I called my dress store about my wedding gown yesterday. the store''s computer says it should have shipped on the 14th. I should have called them earlier in the day so they could have called the company to see if it really did ship then- but the whole time zone thing made that not work since I called the shop at 3pm PST
worse still, the shop lady said another dress from that designer was supposed to ship with mine, but they were notified it got delayed and won''t ship until like the 28th!!!!!!
she said she''s gonna call the company monday and find out if it really did ship. if it''s coming all this way ground it could take more than a week to get here, so maybe it''ll get in before the end of next week, but....
THEY WERE WRONG!!!!!!!!!!
We got a call this morning (mom answered cuz I was still asleep) from the bridal shop. I guess the woman who usually does receiving had to go to have emergency surgery or something this week, so their shipments are rather disorganized. Turns out my dress IS in, it just hadn''t gotten marked with my name yet or something. But with the price of gas here, mom doesn''t want to go over with me just to see it unless we can meet with the seamstress at the same time, and I can''t do that on a weekend
So the dress is in, the veil is in, the extra yardage for the wrap is in and I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT FOR MY FIRST FITTING ON MONDAY AT NOON!!!!! Good thing I don''t have a job anymore cuz I''d have to be skipping it for this I''ve got my shoes, so I can get the hem done (did you know they only cut the extra fabric off the front of the dress when you have a train, not all the way around - whatever seamstress figured that out is a GENIUS...hehehe), and I''ll buy a bustier from them there at the store (they have a pretty good selection, and I''m a very normal size so they should be in stock). I have to have this all done before I leave Cali in a month, so we''re sort of in a rush, and the poor woman has to deal with the lace on my gown but she seems really good, she was there the one day I''d gone to pick this one out- they told us she used to be the official seamstress at Disneyland making all the princess gowns, how cool is that?
she''ll be making my wrap, and we''re gonna ask her for the extra fabric she cuts off the bottom of the dress to use to make a garter. my mom made hers, so she''s gonna help me. I''ll use the mocha satin to make a tube around some elastic, then sew the lace hanging down from the bottom. we''ll go get a locket or something at the jewelers
and I just made an appointment for a mani/pedi for tomorrow afternoon so I can see if I like red nail polish with the dress
so I''ll post pics on monday from my fitting YIPPEEEEEEEEE!!!
