The Dress Experience

Since Rita called me last night to tell me the first dress I tried on at David's Bridal was actually in the store with my size (!) I was excited! This morning I took my brother to class and my mom went to an Open House for one of our family friends. I told her that Rita called me last night and she said let's go! So I went by my parent's house and got my mom, cousin and brother.

We got there and the dress fitted like a glove. The lady gave me shoes to try on and then said that even with the shoes I needed to get it hemmed. I had looked online and noticed there were petite sizes so I inquired if we just order a petite size would I need to get it hemmed. The lady (not Rita) then asked another sales associate and she said that the dress would be better if I got a petite size. However, the saleslady was worried that since it fitted so well that I should just stay with the regular size and get it hemmed. However, she went to get the lady who did the alterations and with some measuring and her "expert eye" she explained that it was best to get a petite size because if I hemmed this one then it would look funny at the bottom.

So we did it! We ordered the dress, and got shoes, blusher, veil, and the tiara. The dress will be in December 30th and will take 2 months to alter. Which will give me plenty of time in case there are any hiccups! Let's cross our fingers that there aren't any!!! I can't wait and am SO relieved that I was able to find a dress that I love!
