tight dress...

I know this might sound stupid, so dont leave your ridiculous mean comments. Its halloween tonight (YAY!) but my costume is borrowed from a friend who is thinner then me about like 15 pounds. Usually we can share the same clothes, but this morning I woke up really bloated. Is there anything I can do before the end of the night to help this dress actually go on. I have 4 hours!. I have tried drinking tons of water

Try drinking chamomile tea. That is what I drink when I am bloated on my period. It not only helps the bloat go down (well, as much as it can on my period) but it also helps the pain.

If you get desparate, you could try a laxative or a diuretic. You would have to decide if you wanted to take a laxative now, though, because you do not want one that will work in 4-8 hours (possibly while you are out!).

It might help a little to wear some control top panty hose or something like that.  Also, I've always found coffee to have a mild diuretic effect, so maybe drink alot of coffee?

I can't really offer any advice without pictures.

control top hose or a panty girdle....take extra time with your makeup....if you want have a cocktail to loosen up your worries and go have fun.

It's a costume, and having one be a little tight is probably a bonus for tonight!

also stop drinking water.  You cannot take down water weight over like 5 hours doing that.  Drink coffee or something.
