Big News on Dresses!

I gave Camille @ the bridal shop my mom's address (assuming we'd be in a different residence by the time the wedding came to, and I didn't want the shop to send anything to the wrong address...).  So today I got a phone call from my mom saying that my DRESS IS IN!!!  I have a fitting on Saturday, January 10th to check things out, and hopefully get the alterations going... so before that date I have to get my "undergarments" in order (uh, I didn't even start that yet... better go...) and I'll have my shoes to try on, too - but Camille is getting those in at the shop, so she'll have them for me, so that's a small relief.

So I called to get all the details, and asked about bridesmaids dresses, too, since those are ordered via a different maker.  She gave me an estimate of approximately the end of January for those to come in - so that's good news, too!  And the shoes will come in before the fitting for the bridesmaids dresses too, because she orders them right after the dresses come in (she assured me that shoes arrive fast).  So bridesmaids gotta get their undergarments in order, too (hee hee) - I notice the dresses have a lower back, so I wonder if a special accommodation needs to be made for that? (btw, this is the dress style, but it's not purple - it's black - and it will NOT have that god-awful bubble hem...) :)

...but when the bridesmaids dresses DO come in, we will all get a postcard letting us know.  I'm going to try to go with to the first fitting so we can get the hemline set so everyone else just lines up to the first one.  For that, I will need to know who's the tallest of the bridesmaids, since I discovered that the tallest gets hemmed first.  Man, the stuff you learn with wedding planning!
