Second Dress Fitting and Some Extras

Since I tried on my dress a month ago and found out that I had not lost enough weight for it to fit and decided to make a corset back in the dress this will be the first fitting where I am hoping that the dress will actually fit. Ms. Dancer came with me and I was ecstatic with the results. It was PERFECT and I could not be happier with the work that the seamstress did. As I sighed in relief that my perfect dress was not ruined Ms. Dancer and I turned to our second mission of the day to choose a tiara and veil.

I did not have any idea what I wanted when it came to a veil except that I wanted it to be simple. This indecision lead to us trying on over 20 veils and I was astounded by the variety they were able to offer me. In the end I picked something that was two tiered and fell in layers to about the center of my back. I felt that it was the perfect length for my dress. Any longer and it would cover up the crystals on the bustle, any shorter and it would not fully cover my hair but instead chop it off in a weird way. So with the veil chosen we turned to picking out a tiara.



I knew I wanted crystals for the tiara because of the detailing on the dress. There are a line of crystals on the bustle on the small of my back and the same line of crystals across the bust of the dress.

We were lucky because in addition to seeing which tiara’s that Mon Amie had there was also a woman Meg who was showing her handmade jewellery off in the store and who popped into the dressing room to show off some of her merchandise. She is super talented and had a lot to choose from. She had the perfect tiara. It was simple and matched the crystals on my dress. We tried it on with the veil and the dress and I knew it was perfect.

THE TIARA

After finding the tiara she stuck around to show me a few necklaces. I was not sure if I wanted one, I had not decided but when she pulled out one of her designs it was divine and I fell in love with it. Closing my eyes to how much I was spending today I agreed to take it with a few modifications which she was more than happy to do.

Even though I spent way to much today I was happy that things were starting to come together and the look was getting to what I really wanted.
