Had first Fitting!!!

OMG I am so happy!!! 

About a month ago, I was looking in thrift stores.... Like I always am... I found a goregous wedding dress, but when I took it back there to try it on, it did not fit me. I left the dress there... But kept thinking about it all weekend... Finally, I knew that it was the one. So I bought it.... Even though it did not fit...

It was brand-new strapless Michaelangelo's A-Line, complete with DB tags.... for 549.00. I paid 50 for it. I did not fit me because of my breasts, so I knew that i was going to need to do something with it, and I finally did... I got a back brace to use as a breast minimiser. But it was still too small up top... 

So I called a seamstress and mentioned my problem, and she set up an appointment with me for yesterday. The dress is only four inches too small in the bust area, so she is going to put a panel (I do not want a corset) in the back and voila!! 

I finally got to see a picture of me in the dress, as the back was pinned together... And I was right. This is my dress and I am so thrilled that I did not give up, simply because of a fitting issue... 

Dress - 50.00
Back Brace - 17.00
Alterations - 150.00

Perfect wedding dress.... PRICELESS!!!!
