Fitting # 3

Today I had my 3rd fitting with Tina. She has to help me into the top (see left). We nailed down the shape of the neckline and backline so she can start making the more solid piece to which she will attach the boning. I made the front and the back a little lower than we had talked last time - why not show off the goods? I like the look of a v-line in the back and front as opposed to some thing more sweetheart shaped.

I paid the second deposit today as well, which is REALLY exciting because that means that she is purchasing fabric!! The next fitting will begin the draping of my fabric (silk taffeta) and looking at proportions. The fittings will now be with my wedding shoes on too. Unfortunately, this means no more Uggs. (See pictures below). The next fitting will be in early December right after Thanksgiving. The good thing about having all these fittings is that I have motivation to WORK OUT. The motivation hasn't worked so far, but I'm holding out hope... :P A funny side note about that is when Stephanie was helping me into the bustier - She was using all her muscle strength and noticeably struggling, which made me think, "Geez, I have to work out." Turns out that she was trying to get it on the smallest hook-and-eye. Needless to say, trying to undo that was much harder!

Three of my b-maids were able to come - my 3 local ladies - and it was a lot of fun to share this with them. They were my papparazzi and fashionistas! I truly value their opinions, and I'm glad that they could take time from studying and see the dress creation.Yay! Dress!

Picking the placement of the straps is serious business.

Neckline.

Backline.
Uggs are classy.
