The lovely seamstress, Svetlana, pinned it in to how it would fit, and it looked great. It turns out the £40 I spent on lingerie wasn’t even needed, as the bra made my boobs have a silly shape once the dress was squeezing against me, so I will be going without. She even showed me the bustle, and it was so nice! And my hourglass figure is back!! The alteration fees are double what I expected, and depending how the dress fits on the second appointment, it may cost even more. This month’s going to be a hard one, since I have to pay out my entire salary on the dress and the final payment of our honeymoon, which is also due. And on top of that I have rent, bills and living to pay for. I think perhaps it was a little unrealistic to expect to stay “in the black” in the run-up to the wedding; but at least I still have my overdraft, which is quite literally keeping me alive!
I guess I don’t really care though. I will just have to watch my spends for the next five weeks; so I will be leaving my credit and debit cards at home each day and only taking what cash I need for the day. It’s worked in the past…
The costs will be worth it, and I should be able to work my way back into the black by Christmas, so it’s not all bad. And by then I’ll have had a brilliant wedding and a beautiful honeymoon to look back on.
My next appointment is on 16th June, when I get to try on my dress and take more photos. Very excited...
