The past month, I have been visiting the kindest and most talented seamstress! The lovely lady is Dottie and she has worked on hundreds (if not thousands) of dresses and can do anything… and I mean anything. So any other brides out there… or mothers of the bride, mothers of the groom, bridesmaids, grandmothers, friends, ect… If you need the contact information for someone who can work some serious magic, just let me know and I will pass it along!!!

So the update on my experience: not much needed to be done to my dress… Dottie shortened it (all six layers), tucked in the bodice a bit and put in a three-point over bustle. Tonight was my “final” fitting… and let me tell you, the fit couldn’t have been any more perfect. I can’t wait to show everyone on August 20th!! Next week, she will have to cleaned and pressed for me to pick up!
You may be thinking “5 months is a little early”… and I agree. It is a little early. Good think I’m done growing and I am not well endowed 
The next several months are sure to be busy for both myself and for Dottie… she should be having a heavy influx of prom dresses, wedding dresses, ect starting in just a few short weeks. To save us both the headache, now just made the most sense.
