I can't even believe I'm posting this!!

Please tell me I don't look like a snow-beast! The veil is poofier than it should be because it been folded up in a box since June...

I also did a hair trial today but you can barely tell because I forced her to do the curls way too loose because I'm paranoid about having those too-perfect shirley temple curls.

But, the fitting went well. I am having the neckline changed to a contessa neckline (what you see in the pics) because the original neckline is just a plain scoop and I felt too covered up.

They have to take in everything! The arms the waist, darts, shoulders... so as you can imagine, I reached my cap I was hoping I'd get off easy on the alterations because I noticed that I didn't need a hem.

Is the slip/crinoline poofy enough or should I go bigger??

You look beautiful!! You look so slim in that dress. Definetly not a snow beast

I don't think you need more crinoline.
