Sewing Me Into My Dress
May 14th, 2007 @ 3:28 pm by Mrs. Raspberry
So… one of the most fun things we did while I was at home for a week of wedding planning, was my first dress fitting. Since my dress is a couture dress from Paris, there are a few little alterations that it needed, and since it wasn’t through a bridal salon here, we had to find a tailor to work with my dress. My mom gets all the credit here as the woman she found is incredible!
I was nervous to leave my dress, but I know it is in great hands! And each time she took in a little stitch, my dress got more beautiful. I can’t wait to pick it up!
Here are a couple of pictures as Susan was literally sewing on a hook and eye as I was in the dress! (and isn’t it convenient that my hair trial was that morning? 
)
