Lesson Learned: Never Go To A Dress Fitting Alone

I'm doing lots of crazy things to my wedding dress which means lots of trips to the seamstress. That's why I didn't have a second thought about scheduling an appointment in the middle of the week after work. No problem, I'll just run in, check the progress, get measured for the next adjustment and be out in no time. Yes, I brought a friend to my first "fitting," which essentially consisted of me putting on the dress and holding it up because it didn't fit my body at all. But she was there for moral support - just in case - for the first pinning. Yesterday was the second pinning. It didn't go as well. Hence, lesson number 2:

Always bring someone to Oooo and Ahhh over you during wedding dress fittings.

It's stressful.  It's traumatic.  It makes you second-guess your dress pick, your body, what you ate last night.  Hear me when I tell you that you need someone to assure you that you look great!

After second-guessing my dress, wondering if the dress will still fit in <4 months, trying on a veil with jeans because I forgot to mention it while the dress was still on, and overall freakin' out, I came home last night to a glass of wine and a hot bath.  I'm now proud to report that my next appointment is on a Saturday and this time, I will bring assurance.  I advise you to do the same.

Big shout-out to my wonderfully supportive friends who answered my calls last night and listened to me vent!
