Almost Mrs Who?: October 2012

I'm usually quite calm about things... on the outside, meanwhile actually screaming in my head.

Today was an exception to that rule.

I got my dress altered. Shortened the length, added sleeves ( which were to be removable through a clip) and a bustle.

I got:

The correct length at the front - TICK

Sleeves which were hand sewn on- Bah Bowww

A wrist tie to only ONE of the 5 layers, the rest of the layers hang free

The Top layer isn't cut as short as the others which makes it look odd

A blood stain where someone who has pricked themselves when sewing on the sleeves.

There is also an unexplained (slight) stain near the hem at the front

So I called her today and lost my head. I never do that. Yelling at an old lady made me feel guilty but then I get mad that I am feeling guilty and all of it comes out of my eyeballs. Luckily it was after I had gotten off the phone. She had offered to come back to get it cleaned but now I think after she hung up on me I have well and truly burnt that bridge.

Poor M has tried to be supportive while not getting too much information about the dress.

My bridesmaid has offered to fix some of it for me which is a real blessing. M is out at his grandparents place to find out the name of their seamstress they trust just in case my bridesmaid can't fix it. I am hoping she can. She made her own wedding dress so I trust her. With 18 days to go my stress head is on and I want to get rid of it. !!!!

In other news, I had my hens day on Saturday. Firstly L threw me a Kitchen Tea. The idea of a Kitchen Tea to me was you drink tea, champagne, play games and have cake. I never related it to getting presents. I got a whole kitchen load full! We didn't have enough storage as it was and now we have to get a bigger kitchen ... which is FINE BY ME!

We then went to Crinitis in Darling harbour for dinner first, with lots of cocktails, lots of pizza, pasta and other lovely goodies. Followed by some daggy dancing at Retro. T and I went back to my place to find the best man (her husband) asleep at 2am and we , being super tipsy found that unacceptable and dragged him out of bed to have some more drinks with us. I spent most of yesterday recovering and trying to solve dress problems that T is going to try and fix.
