First Fitting & my DIY headband!!!! Lots of PIPS :)

I had my first fitting last night. I was nervous about the dress not fitting, but it did and thanks to the corseted back, no matter what happens (i.e. if I loose weight or not) the dress will be perfect, its just a matter of how tight the corset is tied.

I also found out that with the shoes that I bought, I won't have to alter the hem of the dress, its perfect the way it is. The only thing that is being done for alterations is the bustle, I am so pumped about that!

The seamstress figured out a way to bustle the dress and I'm so in love with the way she did it!

Here are the pic:








My dress came with a shoulder strap, which I knew from the beginning that I didn't want to wear, so I asked if I could have it cut off so that I could make a headband/hair clip with the strap. I am planning on wearing the headband during the reception since I won't be wearing my veil all night and I wanted some bling in my hair! The seamstress cut it off for me and as soon as I got home I assembled it into a beautiful ribbon headband! I love it so much and FI was home when I did it and he thought it looked great too :)

I'm going to bring it to my hair trial later on this month and ask the hairstyles if its good the way it is, or if I should add it to a hair comb type thing instead.

Here are the pics for the headband:

    The dress is really so pretty, so I'm surprised that you and I might be the only one who are wearing it! Did you know that they discontinued the Leoni?!? I found out about a month after I ordered my dress so its a good thing I ordered it when I did!



    Thank you to everyone else for your kind words. I'm so happy with my dress and I'm super excited about how my headband turned out....it won't be too long until I get to wear them both!!! :)

    </div><div>I know, right?  The lady at my bridal shop said that a lot of girls try it in, but not a lot can pull it off apparently =]  I did know it was discontinued - I went shopping for the 1st time, found it, and then had a week and half to decide whether it was the dress because it was being discontinued!  I put my order in 1 day before the deadline.
