    Last Friday I posted here about how nervous I was for my 1st fitting. I had read so many stories about doubt, and stirred emotions that I was scared silly. Even though I knew I love my dress I was an emotional mess & hadn't seen it in 7 months.

    Seeing and wearing my dress for the first time in 7 mths I fell in love all over again. The dress was quite big and you can see its getting taken in along the sides, plus butt, an inch is coming off under the arm, and its being made into a sweetheart neckline which is why there are two pins in the middle - thats marking the lowest point!

    Here are some pix - - eeeeek!

    1st Dress Fitting was GREAT - - Pix Included :  wedding dress DF09

    The 1 thing I can say that I'm feeling sad about - - this fitting went by super fast which did indeed give me a dose of reality for how fast the big day is going to go by...
