  Aw, I was nervous when my dress came in and I went to try it on to make sure it was all good... I actually brought my sister in law and bff who are in the wedding to see it as well. I started crying-- just tears of happiness, and yes it does make it more real.

  Erbear, I know a great seamstress if you need one.  lol
  
  I'm also not excited about having all eyes on me.  My dress came in and when we went to my aunt & uncle's on the 4th, I brought it over there for "storage" so FI doesn't get the urge to peek.  While I was there, I ended up pulling it out of the box (and obviously not trying it on) and showing it to my mom, my aunt, my mom's cousin, her daughter, and my niece.  I was so nervous about just doing THAT, that I wanted to get sick to my stomach.  But they LOVED it and couldn't stop raving about it.  That REALLY made me feel good and I think it will be less stressful on me to walk down the aisle because there are people who have already seen the dress, if that makes sense. 
  
  If you're nervous, just go try it on by yourself - no other eyes on you.  They probably just want to make sure it's the right dress and that there are no spots or rips.  At least if you try it on now and there's a problem, there's still enough time for them to fix it or get you a replacement.  You REALLY don't want that comfort window to pass you by, because if there's a problem with the dress, that will add a TON more stress on your shoulders.

  I just got my dress too and gave it to my MOH for safe keeping.  It definitely feels surreal, I am equally excited about getting married but trying on the dress feels like costume shopping at halloween lol I guess I've just never pictured what I'd look or feel like in a wedding dress so seeing myself feels like I'm just playing dress up.  I'll bet by alterations time it'll start to hit us!!  Hey, any suggestions on storage since we have soooo long to go?  I'm all worried it's gonna wilt on me (I know, I know, steaming will make all the difference..)

  </div><div>I would suggest storing in a fabric garment bag in a dark closet where it isn't too humid or damp. I have read wrapping your dress in a white cotton sheet can prevent any discolouration.  I am sure nothing will happen though in the 9ish months till your wedding but better to be cautious :)
