1st dress fitting (Hayley Paige/Dori dress) & didn't have a meltdown

Shannon, on February 27, 2016 at 9:07 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 36

I was super anxious going to my first fitting today, because I knew that the dress was going to be tight. So, the fact that I didn't end up curled up in the fetal position is a total win!! She was able to get the top closure together, but it was a tight fit. Looking at the photos now, I almost like the look of it not being closed, but would need to hide that waist closure that shows. If I wear it closed, she'll let it out a bit and also add a closure where it gaps. The seamstress also wants to hem the front, but I'm 5'11, will be wearing heels and felt like the length was fine. I will be wearing my hair either half up/half down or all the way down.

    What a beautiful gown! I think the back looks fine either way, so go with what is most comfortable. I agree you shouldn't get it hemmed, that skirt is meant to cascade all the way down to the floor!

    The dress is gorgeous! I'm a fan of organza, and I love flowing ball gowns. I agree no hem necessary. I'm 5'9 and my heels are 4", so my dress doesn't need to be hemmed.

    You look gorgeous! That last photo is seriously cute. Did you bring your heels with you? Next time put them on with the dress to make sure the length is right.

    @sprezz I did have my shoes on, I really think it was fine without any alteration. Also she pinned to bustle the back, but really its only the top layer that would bustle, so it wouldn't really make it easier to dance in and I'm thinking its also not necessary. I'm going to call them on Monday to discuss. Here's me trying to show off my shoes Smiley smile

    Stunning. You look beautiful! Not that it makes much difference, but I see the appeal with it not being done up. I really like the long "v" shape it makes, and you have the back to pull it off!
