My First Dress Fitting

May 14th, 2007 @ 11:00 am by Mrs. Snow Pea

I met up with my friend who designed my wedding gown this weekend. She is overseeing all the details and the process while another woman is making the pattern for the dress. She is so meticulous and the coolest chick you will ever meet. She’s a wondeful friend. I trust her totally and I am so grateful she is designing something as special as my wedding gown.

As I posted previously, the dress is first made with muslin to make sure the dress fits me perfectly before cutting the real fabric. It may not look like much now, but the pattern is everything when designing anything custom. The bodice fit perfectly, but she’s going to tighten it up a little more in case I lose weight (I wish).

Something Blue? How appropriate. They briefly pinned this chiffon to my shoulder to demonstrate the size and “fluffiness” of the sleeve and if I want more or less?

I would post more photos, but I had no idea that I would be so nude under this fabric. I think this is more of me than any of you need and/or want to see. I had to take off my tanktop which I intended on keeping on. I told them that next time, I will know to wear my hot pink S&M gear under there. winky

Things to do next:
-Lose more weight
-Play more Wii and tone arms
-Buy undergarments and shoes
-Buy Mederma to clear up scars on back of arms

What did you learn after your fittings?

At my fitting I learned I didn’t want a huge puffy slip and that sewn-in cups were very comfy and looked great.

Yay! It looks great so far! The fit really is wonderful for your first fitting.

I am so glad that you are blogging about your experiences. It is really cool for people to see what actually goes into a custom dress.

Can’t wait to see more!

(At my first fitting, I only had a bra and Spanx on under my sheer lace (outer)dress. Definitely not pics I wanted out there, either :))
