know how good 150 pounds lost looks on you! Use whatever is most comfortable!

Beautiful dress. I think you look great in it!! I agree with the others who have suggested a heavier material for the skirt.

Congratulations on the weight loss :)

Well first congratulations. I'll let the ladies give you suggestions cuz I'm not very good at that. But from a guy's perspective you look wonderful. Spend the time now to get as good as you can get and then forget about it and enjoy the process. You look wonderfully beautiful and sexy. And he's a lucky guy and he knows that. Don't let the little things bug you.

Yeah, I wouldn't do duct tape for fear of hurting your skin. Not sure if there is room for a heavier liner. Maybe keep looking for compression garments. Some can be very sturdy.

Either way, you are beautiful!

Congratulations on your weight loss!!!! The dress is gorgeous and looks great on you!
