First fitting pictures!

[MelissaSue]

Actually.. it may be my ONLY fitting.. I just needed a hem (a very expensive hem, at that.. the bottom lace is appliqued so that whole scallopping has to be taken off and sewn back on.. with allll the little beads and everything).. but it fits *perfectly*.. I''ve actually GAINED some weight.. so I''d like to lose a bit, but my dress fits really well even when I''m chunky! LOL.. and the dress being tight actually makes my waist look littler..

Anywho.. I have a bunch of pics.. my mom is a *TERRIBLE* photographer though.. so even with cropping, they''re pretty bad..
I''m attaching.. so they''ll have to be one by one!

First up.. the blusher.. The veil is SOOO wrinkly. Next time I go I will be doing my bridal portraits so it will finally be steamed out then..

The only half-decent picture..

The first words that come to my mind on this dress.... "I do!". You''ve got a winner, beautiful dress.

 

[MelissaSue]

In these, my mom was trying to get the kind of shot where the train kind of wraps around the front.. but apparently she didn''t bother to check if I was standing on the train first.

 

[MelissaSue]

Another shot.. I cropped off the bottom in both this and the last one, so the detail on the dress would show better.

 

[XChick03]

Gorgeous dress, I absolutely love it!

 

[MelissaSue]

One with the tiara.. I look like I''m going to cry.. but I wasn''t!

 

[MelissaSue]

Last one.. Close of up of *moi* with the tiara..and dress and veil and the whole deal.. That WAS the necklace I was planning on wearing.. but my mom says its too plain.. and I sort of agree with her looking at the pictures.. I am just so anti- fake jewelry though.

I have a set of chicken cutlets, I LOOOOOVE them. My sister has a permanent set, and when I see her (normally after sharing a bottle of wine), I chase her around the room with my removable chicken cutlets. They make a cool noise when you slap someone with them! Thwack!

 

[LizzieC]

Melissa you look just LOVELY and that is one AMAZING veil!

And yeah, I''ve gotta get me some of those cutlets too!
