Most of the time I think I am a pretty level-headed person and it is rare that I get worked up about anything, much less something trivial. But today I found myself sobbing as I drove away from picking up my wedding dress. Not mushy sobbing, but 'oh-my-gosh-I'm-going-to-look-horrible-on-my-wedding-day' sobbing.
I don't know if it is my hormones (I admit to a case of PMS), or if it is all in my head, but when I put on my wedding dress today it did not fit right. The hem was perfect, and the bustle was fine, but the bustline, which wasn't altered, just isn't right. The neckline is too high and my breasts can't be pushed up that far.
Stupidly I forgot to bring the correct bra to the fitting, and the alterations lady told me it would fit better once I had the right bra on. Even without the bra, she insisted that the dress fit exactly as it was supposed to and that it looked beautiful. Another girl said that if I was worried I could stuff the dress or my bra to get it how I wanted it!!! Hearing that brought tears to my eyes and I've been crying on and off about it ever since.
As soon as I got home I tried the dress on with the right bra and it still doesn't look quite right. I can't believe that I am actually crying over a dress! Every other time I tried on my wedding dress, I felt beautiful in it and so excited to show it off. It is disappointing to feel awkward and silly in my own wedding dress.
Thankfully, my mom and sister are going to look at it with me tonight to see if the dress really needs to be altered again. I'm hoping they can cheer me up or that the ladies over at Renfros (where my sis got her dress) can fix it. Until then, I am just going to have to get a grip.
