August 2012 Weddings

First fitting today

So excited, I had my frist fitting and my MOH had hers. My dress is perfect, just needs a little lenght taken off the sides and the bustle added, and I could use a couple pounds in the middle to widen out the corset a little but it is okay as is. My MOH's dress was ordered way too big and has to be taken in quite a bit even though it has a corset back. The store said she must have lost weight but she didn't, I think they just ordered it big so she would have to pay more for alterations. When they looked at what measurements had been written down they had her waist as 3 inches bigger than she is, she is tiny so 3 inches would make a big difference. We'll see if the other girls dresses were sized correctly when they have their fittings. 

I will post pics next time, I can't find the cord to upload pics from my camera and we didn't think to take any until after the dress was all pinned so it didn't look quite as nice

Re: First fitting today

  • Exciting :. I think a lot of bridal shops order bigger sizes than needed. Sucks hopefully the other girls have better luck

  • Exciting! My first fitting is supposed to be Saturday, but I will have to reschedule because I don't have shoes yet  :(
    Can't wait to see pictures!
  • My bridal shop told me that I didn't need to start my fittings until the 1st week of July.  I don't think that I will need many alterations because it fit so perfectly when I bought it.  I have lost a little weight, but not enough to make it not fit right.  Way to go on getting the first fitting out of the way.  I can't wait for mine.  It will make things even more real for me than actually buying the dress.
