Last night I started the process of dress alterations. I put the dress on and the ladies went to work pinning me here and there making sure the fit would be just right. Before I left, she gave me the total of what it was going to cost and I was completely shocked. $400 shocked! I walked out of there, leaving my dress behind because I apparently have a hard time saying no to people when they just spent 45 minutes pinning me up. After sleeping on it, I decided I'm going to go back and pick up my dress. I talked with her on the phone and she lowered the price a little, but not enough to make me stay there. I know she would have done an amazing job (I have two recommendations for her) but $400 is barely under what I paid for the dress itself. Ugh. Back to finding a seamstress.
On a better note, Joe and I are headed to the Paper Depot tomorrow to start thinking invites! I've heard from all of my friends who have made their own invitations that this is the place to go - so we're going! Here are a few favorites that I've seen...
