March 2012 Weddings

Freaking out...

I have my first fitting tomorrow @ 1pm... NOT only have I been not dieting.. I don't have anything ready! They called to confirm my appointment today. The seamstress told me "make sure you have everything for the fitting. Your shoes, undergarments, jewelry...." I don't have any of that. NOTHING! What am I supposed to do!!!? Tomorrow is supposed to be very bad weather, and I have to TRY to make it out to the mall so I could at least get undergarments and shoes! I hope my dress fits too.... I haven't been doing anything as far as diet and exercise. I am a mess!

    Can you reschedule the fitting?  Blame the weather if you have to!  But, yeah, you really have to have the bra and shoes you're wearing in the wedding when they do the fitting.  Otherwise they can't really get the dress fitted properly.

    Also, don't worry too much about not dieting, unless you ordered the dress a size smaller or something.  I was terrified mine wouldn't fit, and it was fine.  

    Oh and I don't see why you'd need the jewelry, unless you just wanted to bring some to decide which to wear.  I didn't bring any to mine.

  • I would say shoes are most important. But undergarments can be too if it has to be taken in.
  • Gosh, when I did fittings I never wore my undergarments.  I didn't even think to.  But then again, I wasn't large enough at the time to require a bra at all and went without one under my dress (which had built in cups anyway).  And actually, I don't think I had my shoes, either.  I just wore the same height shoes that I planned to wear on the wedding day.

    So if you know you want to wear three inch heels and have a pair of 3 inch heels at home just bring those.  They don't have to be the exact same shoes.  And if you plan on wearing a strapless bra then just wear a strapless bra.  I doubt it'll make much difference.  The only thing that would really affect your sizing, I think, it Spanx but you can get those at Walmart.

    I believe in a lot of things. I believe in fresh tennis balls, the healing power of bunnies, and that the novels of Susan Sontag are something I'll never read. In fact, I don't even know who Susan Sontag is. What is she... like... a painter? I believe in Crystal Lite because I believe in ME. I believe in the movies of Val Kilmer, though these days it ain't so easy. I believe in Darren Sproles, the word "dabble", the first season of "Silk Stockings", and big, warm, moist, gooey chocolate chip cookies that melt in your mouth and all over your face.

    Everything whitey said in the 2nd paragraph. Just make sure that you get shoes that are relatively close to the ones you wear tomorrow. you'll be just fine!

    PS: I'm wearing spanx and nothing else under my dress.

    Still here and still fabulous!

  • If you do decide to get a strapless bustier/corset, I really recommend this one (clicky) from Dillards. I bought it yesterday and love it . It holds everything in and is long enough so that it doesn't hit you right at the love handles, but you can still breathe! It was way more comfortable than the ones I tried in Victoria Secret.
