The dress fitting...
The day I was for some reason dreading? For absolutely absurd and silly reasons...
1. I'm not nearly in the shape I want to be in for my wedding...
2. What if I decide I HATEEE my dress??
3. What if I decide that I look absolutely ridiculous in it, and there's nothing I can do about it.
4. Ok I'll stop I'll admit I was a crazy! (According to a couple of my bridesmaids!)
I knew in my heart that everything was going to be fine, and I was going to love my dress just as much as I did when I first put it on, perhaps even more because it was more my size and not the stocked size. But I couldn't help not feeling a touch of anxiety. It was such a huge moment.
With a few cancellations due to schedules not matching up, my Mom, my sister, and I finally made our way back to Priscilla's on Boylston Street last Thursday.
I was greeted by Nella, the manager of the alteration department, and she led me to the room where my dress was awaiting me. Again it was love at first sight...even in the clear garment bag I knew I was going to love it.
SO the moment of truth...Nella helped me dress and put me on the pedestal. And all I could do was smile. I loved it. It was perfect. It was truly my dress.
It was pretty big (which I was happy about) and they pinned accordingly to mark where it had to be taken in. Their main objective is to make the dress fit 'like a glove' and to make it look like that dress was especially made for you, which it should be!
I can not praise the alteration ladies enough. The alteration ladies at Priscilla's are adorable. They truly make you feel beautiful and like a princess. They couldn't stop raving about the dress, my beauty and my 'glow' in it and also the beauty of my mom, sister, and I. It was fun!
I can not wait until I go back to see the latest changes and alterations. This time I will go in with more confidence and hopefully bring a couple of my bridesmaids!
One thing I have to keep in mind is I can not gain an ounce...the pressure is on!
So everyone was right...I ended up loving my dress 100000x more then before...if that was even possible! So since then I've basically been on cloud 9.
