My first dress fitting

[nenamono]

Finally pics of my first dress fitting a couple of weeks ago, my 2nd fitting in next week. I was so excited to finally put it on. Pictures were taken after he pinned the hem so you can see the scallop on the front part of the dress. So far no major alterations. I think Im going to ask to have the top taken in though a lot of empty space that I dont think I will miracuously be filling in anytime soon.

Please ignore the comical look on my face its hard to smile properly when several family members are lurking at you hehe.

The front:

 

The back:

 

I lurked the streets of Manhattan for several weeks to find the ribbon in the color and width I wanted (to match my shoes of course). The only place that had it (Phew) was M&J Trimming. I may end up using the ribbon that came with the dress for me and my BM bouquet.

 

And here are my shoes, close enough match dontcha think?:

 

Oh and thats not my veil I was trying to figure out length (im going for elbow), my mother is making it for me. Im super excited about that. I have been lurking the streets again to find lace trim.

I got a shiver when I saw your dress - I came down to two and had a hard time deciding - your dress was one of them! You look absolutely stunning! Perhaps we are twins in another life - same hotel and same dress!
