The Dress

The dress arrived at Davids.  I was very surprised to get the email announcement as I expected to not see it until the fitting in July.  I put off picking it up until I could find a place to store it...home seems like a tough place and it being found could be complicated.  In any case, they sent a second notice today so I felt inclined to go get it.  With typical trepidation I approached the entrance.  But, I persevered and opened the door.  Not too many people.  Good.  I told the receptionist that I was there to pick up a dress.  She asked what name it was under.  Oh well, they know...

So, an assistant arrives out front carrying the dress.  And she asks if I want to try it on...did not think of this.  So, I replied, "sure, why not".  Casual me.  So, we go back to the changing rooms...nobody there.  She takes the dress out and gives it to me.  "Would you like a bra?"  Had not thought of that.  So, "sure, .why not".  I tried it on, after fighting to get the 40B long line bra on, and it fit wonderfully.  I am not sure what alterations will be recommended but it fit very nicely, as is.  But, do I check it out in the mirror or not?  Well, there is a bridesmaid next door, talking to the assistant...maybe not.  I changed back out of the dress and came out.  She then mentioned how much fun the other assistants had when I bought the dress...wow, I am a celebrity sissy.  Then we walked out front to sign for the dress.  The whole shop was there, I think.  Everyone had to know what dress it was.  I apparently have good taste, as they all approved. 

I can't wait for the fitting...
