My Dress is in! "Flash"

BearFeb2016, 15 October, 2015 at 10:56 Posted on Planning 0 27

So after 3 LONG months and a couple of wobbles, my dress is finally in! Going to try it on Tuesday next week, but question to those of you who've had the first try on when it's come to the shop! Do i need to have my underwear and shoes sorted?

    Any decent underwear will do. For instance if you know your dress needs a strapless bra best to take one. 'The' shoes aren't important till you start fittings. If you don't have the shoes yet then something a similar height to what you want will give you a better idea of the final look.

    exciting! Enjoy Tuesday!

    It's so exciting isn't it, I'm off for my first fitting on Monday!! I can't wait, would be interested to know this - I have some shoes to try with the dress as I'm not sure they'll suit the dress!!! ?

    When is your wedding? Xxxx

    I'm scared i must admit, I don't think the website at all does the dress justice, and been totally wobbly because of this! My weddings February- not too long to go! Yours?

    I think in general wedding dresses look better on brides than the models on the website. I love my dress but the website pic? I wouldn't even have gone to try it on!

    And you ordered it because you loved it. Tuesday will reinforce that.

    Im January 6th. My dress hasn't had it's alterations yet but I bought a sample so I have it here already.

    I'm 4th June, my dress is in really early!! I'm a little nervous also I must admit! I was in between sizes bottom half a 10, top half an 8 so I have had to order the 10! I know it's going to be a bit big on top and worried I won't have that wow moment!! I know it will be altered to fit perfectly but just want it to be perfect now! hehe!

    I agree with Jayne I don't think they look as good on the models oddly, I have the photo on my phone and when I look at it I always think it looks better in person!

    Cant wait to hear how you get on! Xxx

    Well I'm a little worried as i'm between sizes too at the moment! I'm heavier on the bottom than on the top, but they've ordered me an 8- maybe its the cut of the dress- but I would have thought they would go for a 10 and take in as required!

    I'm sure they know what they are doing. They do this all day every day. Try not to panic I'm sure it's going to be gorgeous.

    Exactly what Jayne said they know what they are doing, it will be fabulous, I just try and remember how I felt when I had it on and it helps any nervous feelings go away. Xxx

    Shoes can be sorted right after the fitting as you'd only know what's suitable once you've tried it on. as for the underwear, i go for something high waisted just to make sure there aren't unnecessary bumps in the way haha, that's just me Smiley smile

    It was amazing!! I am still in love, it is a little bit too big in places but nothing that can't be fixed!! My shoes match so was happy with that. I'm going back in March, for a full fitting and they'll start the alterations then so I have time to lose a few inches!!

    Good Luck with yours, can't wait to hear how it goes, it will be fabulous xxx

    Yay! Glad it went well!

    My Same! Didn't have to worry at all! Shoes went perfectly too! Want to start my fittings early because the Christmas break will affect how many fittings I can get in but they weren't too keen to start too early but December is a write off for me due to my career (a little too much socialising) so have to start in Nov :/

    Yey!!! So glad yours went well too, it's so exciting!!

    I think my first fitting is about 8 weeks before the wedding, I can't believe in March it'll only be 8 weeks to go, with Christmas coming I think the time will just fly by ?
