I picked up my dress!!!!!!!!! EEEEEEKKK!!!!!!! It’s so much prettier than I remember!!! Although I’m not posting pictures of my dress, I thought I could give you guys a sneak peak.

This is a picture of the bottom of the dress when I tried it on back in April. See how the dress is two-toned? I absolutely fell in love with the fact that the dress had different shades. This is how I came up with the idea to use champagne in my color scheme. Funny thing is, when I picked up the dress this week, the bottom of it was completely ivory. At first, I thought they messed up my order (the horror! 8O). However, it turns out that the dress I originally tried on was just old and the fabric had aged to that color! Hahaha - I felt so dumb!

Of course, I love the dress with the clean ivory applique.

Anyway, I took the dress to my tailor for my fitting. Luckily for me, my MOH’s husband, Damon, is the one who will be doing my alterations. And it looks like there may be more alterations than I thought. As much as I tried to get the bridal shop to order the dress shorter than they usually would (I’m a real muchkin at 5 feet tall), they promised that it would be the correct length. Of course, it came about 1.5 inches too long, which is a big problem, especially since I really don’t want to wear 4.5 inch heels. So it’s likely that the dress will have to be taken up.

Also, when I first tried on the dress, I fit perfectly into a bridal size 12. I made them order me a size 10 anyway because I said I would lose weight. Now, the size 10 is way too big on me too! So the top will have to be taken in several inches, especially now that I am training for another month.

So that’s the story of my dress. In case you are wondering, my dress is a Casablanca.
