Dress Crisis 2009

So, I'm having the dreaded second thoughts about my dress. I had it altered by a very nice seamstress in Atlanta, and thought I could check "Get Dress Altered" off my list. But, sadly, the wedding gown gods do not like me. My friend here in Tuscaloosa, Laura, broke the news to me when I tried it on for her last week. "It's a little big in the boob area," she said. "You could fit a couple of pair of socks in there."

But no big deal, right? Just get it altered. So, I take it to the alterations place down the street here in Tuscaloosa, and the woman looks at her calendar and explains to me that the earliest she can have it ready is April 17. Apparently, it is prom season and the store is busy. We leave town heading for Athens only three business after that date, so that doesn't leave much room for any further alterations if they are needed.

So, all in all, I don't feel cute in my dress yet. And you want to feel cute in your wedding gown. I hope and pray it fits like it is supposed to when I pick it up.

I would post pictures, but Gentry is reading this blog. Sorry:)
