Last night Kim & I picked up her wedding dress from Galleria Bridal. While there, we learned that they had apparently not written down the tux information and that the guys are supposed to get measured 2 months before the wedding date, not 2 weeks prior. Oops. Glad we found that out when we did!
We went home and dressed her up. We determined the veil length and the bustle pickup & hook points. I got the veil cut; all I need to do for it is hem it, gather it and attach it to the comb (which I don't have yet, but will get today). Her neckline gapes and I'm going to try clear elastic, per How to Alter a Bridal Gown. It's possible that her entire wedding day ensemble will be completely finished by Friday. Her trial up-do is on Saturday and she's going to come home from that and try everything on. In a perfect world it will all look perfect and we can return her gown to Galleria Bridal for storing until the day before the wedding. I hope it turns out that way because I'd really love to get started on my outfit.
We noticed that the wrap that we think is supposed to come with the dress isn't in the dress bag. I'll have to ask about that. And we think we're going to to wraps for the bridesmaids--they've asked about them.
