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.
hey tater - i love the dress! and it looks so amazing on you! can’t wait to see the dress on you on your big day!!! i think the profile + back are my favorite shots!
Ooh, that’s a lovely dress. incredibly regal. looks great on you and i’m sure it’ll look even better with an unblurred head.
