YAY!!!

Where are you going?

Lillian on here recommended a seamstress who does alterations from her house! She is near me, so I am going to give it a try. I really don't need much--just a hem and bustle. I will post pics--I need advice on whether to keep the spaghetti straps or just cut them off and go strapless!

ETA: I had to work today

and because I was pissed about that I have been eating ALL DAY. I feel huge, so not a good day for a fitting!

Re: My first fitting is tonight!

When is the first fitting supposed to be? I'm 11/24 and I have not even thought about them yet?

Re: My first fitting is tonight!

OK, here is a pic. from the fitting. It comes with spaghetti straps--should I go with the straps or strapless? I was feeling huge today after eating a ton--it normally doesn't look so tight!

Thanks! Can you FM me what your seamstress is charging you? I don't know if I am paying too much...

Does it look too tight? I don't know if I gained or just ate a lot (went after dinner), but it looks tight to me through the stomach...When am I going to start losing weight from nerves!?
