First fitting done!

Laura, on September 11, 2019 at 5:28 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 10

Just got back from my first fitting at David's Bridal, and it could not have gone better! I was worried about the cost after reading some of the horror stories here, but everything I need was very affordable. I had noticed late that the consultant had ordered a dress smaller than she was supposed to, so I was a bit afraid, but it fit almost perfect. I guess all the walking and watching what i'm eating is paying off!

I did almost fall off the podium in my heels though LOL....I think i've mentioned i'm not what you'd call "graceful" even though I got a chunkier heel for stability I almost fell face first! I didn't...I ended up taking them off and having her place the hem pins as though I was wearing flats since I plan to wear them at the reception. If my heels show a bit it's ok because my shoes are CUTE.

I was a bit bummed though that I had to go to the appointment alone. I shouldn't be shocked though since i've done most everything wedding related alone. I don't drive and nearly had to walk home 7 miles. My nephew stepped up though and gave me a ride. He sat in the parking lot though. I"m trying to not dwell on being alone though. I loved how the dress looked. Just a bit tight, but it's got a corset back so it's all good!

    Glad the fitting went so well!! It sucks that you had to do it alone but its probably better than too many opinions coming at you. That was nice of your nephew. Of course he stayed in the parking lot, he's a guy! I think they break out in hives in any women's dress stores 🤣🤣🤣
    I hope you post a pic of the dress when its done.

    I’m so sorry you have to do many things alone! From the sound of it you are rocking it regardless. Do you mind if I ask what is being done and how much you paid? I thought about going to David’s but changed my mind when I heard The horror stories. I’m wary of my seamstress because she doesn’t want me to bring my dress in until November. She said my alterations will not take longer than 3 weeks. (Breast support, taking the dress out a bit, and bustle)

    Congratulations on it fitting perfectly! I too went alone to both of my fittings, I was a little upset but it couldn't be helped. Just focus on the positive side of things whenever you're feeling a little down

    I'm glad your fitting went well! That's really sweet of your nephew to give you a lift, even if he didn't go in. Maybe next time!

    I've having a bustle done, having the dress let out just a touch because of the consultant order the wrong size, having it hemmed. It ended up being right about 225
