It Zipped!
My mom and I went to my first dress fitting last night. Now don't get me wrong - I was very excited to get to see my actual dress and be able to try it on, but for whatever reason, I was VERY nervous. I think I was afraid that my weight had fluctuated or something and the more I kept thinking that that is always possible, the more I was afraid that it would not fit. I worked myself nervous enough that I thought maybe we would not be able to even get it zipped. I cannot tell you the relief I had when it zipped all the way up with no trouble at all! From that point, I was just totally excited to be in my dress!
We knew that they would have to alter the dress on top since my top half isn't the same size as the bottom half of me, but overall, they didn't have to do too much and the price for it all came back pretty reasonable. I was also pretty relieved to figure out that I can wear a "normal" foundation piece and that the alterations person can add a snap from it to the dress to ensure that it stays in place the whole day! Whew - one less thing for my bridesmaids to have to check on all day. And to top it off, I do not have to have the length of the dress altered at all!
The alterations person, Vicky, was extremely nice and definitely seems to know what she is doing. She took her time and explained what she was doing and how that would change the way the dress would fit. She would ask what we thought to be sure we were happy and she was just so pleasant and calm. It was a great experience. And I am just so glad that my mom is able to do these things with me. It makes it so much easier to have her there, and also that much more exciting. Thanks, Mom!
