How I wish I could post pictures from my appointments for this! Ever since I found THE DRESS back in November, I have been itching to put that gorgeous piece of loveliness on again. Fortunately, I’ve had two dress fittings since the beginning of February, so I’ve been able to twirl around in it a couple times.

As you know, I purchased my dress from The Bride Room‘s Super Sample Sale last November. As part of the sale, they offered a promotion to get our dresses cleaned and altered for a discount through the incredible Oakwood Cleaners. DeNeal has been with me since the start — she was there to advise when we were first looking at THE DRESS at The Bride Room, and assured us that altering the gown {which has a side-zip} wouldn’t be an issue. Since then, she’s met with me and my mother, helping nip and tuck and bustle and hem my gorgeous confection.

My last appointment is May 1st {in perfect time to be cleaned and pressed for my bridal portraits May 31st}. Mission until then? Kicking my walking wedding workouts into high gear between now and then! I have a stunning dress to fit into flawlessly!!!! :)
