I'm a little stressed, but Ellie is keeping me relatively sane. We are slowly getting our DIY projects done (I'm going to say we are about 80% done with all of them), the honeymoon is paid off, and I had my next-to-last dress fitting yesterday.
I was nervous, because I had gained a little weight and she hadn't yet clipped out the seams, so the dress was snug last month. I haven't worked incredibly hard at losing weight, but have been paying more attention to what I'm eating (remember, she said I can't lose a lot of weight because she can't take the dress in too much), and it looked like she clipped at least most of the seams, while leaving just enough to let it out a bit if need be.
I haven't been this happy with my dress since the day I tried it on! There's still a little to finish, like removing the last of the train and the seams and some light finish work, and I need to work on reducing my back just a tad since it's tight in the armholes (she thinks removing the seams will make it perfect). But it looked so good, and I'm so happy with it, I couldn't get over the way it looked. I get to pick it up in about 2-ish weeks, so need to get in touch with Man of Honor Jere about storing it in his place to keep it away from the cats and because I'm afraid to have it in my apartment--not because of Ellie, but because of me looking and playing with it.
Yay! If I lived closer, I'd help out with more of the DIY stuff.... It's fun crafting with you!
