An update on the dress

Thu, 17 Dec 2009 12:28p.m.
So at the start of this month I was finally reunited with The Dress!  I hadn't seen it in months, and was very eager to see how the alterations to the neckline turned out, and how it fitted most importantly!
 
There were some nerves of course; would I still love it?  Would I see something in the window that I loved more?  The usual things that I'm sure many brides experience!
 
The good news is, I still love it!  And I love the new neckline, its exactly what I pictured.
 
The bad news is, it doesn't fit.  By the dressmaker's estimate, it needs to be taken in a dress size.  And while this is awesome from a weight loss point of view, it means more money for alterations!  Got to take the good with the bad right?!
 
So I don't have a finished dress just yet, but I'm not too fussed, it's not like I can wear it any time soon anyway!
 
Its been a good couple of weeks all round actually, things are looking brighter!  I finally found a torsolette that actually fits properly without creating additional muffin top!  And after realising my shoes weren't going to fit in the warmer weather, I jumped online and found some cute and well priced shoes at www.shoebuy.com, tracked down a 20% off voucher too, so took a gamble (story of my life really!) and ordered them.  They arrived Monday and they look great!  Better yet, they fit!
So I'm a smiling bride to be for now :)
