The first fitting.

 

You all get the first look! This is the 'mock-up' of my wedding dress. The real thing will be made out of green silk with purple threads running through it... The fabric is AMAZING!

He's the best part. I had my measurments done on June 27th. As you may be aware, I've lost a few pounds since then. (over 10 lbs). So, today She puts the skirt on me and was a little confused when the side overlapped by about two inches. The she said, "have you been losing weight?" I said "yeah - some". She stood there for a minute and said... "Uh, I would say a LOT"

When we tried on the corsett she laced it up as tight as it would go with no problem. There's supposed to be a GAP! hehehe. She looked me over, asked how much more weight I was going to lose then said... well we're going to take three inches out of the corset then. THREE INCHES! OMG I have motivation to hold to my word to lose the weight now cause I'll need to for my dress to fit!

Anyway - I'll post photos of the real thing once I get to that point... more fun ahead!

  2. Shawn, you don't have to apologise for anything, not a single thing.

    What can say, but you honestly look absolutely fantastic. I'm just so happy for you, that you are getting married, and you are building such a strong and positive life, and future for yourself.

    You deserve this so much, and I'm so happy for you and Peter. He is marrying someone pure and true, and you both richly deserve this.

    YOU CAN LOSE THAT WEIGHT!!!!! You are doing so well, don't let up for a second. Your ideal body is just weeks away.

    Thanks for being such a great inspiration. You should be so proud of yourself, you are simply amazing :-).

    :-) :-).
