Mrs. Poodle's Picture
Mrs. Poodle, Santiago, Chile/San Bernardino, CA Age and Occupation: 27, Industrial & Web Designer Fiance's Age and Occupation: 24, Firefighter & Mountain Patrol Engagement Date: February 25, 2009 Wedding Date: January 2010 Venue: Mr. P's Grandparents’ Ranch About Me: I’m a Chilean girl who's crazy about nature and swimming. I enjoy carving, drawing, reading and sewing; I drool over computers, fabric, pretty paper, purple and patterns. To me, chocolate should be one of the seven wonders, right next to lemon pie. I never thought an exchange work experience program was going to change my life forever, but while working in California, I met Mr. Poodle, and ever since my days are better and brighter. We are two goofy souls that, after finding each other, couldn’t help but want to be together forever. It has being a long and sometimes hard road, since we have to deal with such a long distance between us, but we are now facing the last stage of our Fiancé Visa, and soon we will be together. You know the best part? We will be married! So I’ll be blogging from Chile until just a few months before our “green and purple” wedding.
About Mrs. Poodle

… That was what everyone was asking me the week before the wedding. Yeah, I knew I needed to finish my dress.

As I shared before, because of my little boobilicious problem, I decided to tear my dress apart and make it a little more comfortable. After all, I was planning on dancing until sunrise.

This is what my dress looked like for a week!


Yeah, that’s just the bottom! I cut the top part off and let out the waist so that I could actually breathe!

I added some more crochet to the top and the bottom edges so my boobs could get a little more coverage. :)

And then I was ready for my final fitting! For this fitting I was not wearing the underskirts because they were being cleaned.

It was also time to decide what kind of sash I was going to wear, because I love sashes! I tried one where I tied it in the front but it just didn’t look right to me.

I liked the idea of having a simple sash, and maybe a flower. smile01

Even though the main problem was solved, my two friends were still kind of exposed, but I decided I was just going to alter the bra a little bit so they fit better.

And while I was all excited trying on my wedding dress, Curly was passed out on the floor! I thought he was going to be excited to see his Mom getting ready for the wedding!

For the sash I decided to make one with Velcro and covered the Velcro with a satin flower.

I found a vintage button with little a little sparkle! it was the perfect accent for my sash! smile01 Thanks to Mr. Poodle’s aunt, who gave me a huge jar with TONS of buttons.

So, it took me longer than I thought it would to finally finish my dress, but at least it fit me comfortably. :)

How close to your wedding date was your final fitting?
