The Bustle that made me Cry....

Ladies, i went for my first fitting and i am in love with my wedding gown all over again!

The alteration lady, who was awesome, i couldn't pronouce her name so we will call her Elsa.  Anyway Elsa was amazing and she fitted me into that dress and i was blown away! I have been doing really well with my work outs and eating and it definitely showed when i tried on the dress again. 

The first time i purchased the dress, it was tight all over, my stomach was bulging and i was about to pop out of the dress but i was in love.  Low and behold months later, there was plenty of room to take in and i couldn't be happier.  The wedding pictures are going to last forever and so i wanted to look my best. 

22 1910The dress has several parts to it: there is a bow in the back that comes off to reveal this amazing pleating in the back which is simply exquisit! When i first purchased the dress, i loved the pleating but i didn't see the wonder of it until Elsa started working on my bustle.   I actually started to tear up...there have been several since the whole wedding planning process started.  


If i haven't told you how much i love the dress, i am telling you again, i love my dress...it's simplicity and elegance...i love it! But when Elsa gathered up my bustle and pinned everything in place and i turned around and looked, i was completely and utterly floored.  I LOVE THE BUSTLE! i think it makes the dress come alive and it takes it to a whole other dimension!







Ladies and ladies i present to you the BUSTLE that Elsa created that made me cry!
