WAH WAH WAH I'm a whiny b1tch!!!

Sorry, I feel a little better now.

The dress is def too short for me to wear heels. But you know what? I'm nervous enough about tripping all over myself so flats or a tiny heel are probably a better bet anyway. And I'm hoping the poofy-weirdness of it will be fixed once it hasn't been sitting stuffed in a bag.

I think once the top is fixed and you have a smaller slip it will look amazing! It's a very pretty dress!

#1 You are crazy! Your dress is beautiful and you look fabulous in it!
#2 Have you considered that with less poof under the dress, the dress will be longer and you will be able to wear higher heels?
#3 I hated my dress when I went to try it on after it came in. I ordered a size 12 because when I tried on the size 8 in the store, I couldn't zip it all the way. I could zip it up to my ribs and then it was too tight but I loved the way it looked in the store because my stomach looked so small in it. Thats the main reason why I bought it lol! The ladies at the store convinced me to get a size 12 instead of a size 10 which I probably could have fit because my rib cage is large (which is great because its not like I can lose a rib.... ) Anyway, I was soooooo disappointed when I went back and tried on the 12 because it wasn't the same magic as when the dress was tight. I was like swimming in this one so it lost its luster. I went home feeling like I made a bad decisions and... surprise surprise.... vented about it on this board. Everyone promised me that I was going to feel differently when I saw it again and I did! I expected it to look bad and when I put it on again (when I went to find a veil to go with it... which I LOVE)... I feel in love with it again... huge and all. This time, I could see the potential in the dress and realize that when it is fitted, it will look how I want it to. So don't worry... we all have that panic moment...

Thanks girls - the dress itself actually has a lot of crinoline so the slip was not even necessary. But even without it I feel like it's a little too big. Do you think they'd be able to take a layer of crinoline out or should I be worried that that would ruin the whole dress?
