Sandra came over to help me put together my wedding ensemble. The lingerie doesn't work--it peeks through the top. I may have to splurge on the expensive stuff after all. I need it, though, before I can get the dress altered. Although, happily, there won't need to be much altering (Mom, you can stop worrying). I've lost enough weight since I've bought the dress that it zips up with no problem, although the buttons don't quite close (those are the fuschia flower petal buttons, Adam, in case you're reading this. They go nicely with the pirate sleeves). However, with proper fitting lingerie, that may not be an issue either. So at this point it's just minor adjustments to the straps. And no, Mom, stop worrying, there were no diet pills involved. We took some Polaroids of the outfit so I can show my hairdresser and use it to pick out jewelry. Also moved the dress upstairs, as the dampness of the basement was making the dress a little smelly, but nothing the cleaner won't be able to take care of. Speaking of which, I spoke to the cleaners about getting the dress done and pressed, and there should be no problems. Got a decent sounding place on the line for the rehearsal dinner. I'm borrowing Pam's crinoline for the wedding and will buy myself some new jewelry. Anyone got any ideas for something old and something blue?
