First Fitting

June 8th, 2007 @ 4:15 pm by Mrs. Lime

Last weekend, I scheduled an appointment to get a quote for alterations to my gown.  Because this tailor is located so far from where I work (over 50 miles) and live (over 20 miles), I just wanted to get a quote while I was in her ’hood.  However, she was so knowledgeable, sweet, and reasonably priced that this lazy bride ended up leaving her dress there.  I am so over doing thorough research for each vendor and each purchase, especially as the date is creeping up on us way too quickly.  I had planned on getting quotes from two others, but I’m over driving all over SoCal just to find the best price.

Because it was so unexpected and I was alone, no pictures of the fitting. Sorry! It pretty much still looks like this, just with the bodice (especially chest area) pinned to fit.

I promise photos from my second fitting in about a month, as it will most likely be the last fitting before I pick the gown up. I’ll post a full review of the tailor after the wedding.

I really like this dress on you. The front is great, and the train is awesome! Really makes a statement without overwhelming petite ? you.

What kind of quote did you get from the nice seamstress for what work? If its not ridiculous, maybe just go with her? I know one is supposed to shop around but there are times when if you get a decent offer life it is just worth the lack of hassle to go and have it done.
