If you've been reading for awhile you'll remember that I got my dress 50% off, off the rack, at a sample sale this winter. Additionally, since I'm the perfect height for wedding dresses (5'10") if I was able to dropped an inch or two around my hips, I wouldn't have to make any alternations to the dress (read: not spend more money)... which was my goal.
Well... let me tell you! lol When I got the dress shop I was introduced to their seamstress (is this P.C. any more? I don't know... alterationist? lol) who was going to be helping me into the gown. As she was cinching up the back she asked how it felt. I told her that it was fine... and then I mentioned that I'd just dropped some weight and was really looking forward to seeing how it fit. THAT is when she made my day! She said:
"It actually looks like we may have to take it IN a little bit"
Take it IN! Not let it OUT! No mention about the hips at all!!!!! Now, while I liked the idea of not having to pay for alternations, I LOVE the idea that if alterations need to be made it's because I'm too SMALL... NOT too big!! Woo hoo!!
P.S. I loved my dress more yesterday than I did the day I bought it... I think maybe because I wasn't trying to make a decision... just enjoying myself in it. =)
I just had to share =)
that must feel good! i'm a little nervous about trying mine on again!
ReplyDeleteWay to go! I know the feeling, and it’s awesome! :)
