My First Gown Fitting

January 28th, 2007 @ 11:26 am by Mrs. Plum

It fit perfectly (well, except the hem because I am Asian- haha). Who would’ve guessed? happy05

The stars must have been perfectly aligned for me today or something (if I actually believed in that stuff - lol) because everything went perfectly yesterday. Seriously. I picked a cake, put a deposit down, and my gown fit perfectly and it was gorgeous.

The only bad thing was that I couldn’t remember what color I ordered my gown in when I ordered my Haute Bride bracelet, so I got the wrong color. sad01 I hope they’ll let me exchange it - it’s supposed to arrive on Tuesday.

Here are some pictures from my fitting!

The seamstress (I think her name was Nancy) putting up the 17 point color-coded bustle shocked06, and she only pinned up half the dress today.

All I have to say is, my bridesmaids are gonna have fun putting that up.

Clearer… See! I’m being good and growing out my skinny eyebrows… It’s been hard to resist the plucking urge when you feel like you have two huge caterpillars crawling across your forehead… hahaha

Is that a Reem? You look beautiful even though strapless. The back is amazing and it is overall stunning.

Hello Miss Plum,
I also ordered “Aria” by Kenneth Pool. I just found out that mine came in over the weekend. I’m sooooo excited. I can’t wait to see it. What size did you order your dress in? Do you have any additional pictures you can share from your fitting?

Thanks
Vicky
