Alterations DONE

Yesterday, I picked up my bridal gown from Alterations by Luz in Waipahu. I was kind of anxious to see how the hemming and bustling turned out. My dress is kind of special because it doesn't have a straight back. there's a flap that comes around and fastens to the other side, and so Luz had to do some special magic and pinning and buttonings to make it fall nicely. I tried on the dress, and first of all it fit perfectly. So far I haven't gained any extra weight since I've been in Hawaii which so hard being surrounded by so much good food and mom's cooking. We've been trying to go to Magic Island to run/walk every other day or so. And secondly, the bustle was really cute. It looked really elegant, and Luz did a really good job. My mom was there trying to figure out where to tie all the ribbons and snap all the clips so that she would be ready for the big day. I think Mom got it down. So that is one less thing to worry about. I can't post any photos yet, just in case Paul stumbles across this blog, but I'll post some later on.
