It just don't fit

Well who can guess what doesn't fit. Oh yeah the big dress. Did anyone guess that?

For anyone who has gone through the process of getting a wedding dress you will understand that this is just par for the course. No wedding dress is a perfect fit (unless you are a manikin) and so it must be altered in order to fit properly. I am about to start this long process and hopefully end up with a great fitting dress.

Think back to January when I made a couple posts about my dress. It caused me a lot of worry. Well I have decided to work with the woman (Danette) that I met at the bridal show. She made me feel really comfortable with the changes that may need to be made. She also had reasons that sounded accurate instead of the alterations person at David's Bridal who kept saying "Everything will be better if you just go up a size." Didn't anyone tell her that is the worst thing to say to a woman. Needless to say Danette will hopefully be a better fit for me. Even if she turns out to be more expensive than David's (something I doubt) I'm pretty sure the quality will be better.

So on Jul 17th at 10:45am I will trek to New Glarus, WI and have my first fitting. I also am glad to get this process started early. Since I have to add travel time between fittings I need to start a little earlier than the 2 months out. I am really excited to pass it off to an expert and not have to worry about it anymore. Plus double bonus I don't have to move it twice this month and will just leave it in Madison until the wedding. A big weight of my shoulders and closet rod :).

  1. Does that mean I will have to host the dress until the wedding?
