I got a call from the bridal shop this morning that my dress came in! I managed to convince my mom to take a long lunch and come with me so I could try it on. I''ve been waiting 5 months for it, and I leave for Italy a month from tomorrow so I''ve been just a tiny bit anxious for it to come in.
My first fitting is next Thursday, and I already have my veil (plain chapel length) but I didn''t bring it with me because I already felt silly bringing my shoes and other stuff when I didn''t even have a fitting.
My dress is Sottero and Midgley SSM5154-JK. When I ordered the dress I wasn''t planning to wear the jacket at all but now I''m thinking I might wear it at least part of the time. I''m very self-conscious about my arms (flabby
, in my eyes at least).
It''s a little too big in the waist and hips, so it''s sliding down a bit in these photos, but overall I''m pretty happy. I''m glad that I spoke up though and didn''t let them order the next size up! (The woman who measured me chose a size 16 based on the wrong size chart, and I called back a few days later to have them check. Sure enough, they were wrong and I needed a 14.)
I''d love to hear opinions on the dress, the jacket, and also the pearls that FI bought me to wear for the wedding. I''d like honest opinions, but perhaps not too honest and critical because I''ve already bought the dress (obviously) and there is no way I can be a two dress bride, haha. But I would like to get an idea of how people feel about the jacket, especially. I like it, but I''m not sure if that''s more because I like being covered up or what.
Thanks for looking!
