Seamstress for the Dress

So I took my dress to the seamstress recommended by Carlise's today. I spent three hours on the pedestal stand while she cut the dress shorter. It's worse than we thought, the dress is completely falling apart! She will check the whole thing to make sure it is secure, but it was more work than expected. To top it off, three hours in the shoes I bought for the wedding are PAINFUL! My toes went numb! I need to find comfortable shoes to wear after the photos are done! Of course, it's extra hard to just stand there in heels w/o moving. One more thing to check off my list!
