well, it wasn't. I just didn't feel like updating cause i'm so over the whole damn thing.
so, the dress was *almost* perfect when I got it, so i didn't stress. it was too tight in the ribs (again, she read my measurements wrong, and my ribs are you know, bone, i can't starve myself for a week and make it okay), but, i was SO not worried, i figured we would just let it out a smidge on the side seams and we are good, right?
So, i went to a seamstress near me about 1.5 weeks ago, she opens the seams - no seam allowance. Can't be done. She says she'll go buy matching silk. Can't find it. I bring the dress home last Monday. I email the original Miami dressmaker who says she will Priority Post me the left over fabric. That was August 13. Still, no fabric.
I took my dress to my friend's "miracle worker" dressmaker on Monday. She has 'concerns' but promises me she will *somehow* make it okay. I can't see her again until NEXT Wednesday, August 29th. Which is *17* days before my wedding. I am totally not sure i have a dress.
(however, the reason I am not freaking out is it looks like Dave's sister may not even live for the next 3 weeks. so, obviously, that is a bit more 'in our heads', but, really, i can't get married in jeans, you know??)
