First fitting

maggiebeth29

I have my first dress fitting tomorrow!!! 

My mother really wanted to go early because she has lost 30 lbs and is afraid her dress won't be able to be altered - but she looks amazing, so who cares if she has to buy a new dress!

I haven't lost any weight, but hey this is me.  He loves me for me, so the guests can just deal

any advice on what to bring?

besides dress, shoes, bra?

Congrats to your mom! I'd also bring your veil/hair accessories and jewelry. And don't forget your camera!! Naturally, if you want to share those photos with us.... have fun!

Congrats on your first fitting.  I haven't lost the weight I was hoping to either, but I'm not overweight at all and FI loves the curves that I have. You will look beautiful on your wedding day!

don't worry about the weight. as long as you're comfortable and happy the clothes can be altered.  guests won't care. they'll just say you look amazing!

FWIW my bridal shower dress got SOOOOO MANY 'you look so skinny' 'you look great' comments.  i've been the same weight and size since highschool so its more proof that the clothes can give you a certain appearance without YOU actually changing

like PP said, bring your veil and accessories.  I used my fitting as a 'look trial' to make sure my veil placement would look good with the hairstyle i was considering (i did it quickly myself), i tried on a couple different jewelry pieces too.  it definitely made me feel good to know i had the accessories taken care of
