I had my first fitting last night and it was perfect=)
All i need are cups and a bustle...i hadnt seen my dress since March when it first came in and just tried it on to see where it was fit wise. The shoes i bought are just the right height and im super excited!
I can def tell personally the gym has been paying off, back in March they were only able to do the corset and not button it and last night they could buttong and make it tighter bc as i was walking im like hello the dress is falling down and walking away from me...
I was a little upset they couldnt do the side bustle which is how i originally saw the dress and tried it on last August but the seamstress is like it prob was not a bustle it was just tied up like that so when people tried it on they didnt step on it....she tried doing it and there was too much material that made it heavy and i thought i would topple over!
Here are a couple of pics...dont mind the poses/faces, etc it was late, and i was hot!
I dont have to go back until 9/27, she wants me to try it on with the bustle and cups and then she will steam my dress and veil and ill pick it up right before the wedding=)
Alterations altogether are $220 which includes the cups, bustle and steaming it.
Of course the seamstress was Italian so her and my were chatting it up the whole time in Italian...oh and my mom's dress came and in and is beautiful, no pics though=(
