Save-The-Date: Finalized Dress

The dress has been finalized... somewhat. I decided to go with the Tinkerbell-like green dress.  I ordered it online from this place called Light In The Box. I really don't know too much about the place, except that they're located in China... and they had a group of "seamstresses" alter my dress to my "specific" measurements.

Yes. The quotation marks are my attempt to be sarcastic. The dress is gorgeous. It really is. It looks exactly like the photo, with one exception: The length. UGHHH!!! Being short is a real kick in the glass (Tang reference).

The dress is too long! It practically comes down to my ankles, and in the picture it reaches the girl's knees. The model in the pic is like 5'3"and I'm 4'11 and 1/2" (hey that half inch means I'm sooooooo close to 5' even haha). I really didn't think a few inches would matter so much!

Well, I guess I've learned an important lesson: don't order dresses online.

When I was younger, my dad would take me clothes shopping, and I hated it! He'd take me to the store, let me pick out my outfits, and then walk me to the fitting room, saying "TRY ON EVERYTHING!" I totally know why now...

I expected to take our photos already, but now I have to get the dress altered.... by like a foot haha
