I went for my second fitting yesterday and they bustled up the gown - I love how the bustle looks! My only problem is the dress is sooooo heavy - any advice other brides who have heavy gowns??

Thanks, everyone! The dress is heavy like, hot heavy and a little weighing me down heavy. I'll get a workout wearing it all night, but I can't wait!!

if its really heavy you should get the waist done very tight so it doesn't fall as you dance

OMG!!! That's so funny!!! Every time I'm in there I want to ask the other brides if they're on LIW. Your BM dresses are so pretty too, and it looked great on your BM who was there!

I always want to ask but never do-and funny thing I said to her 'i think she is on LIW' but I wasnt sure!

It's such a small LIW world!! When I got home, FH asked if it was busy and I was like, 'no, there was only one other girl and her BM there.' He goes, 'Oh, is she one of your LIW friends?' and I told him I didn't ask. I was wondering when your wedding was too. I need to stop being so shy and just ask! (But I knew you were also busy making sure the dresses looked right!).
