I have my first fitting tomorrow. A little early, I know but I need a bridesmaid dress for my brother's wedding in July done too so going all at once. I'm excited to see more of the finished look and what it will look like bustled. I'm going to do my hair and makeup similar to the day of so I can get the full look. Normally when my mom wants me to try on my dress I have a ponytail in and little to no make up on. I am kind of nervous about how expensive it is going to be. I've budgeted $200 and I just need it hemmed and a bustle but I hear how much alterations vary so I'm a little scared! I'm hoping it is enough because we can't afford more. I picked a lady with a wonderful reputation and who owns her own shop (hear this is more affordable than bridal salons because the salon doesn't take a cut from the seamstress). Just hoping it is a fun day without money being an issue! And if it is over budget, guess I'll just look like I'm wearing a potato sack to my brother's wedding because my dress is first priority haha.
