So remember when I said the fitting would be humiliating? I was right! Not only that, but the altering is going to cost almost as much as the dress! And it's being done by the same people who sold me the dress!! What a coincidence!

I mean, they're not even charging me for the one thing that made this really humiliating (they need to let out the bodice of the dress to accommodate my midsection, which I had thought would be much smaller by this point - always order the bigger dress, they can always take it in if you do manage to lose the weight!). So I'm being overcharged for standard stuff like hemming, taking in the huge chest section and shortening the straps.

And? I have to go in 2 MORE TIMES for more fitting and humiliation before I get to wear the dress. WTH?

So those of you who like to see me socially, you can just forget it till April. I'm going to be Out Of Town almost every weekend till then. Being Humiliated. Repeatedly. If not by the dress ladies, then by those closer to me. It's going to be fun. Woohoo!

Andrea, don't take any of this personally, it's not your fault. Everything's fine, I just needed to vent.
