very pretty dress, and it looks great on you!

and of course, i love the bolero



i'm sure your seamstress will think of this, but just in case:

*** have her attach a little hook & thread loop on either side of your bust-line to keep the bolero jacket attached to the dress. this way it won't slide off your shoulders, it will stay in the perfect position all night long ***

Oh thank you so much! I will tell her that my first fitting is at the end of January.


THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR KIND WORDS!
They have to take in the dress about 1 1/2 but I am not sure since she kinda just clipped it and I didn't see how much she clipped. I had lost 25lbs since the day I got measured. I hope to drop some more by the end of Jan. She said the most was in my waist and that I had to buy a new bra because the one I had purchased is to high in the back so now I have to find a very low back bra. Plus my boobs were not supported in my original bra due to weight loss and the thing was loose on me.

The jacket fit EXACTLY perfect. If I gain or drop it will have to be adjusted because it really needs no alterations. It was also supposed to be a 3/4 length sleeve but they did soo much deatail on the edging I do not want them to cut it up to adjust it so I am keeping it long sleeve.

I have to admit my shoes are too dark for the dress. I thought they might of ordered the wrong color and it was white but it is ivory just the lace is very light compaired to the satin underneath and I matched the shoes to the satin. Not a big deal though.

The shocker was the veil. I always wanted a mantilla but after looking at the jacket and seeing the detail they put into it I was like I can not have any lace on my veil or anything crazy it will be too much. I even thought of no veil but something made me want one. So I put two on and I liked the second because it was the most simple and it was kinda cool to have it poofy.

Thank you all again!
