Picking up my Gown.....

Ok,

My Gown is going to be ready later today to be picked up from Davids (figures it would be lousy out!)

I had one fitting and she pinned up the shoulders and pinned in the waist, had a bead to fix, stuff like that. She seemed pretty nice but she said that I "Dont need a second fitting". "Just come back to the store on Feb 18th at this time and it will be ready to just take home".

Wouldn't you rather try it on in the store, then get it all the way home and find out it needed another alteration? I say do whatever makes you feel comfortable!! I would try it on because the woman will be there in front of you, instead of having to schlep it all the way back there again. Also, if the only time you will be able to see yourself in full garb is at the store, take everything with you to get the full efect! I would even take a polaroid with you if you have one to take a "before" and "after" picture! Have fun with this. You don't want to have any regrets!

You would be nuts if you didn't try it on - think about it. The dress has been changed since you last wore it....You need to know that she made the changes and that it fits right!

Its not neurotic - its good business sense. : )

You should also get pre-approved for a mortgage because the housing situation is so crazy on Long Island, it's on the market for an hour and already has 5 bids on it...no joke. You must remember, you and your fiancee are now one entity and no matter how you busted your butt to have a good credit rating, his/hers counts just as much and if it's not very good, you need time to work those things out. We're learning this first-hand.

I tried mine on when I picked it up. I was afraid it wasn't as I remembered! (now THATS neurotic!) I bought my dress at davids too....and I have a seamstress that is going to do the alterations. I tried it on in her home so she could see it...It'll all work out!!!

We are keeping our fingers crossed. our date is 7/2/00. keep us in your prayers!
