I had the dress fitting last night. It went very well (Phew!). Fortunately there wasn’t a whole lot of time in which to contemplate an out of shape body in a three way mirror, like I had last time. There was also a lot less time standing somewhat naked in front of a stranger as the whole point was to have clothing on. And I am in somewhat better shape this time around, so waiting for the seamstress wasn’t the lesson in embarrassment that it was in May. Thanks Kurt for that rockin’ good workout plan! Anyway, the dress fit perfectly off the rack. Who knew? Length was just right, it fit everywhere (apparently my body is no longer a triangle) and the only modifications were hooks for the shawl, and a bustle for the dress. The surprise was more in that I originally thought the dress was ivory. Then I realized I had ordered diamond white over gold, so I figured it was white. Now I’ve realized that the dress really does look ivory because of the gold. So I need to call Men’s Wearhouse and change the tux shirts to ivory. It also means my white shoes don't go with my ivory dress. Whatever, I’m just happy that the whole experience took less than ½ hour, and the dress will be ready for pickup on 12/2. Woohoo!

Doesn't my little brother look good in the snow? Doesn't Chris look like he's flying over those barriers?
