The Dress

4 1/2 months to go!

With the wedding speeding up on us now, I realize that the dress that's been hanging hidden in my brother's basement for the last 5 months will need to be tried on and... altered.

I don't know why I'm so afraid to have the dress altered. The seamstress is a professional! She does this every day! And yet, I image my dream dress, worn on my dream day, with a strange seam down the back, or crooked stitching, or maybe it just won't fit any more at all.

Does anyone else feel this way about taking their dress in to be fitted? I know I tend to be weird about things, but maybe I'm not the only one afraid to have her dress go "under the knife".

Let me know if you have any horror stories, or maybe some good news about altering your dress.
