I had my first dress fitting with Louise on Sat and like everyone said she is AWESOME! She is super easy to talk to and I in no way felt rushed (like I have when trying the dress on at the place I bought it).
I am having her put cups in the dress so I dont have to worry about a bra. Here is a pic of me with the cups in:
These are actually push up cups which I think I like a bit better than the normal cups.
We tried out bustles and here are the two options we looked at...
Option #1:
Option #2:
I think option two photographs well but it almost seemed too curtain clumpy for me in person. I kinda liked how option one looks like it could just be a part of the dress rather than a bustle. What do you ladies think? 1or 2?
I am also DIY my veil. So far all i have done is dying the tulle - we tea dyed it and I think it turned out really well. Here is a pic with Louise holding the tulle up to get an idea of color:
Here is it draped across the train:
So in total she is going to put cups in, fit it around my bust, fix the sash in the back (my dress was a sample so the sash needs some work), take it in a very little bit at my waist so it doesn't slide around, hem it because it is VERY long, add a bustle, and adjust the crinoline under the dress so it lays better....all of this for $175 plus I am going to pay cash to get the %10 off so it will be even less! Yea! I am getting back together with her in April for my next fitting - cant wait!
