Wedding Fitting Numero Dos

Today I had my second fitting for my wedding dress for my bridal portraits in 3 days. Last time I went for a fitting it had it to be taken in a little bit, and it was already tight then! I definitely know how antebellum women feel in those girdles! I can barely breath and the alteration lady wants it tighter still. Well of course I went in today and once again it is getting taken in, Ugh!

Also I decided to make a change in my dress. It is a strapless gown, but I really wanted sleeves after seeing Kate Middleton's and Ivanka Trump's wedding dresses. After long deliberation I have decided to contact Vera Wang for a lace and tulle addition to my gown. I am getting it so the fabric is just like Ivanka Trumps lace, but it will be open in the front with shorter cap sleeves.


Should I get a second dress for my reception? My wedding gown is really really big and I'm worried I will die of exhaustion from carrying it around for hours. I bought one today as a second wedding dress, but I am thinking of just using at my rehearsal dinner dress. Can't decide.
