• Second Fitting

  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.
