nervous first dress fitting Sat

drifter, 9 February, 2010 at 16:43 Posted on Planning 0 19

So my dress is being made and this sat I am off ot have my first fitting nI am very very nervous as I have never seen the dress, the lady making it is basing it on two of her designs I loved when I was in the shops. Arrggghh I know I can make changes if it isn't right but I want to at least like it I spent ages looking and dress and couldnt find one I loved hench going down this route and now I'm excited to see it but scared it still won't be right.

Any others who had their dresses made how did you cope?

    Ladies thank you for the kind words of reassurance

    arrgghhh it is driving me a little bit crazy, trying to distract my self with work and other wedding planning as I know untill i see the dress I don't really know how I will feel.

    Vickstix how did it go?

    I'm sure it'll be fine but you can always have changes made.

    Hi Drifter,

    It was so good. We decided the fabric to use to give me the layered look i was after and tried the first mock up top section. sorry no photos yet. I'll take them in june at first proper fitting. Trying to lose weight before the big day. My dress lady said no point even making a proper mock up until i'm closer to the weight i want to be as it could change the whole look of the dress.


    This is the dress we're kinda copying! it's a pronovia. hopefully it'll turn out ok.

    good luck for urs Saturday x

    can't wait to see mine (sort of will get to decide various details at first fitting like material for the bodie and if I want staps or not all ver nerve wrcking but exciting.

    Will try and get photos but no promises I am very camera shy.

    Don't worry, you're bound to be nervous and excited but it will be fine!! Just be honest with how you would like it when you try it on and say if there is anything you are unsure about.

    ....and take piccies!!!!

    Hi Vickstix

    Appint was fine no photos as dress is no where near doen yet just got sizing somewher close to reasonable. going back at the end of April with shoes (well as long as I have some by then) so can sort out the length and my dress maker is going to find some antique lace samples so I can choose some lace for the bodice although right now I am tempted to leave the drss as it is.

    Currrently debating weather I will need something to keep my shoulders warm while traveling as the wedding is the first of Oct.

    Very excited as we went to see our first florist on Sat to so just waiting for a quote now.

    How are your plans going?

    You will be fine me dear! remember it may not look like the finished article (my first fitting my dress was just a bit of fabric!) and take this opportunity to say what you want amended/added onto it...remember its made for you, it could not be any more perfect!

    Cant wait to see it so please flash if you can x

    P.S SHOEY *chants* flash flash flash!

    Hi Drifter,

    Plans are going really well. I'm not getting married til September so got a little time but we've done transport, cake, venues, photographer, jewellery, shoes oh and we've booked the caterer. We're hiring a hall so had to get everything seperately inc table hire etc but the caterer is doing that for us. Smiley winking

    Just got outfits to do and flowers. Hopefully know what my dress look like in June. I'm losing weight so she doesnt want to make it too soon and then have to alter the entire thing!
