So I had my first fitting yesterday and dammit, I forgot to take a pic of the bustle! Its a 5 point bustle I think (but then I had to pay for 3 more loops as well?) kind of in the shape of a rainbow, the way the lace is picked up looks really pretty. I am so mad at myself for not taking a pic, but I totally thought I was going to have to order another dress I was not expecting to actually have things done.
Speaking of, my dress is too tight and the seamstress thinks the next size up would be way too big. I can try to lose the weight of course but I cannot risk it. So we are adding a corset back. I thought it would be too much but hopefully people wont think so since they didnt see it before... the back will not be any higher or lower, the corset part will start at the top of the zipper part. So really the only difference is that my back will no longer be a "V" but more of a "\_/". I really wanted a corset dress to begin with but I fell in love with this dress. I do feel relief because now if I DO lose (or gain) weight, I wont have to worry about alterations, just tighten or loosen the laces more!

I will definitely post pics of the corset back. The one they are adding is Ivory, but I am on the hunt to find a champagne ribbon to do the actual lacing with. I think the contrast against the ivory modesty panel will be nice, but again, might be too much, so I will see.
As of right now, I am not wearing a bra. I wear a 40DD so none of the "invisble" bras even come in my size. I was going to have the seamstress sew in cups but even those didn't feel any more supportive than the dress itself. The dress actually holds the girls in nicely but I do want to do something to give them more oomph
One thing I found out yesterday was that my shoes suck. They were soooo painful I was begging to take them off after 30 minutes. So now I am on the hunt to find something else with the same heel height.
