Second Fitting

August 29th, 2008 @ 5:38 pm by Mrs. Cookie

On Tuesday I had my second and last fitting with Mahin at Anna Bè. Although, the alterations are perfect—nothing more to be done than press the wrinkles out—I got a little lump in my throat. The women at Anna Bè felt like my girlfriends and their service was top notch. After I pick up my dress, there will be no more wandering in to say hi, no more trunk shows, and no more perusing their amazing selection of dresses before a fitting. This makes me a little sad. For brides in the Denver metro area, I can’t recommend Anna Bè more highly!

No Mr. Cookies past this point!


I am not a Cookie that likes a puffy bustle, so when Mahin proposed the traditional bustle at my first fitting, I was sold. Here is Mahin pinning the bustle while Mama Cookie takes a photo so that we can remember how to teach my bridesmaids the process later.

The finished bustle.


Mama Cookie got this shot of the buttons, which is one of my FAVORITE features of the dress! I bought a crochet hook in order to expedite the process of buttoning, but Mahin suggested we ditch the hook for nimble, little fingers instead to avoid breaking the delicate eyelets. (Aunt Flo—remember my words of caution, because once I am in this dress I am not getting out of it until the end of the night!)

Mahin also did a fabulous job of giving the girls a little lift.
Now, she is off to be pressed, and she will arrive at my house week before the wedding. Wow, we are actually getting married!

Did you have a good experience with the bridal shop you purchased your dress from?

I love the dress, the cut and the buttons. And your bottom looks great. But I have a question: how are you going to go pee during the night?!

Very flattering dress. I’m all for dresses that show the beautiful curves of women.

I had a great experience with the shop I bought my dress from. I didn’t have them do the alterations because they were a little bit far from home, but I was so happy I found my dress there.

Despite being opposed to v-necks on myself, I honestly LOVE your dress! The low back looks incredible on you! And the buttons: perfect.

I didn’t even see the buttons at first because I was focusing on that curvy and cute little bottom of yours. I love the way she looks when she is bustled.

Miss Cookie, I went to Anna Be’ to visit Sara Gabriel’s veil shop (inside Anna Be’) Is that where you got your veil? I love some of her designs - especially Collette and Astyn. If not, where did you get your veil? I’m in Denver too, so any tips you could give me on that front would be greatly appreciated!
