So I did the last fitting, or so I thought. The dress needs to be taken in! At the sides and back! Which means I have to take out the beautiful zipper! I was able to mark the hem, but not pin down the lace, not until after I took in the dress. I was able to take it in but not get the zipper in correctly. I ended up needing help from a wonderful seamstress who has helped with teaching me a few techniques and giving me advice during this process.
I also had to take in the shoulder lace as well.
