I had my final dress fitting today, and my dress fits like a glove.... No pinching, no sucking in, and no spanx!!
The 30-minute pinning was worth it for the hem. My orange shoes peek out just a bit when I walk, but you can't see them at all when I'm standing still (which I'm sure my mother and mother-in-law will be happy about). Also, because of the hem, the train looks a bit longer -- an unexpected bonus.
This is great news for another reason: I've decided to wear my ceremony dress the entire day. Lu and I have been slacking on our swing dancing, so I don't need the shorter dress anymore. (I sold it on Craigslist a few days ago.) It was cute, but I'm nowhere near as in love with it as I am with my wedding dress.
BUT there is another twist (c'mon, you guys should expect this by now): Since we're doing an after-party, I got a new, sexy getaway dress that I'm going to slip into right before our final dance. It looks exactly like the dress below, but it's shorter -- just above the knee.
It's a BCBG dress and, even on clearance, was pricier than my wedding dress (well, that actually wasn't too hard)! However, it was so beautiful and perfect for me to party in on my first night as a newlywed. :-)
