Putting dress over your head

Ok, the next thing to be obsessed over. How do I get my dress over my head the day of the wedding when my hair and makeup is done. I have a Maggie dress with the corset and don't think that I can get the dress on by stepping into it. I have to check again at my next fitting. Ugggh, another thing to worry about. Any suggestions? My mom said to take some extra toule that I have and put that over my head lightly and that would help. HELP!!!

I think that's where other people come in - aren't they supposed to help you put on your dress. I think basically you just stand there with your arms up and the CAREFULLY put it on for you and you stand there......for a girl that used to hide in the girls locker room in fear of anyone even seeing her in her underwear, this freaks me out a bit!!

I went the other way and steped into my dress. I did the same thing when I used the restroom - a quick step out of the dress (with the help of my MOH) and step back in. It was much easier than dealing with makeup smears etc.

Uggh, there is so much crinoline etc and it is heavy I can't imagine this. I am going to pray that my hips fit in the dress by stepping in. I am not a big person but the waist is really small. I am NOT looking forward to this.

i always fear about this also.
my makeup i am not worried about because JN will be there to touch anything up, I just hope none come off on my dress & I hope my hair stays put
