1st Dress Fitting

Today we had the first wedding dress fitting with Monica, the one who is doing the alterations to my mother's wedding dress. We told her what we wanted to do to modernize it and she said that she could do it all very easily. I'm so excited to finally know that the dress will be able to be altered to look modern and fit me perfectly! I'm so confident in Monica and I know it will look absolutely beautiful when she is done with it. She is going to take measurements and start altering late this summer when she finishes her sewing room in her home. For now I'm satisfied that everything is going to work out. Another good note: We bought a Spanks type thing to thin me in the dress and it worked very well. It made my waist line look so good. We also experimented with the length of the veil and decided fingertip length would be best to go with the dress. It was such a nice day! My aunts and cousin came to see the dress and give their opinions. We had a small lunch, chocolate cake, and mimosas! It was great girl time and I felt like the bride to be!
