Nervous Nelly

I'm so nervous. Today I have an appointment at the dress store to inspect my dress - IT ARRIVED! About 2 months earlier than I thought it would. But here it is and here I am mildly freaking out. What if we did the measurements wrong? What if I finally see it - a dress that actually comes close to my real measurements and not the size 4 joke dresses I had to imagine myself in - what if I see it and don't like the dress anymore? What if it arrives and looks like this picture? Actually, with my love of Purple I probably would love it - the future hubby not so much :)

But in reality it's fine - there are seamstresses just for the reason of wedding gowns that don't quite fit right. They turn hems that are too long, zippers that don't lay flat, bodices that reveal too much or too little, into amazing pieces of fashion. It will be fine.

I think I'm also a little freaked out because seeing myself in the dress for the first time will finally be the first time I feel like a bride. Sorry, holding a dress up to myself or only having it half zipped because the sample comes no where near close to fitting a normal body is NOT the time to feel like a bride. This will be "my" time.

And ultimately whether it's perfect as is or needs major work - I'm still getting married!

Stay tuned tomorrow, I'll let you know how it goes!
