Boy, oh boy! I am getting closer to the moment when my dress is supposed to be arriving. The bridal salon should be calling me sometime within the next two weeks to say, “Hello, Miss Waffle, your dress has arrived. Would you love to come down to the salon to try it on, drool all over it and squeal until you faint?”

AHHHHH! It’s killing me!

Honestly, I am having two types of dreams that are keeping me up at night in regards to all this dress excitement/anxiety.

In the awesome dream, I go to Alexia Gavela, put on my dress and I look super fierce. Blindingly fierce! No alterations need to be done because it is so darn perfect. I skip out of the store and take it home with a big smile on my face.

In the not-so-awesome dream, when I try on my dress, it won’t zip all the way up because my waist is too big by 1 stupid inch! The alterations lady yells at me for ordering a dress that is too small, tells me there is no seam allowance to let it out and I get depressed. Guilty “howdidigainsomuchweight” speak runs through my head. Holiday weight? Too much cheese? Too much beer? Then, I go home and eat too much cheese and drink too much beer (because I’m depressed) and all hope is reallllllly lost.

So, all that to say…

I am not sleeping well, and would that damn dress just get here already?!?

Is anyone else out there experiencing antsy, sleepless, wedding dress excitement/anxiety? Or am I just a crazy lady?

Fear not Miss Waffle! Most dresses have a 1 inch seam allowance- meaning- you’ve got a solid 2 inches of hip to add before worrying. :0)

I will have dress anxiety for the next 7 months! I ordered in Aug when I was at my slimmest and the dress came in and fit perfectly in the waist…which means I can not gain anything before the wedding. At my first fitting after Christmas the little holiday weight made it a struggle to get that inner corset closed!

I got the call last week and pick mine up on Saturday…and I’m terrified it’s going to be too small!

Every single reputable dress no matter what size has already built into it the ability to be taken in two sizes or let out one size. Never fear!! First of all, a little belly fat can be squeezed in! Secondly, New dresses are always a little tight because they’ve never been worn by anyone! I am sure you will be just fine!

Hey! That’s where I got my dress from as well! They were so helpful and patient with me. I ended up finding it during the sample sale they had in December. I’m just waiting for the timing to be right for me to take it in to start alterations! Looking forward to hear how it all goes for you! Did you consider their bridesmaid dresses at all?

First fitting for me is on Saturday, and I’m going to be positively swimming in my dress because I’ve lost 20 pounds since I tried on the sample, and we ordered a size up from that just in case!

Gonna give their seamstress a run for her money!

My dress is the ONLY thing that is causing me major anxiety - not because of sizing (I know it’s going to fit me big) but because it’s not in yet. It was supposed to have arrived mid January & now they’re telling me the shipping date is February 3. Our wedding is in April, so it better be in before Valentine’s Day. I ordered it in June dangit! Breathe Panda Breathe..lol

So, I feel ya Miss Waffle…
