I had my first dress fitting this morning and of course I arrived ten minutes early. When I walked into the seamstress shop there was already another bride dressed in her gorgeous wedding gown for her first fitting, I immediately smiled at her and told her she looked beautiful, she really did. It was as if we had an instant bond as we both knew what each other was going through. I waited my turn and again I couldn't wait to slip into my dress with all the trimmings.I came out of the fitting room and at the same time a man and his adorable daughter around the age of three or four were walking into the shop for alterations. I overheard the little girl say to her father "Daddy, that lady is wearing such a pretty dress". He replied "Yes honey, she is getting married." My heart melted right then and there.
Judi pinned me up, showed me what my bustle would eventually look like, and voila, I was done. It was much easier than I had anticipated. As I left the shop, I had such an amazing feeling of excitement and now know that we are that much closer to the day!
How did you feel after your first fitting?!
I'd love to hear from you. Email questions, comments, or photos to blogzillabride@gmail.com

I felt the same way that you did. It was a much easier process than I had imagined it would be and I felt so excited when I left because I knew that we were that much closer!! Agghh! So excited for you!
I think I ended up lingering in my dress a little too long. Yay for first fittings!!! I think this is the point where everything you do makes it feel more and more real and surreal at the same time.
I'm glad it all went well for you! I was still nervous after mine, worried about how the work would actually come out once it was done, but I definitely had a great time trying on my dress.
that is so fun! i didn't want to take off my dress! i stayed in it for as long as possible!
Awww I love that story! That is so precious. Just goes to show we get our wedding dreams young!!
What a great experience! Those are the moments that make being a bride fantastic!
Oh wow, it sounds like your fitting was a beautiful experience! Overall, mine was easy and stress-free as well. And there definitely is a bond between brides during dress fittings. It's really cool!
I did not have any fittings, I wore a perfectly sized hand-me-down dress, so I never had that experience but I assure you that you will be gorgeous! It was a thrill each time I tried my dress on, I know that you have to be so excited that your day is coming so quickly!!
aww that's so cute about the little girl! Yes, I had a great first fitting experience..it's just such a fun time!
