First Fitting! Pics in Album

Original post by PeteysBride

So today was my first dress fitting. Aside from a minor freak-out when I was told my dress might wrinkle in middle because it had no boning in it (sample was strapelss so I ordered the dress thinking it was that way and turns out comes with STRAPS and without them, needs additional -cue more expensive- alterations to add boning to sides so it stays up) everything went fine. They will add the boning and though we still have to pay for it, I would rather do that then argue and have them do something to my dress.

After many long battles with veiling, I think I have settled on the one in the pic. It's simple, takes nothign away from the dress and it stays out of my face! That was the most important requirement. I am really unhappy with how lopsided I look, but cest la vie. One day I too shall be symmetrical!

What do you girls think of the whole look? The piece that you can't see too well on the side there, is the one ym MOH gave me. My hair WILL be style don the big day It wwas in a tiny ponytail today and it poofed from so many veils being put on and taken off.

First off, I honestly 100% think you look beautiful! I love that dress on you and I'm not sure if it's ivory or diamond white, but it's the perfect color with your skintone.

After all your trials and tribulations with veils, I gotta tell you I was rooting for the lace mantilla style veil, but I actually LOVE this veil with your dress! It's perfect. And the haircomb looks awesome with this veil.

One last thing - cut the lopsided talk! If you hadn't mentioned that I wouldn't have noticed!!! You look beautiful and will look even more so on your big day!

Love this pic of you:

Thanks guys! I am happy with it. That veil drama .. OYE! Back and forth, back and forth. I will likely stay with this one but mom liked the other one that unfortunately I didnt get pics of. Looks JUST like this, except has scattered pearls and beaded motiffs that mimic my headpiece. Only thing I didn't love about it was that it didn't have the scalloped edging. It fell straight. Anyone think that makes a differemce?

Thanks guys. Still torn about the veil because dont want to give the bridal shop more money-they screwed me with alterations. Went over the damn cap! HOW can that happen? Its a flippin CAP! But cant argue too much because dont want them to mess up my dress and then I'm out of luck!
