Well, my sister's wedding gown fitting went well. I only have to let
it out *slightly* through the bust and back areas (about 1/8" at each
seamline. I had hand sewed it all together with silk thread for the
fitting so that it wouldn't leave a trail of permanent marks if I had
to alter it. I'm so glad I did this now, but I was hating it while I
was doing it! :-) I'm also lowering the armseye about 1/2" at her
request. She's decided to skip the trim at the waistline and add a
contrast satin ribbon instead. I'm only hemming it about 1 1/2". She
looked just fabulous in it and kept remarking how much she loved it!
It's so nice to see a light at the end of this tunnel.
