Dress Fitting # ??

Okay, so I've lost count of how many times I've gone to Tina's to do a fitting for my wedding dress. I know this is bad and that I should know, but does it really matter in the grand scheme of things? Probably not. Let me start out with saying what didn't happen at the fitting today. We did not do any draping of the fabric.

In fact, Tina decided to redo the bodice and rethink the support structure of the dress. We decided to make some substantive changes to the straps, which in turn make changes to the bodice. I may also end up doing "recon" on how the skirt attaches to the dress we are using as a base for the design. Any takers on coming with me?

On the bright side, it is a good thing that we did this fitting. Apparently, all that working out over break really paid off! She had to take the bodice in by 1/2 an inch as well as adjusting other things that may have shrunk . . . I have 2 more pounds to go, but I doubt there will be any more changes in the trunk area—at least I hope not! Tina basically told me I'm not allowed to change weight. That's a lot of pressure considering the weddings in AUGUST! My next fitting is Feb. 4, so I'll be sure to post an update then.

Tina promises that we will be doing the draping VERY SOON at which point I'll post pictures again (doesn't seem like there's much of a point right now). Also, for this fitting and the next, my bmaids are off the hook as far as coming with me, which I'm sure they've appreciated!
