Second Fitting

July 23rd, 2007 @ 4:15 pm by Mrs. Lime

It fits like a glove! I am so glad as I have horrible visions of SDBG (that’s Strapless Dress Boob Gap) in my head, especially since I have virtually no chest. Now all she has left to do is do the bustle and steam it. I’ll pick it up a few days before the wedding.

With the detachable train [how I’ll wear it for the ceremony]:

[Not me. It’s the bride from whom I bought the dress.]

Without the detachable train, unbustled [how I’ll wear it for pre-ceremony photos]. The sweep train on my dress is a little bit longer.

[Again, not me. This is knottie ctnjbride. Unfortunately, she no longer has a bio up.]

The front. Yes, that is finally me in my actual dress.

[I had to hide the no-makeup face. Bleh.]

The back, bustled [how I will wear it for the reception].

[Hmm...that left elbow is mighty ashy. Time for some exfoliation. The top of the back was still hand basted, so it’ll be cleaner when the dress is done.]

Eeeeeeee!  I feel so bridal and comfortable in my dress.  I am so excited to wear it in a couple of weeks.  Stay tuned for a full review of the tailor to come after I pick up my dress.

Did you use Mahtab? That mirror and dresser pic is very popular on the OC Knottie Boards. Where is she located?

Jennifer, yes I did. I just didn’t post it as I am hesitant to review a vendor until everything is fully complete. You can find her information on weddingalterations.com. She is located in Lake Forest, just an exit or so south past Irvine Spectrum.
