I had posted that I was unhappy with some things the seamstress had done after my second fitting, and was anticipating more problems on the third.
Anyway, I had my third (and final)! fitting on Thursday, and the dress is perfect. Really, really perfect. The seamstress fixed the things I pointed out last time. I am back to loving my dress!! Also, FMIL went with me, and I really appreciated her support. We chatted quite a bit that day, and I felt like I got to know her better than I have so far.
It's funny, I think my mood transfers to the dress at times. At the second fitting I was exhausted and tired of the whole planning bonanza. Maybe that affected the way I looked at the dress.
