If the Dress Fits...

After fretting for months over finding a seamstress, I had my first dress fitting this past week. I ended up going to the Dress Doctor, located in the Water Tower. Unfortunately, I have a chest and was having the hardest time finding a strapless bra that worked with my dress. My wedding dress is not strapless but the back is low, so I would have to go with a strapless bra. Another issue - my dress is somewhat low in the front too (Something I noted when I found my dress but the salesperson told me that was because I was trying on a far smaller size! Ha...that was a lie). The problem - I am not the type of girl who wants to show off the twins on my wedding day or practically any day, so I had to find the right bra - a bra that was still supportive but low in the front and back. Yeah - well, there is really no such thing. Seriously. - I actually spent more time trying to find the right undergarments than finding my wedding dress. After tearing up twice to a Nordstroms salesperson in their intimate apparel department, I was given the name of Soheila Ghofrani, who is known as the Dress Doctor. Soheila immediately put me at ease, telling me she had some bras that would work. Well, I have to say I was thrilled. She had a great bra that she will be able to sew into the dress for even more support and another plus - not make me look "boobalicous" (yes - I actually used that word when I was describing my dilemma to her). She also gave me a couple pointers on how to make the dress look its best and then gave me a very, very reasonable estimate on my dress. I was sold. I have several more fittings, but I would highly recommend her to anyone.
