I picked my dress up in October, and it's been hanging in the office closet ever since. I haven't even peeked at it. No idea why, but I've just had no interest in it and I usually forget it's even there. The bridal shop owner advised me to try it on as much as possible to try to "break in" the lace top, because the lace is kind of stiff and scratchy right now. But with our tiny house and the office being crammed full of wedding supplies and FI almost always being here... meh. Just never felt like taking the dress out.
Well yesterday I was bored and decided to practice my wedding make-up. While I was at it, I decided to also practice my hair. Then I decided to try out my hair pins. Then my earrings. Then my shoes. Then suddenly I really wanted to put my dress on, so I locked the door, shoved some boxes aside, and pulled that huge thing out of its bag.
The mirror in the office sucks so I didn't get the best look at it, but I loved having it on. It made me really excited to start my fittings and then to have FI see me in it (in less than 3 months!!!). Now I keep thinking about it and I want to try it on more lol but I will restrain myself because I'm also really worried it could end up getting a tear or a spot or something.
For those of you also keeping your dress in your house (or you did before your wedding), do you forget about it, or do you try it on? Did you want to put it on all the time?
