    I had my first dress fitting yesterday!  I was super nervous going into it, since I've totally been slacking on exercising and eating right.  I've actually gained weight in the past few months!

    Luckily, the dress still fits, and they actually need to take it in a bunch at the bust and waist. :)

    Pardon the low quality pics - my camera is broken so we used a bridesmaid's camera phone.

    I love how tiny it makes my waist look! I'm a size 14/16 in real life, and I definitely feel much skinnier in this dress. :)

    We're doing a french bustle on it. Love it!

    We forgot to get full length pics of the front and of the full train in the back, so here's some pics from when I tried on the sample.  My dress is the same color as the sample dress, but you can see how totally different it looks with different lighting/cameras!  My dress is ivory, not as dark as it looks in the sample, and not as white as it looks in the fitting pics.

    Yours is one of my favorite dresses that I have seen among the boards.  It looks great on you!  I love the way the bustle turned out.  Very elegant. :)

    You look fantastic!  And definitely much smaller than the 14/16 you wear in everyday clothing!  I love ladies that flaunt their curves (my dress is a drop waist for that reason!) because they look SO good!
