Today I went for a fitting for my wedding dress as I told them I might lose weight so would like to get the dress fitted better to my body if I did. Imagine my suprise when I shimmied into my dress with no problems and felt that the thigh and butt area of the dress was really loose.
“Wow, I really lost alot of weight! I didn’t even do much!”
“ha ha ha, Yes you did!” exclaims the shop assistant
“Hmmm, but you know it does look a bit weird here at the side” I point to the seams on the side of my thighs and hips. “Why is it bulging out like that? I don’t remember it looking like that in the last fitting?”
“Oh, is it? It looks ok ah. I don’t think so lor”
“Hmmm….. mum come have a look at this does it look funny???”
“Ooooo it does look weird, why does it ruched up there? I don’t remember it looking like that as well!!!” said my mum in suprise
Then the sales assistant finally admits “Oh, heh, erm I altered it before you came so that you had more space to sit down cause it was quite tight the last time”
O.mg… I ask them not to touch the dress and the only alteration they had to do was make the dress smaller if I lost weight. Not only did they not do as per my instructions they also did not correct me when I exclaimed in delight over my supposed weight loss! Double whammy! I was quite worried about the dress so I asked them to alter it back to the original form and once that is done I will have another fitting.
Fingers cross I that it will turn out ok! I don’t have any more time to look for another dress!

You will look gorgeous with or without a dress!!! It will be a wonderful wedding..coz the people make it magical not the dress, the invitation or the food (they matter but not as much as the poeple)
