Note, the picture is not of me nor it is of the actual dress I will be wearing in friend’s wedding.

My best friend from high school is getting married on October 19. I am one of four bridesmaids and can’t wait to meet the two I’ve not met yet (the other is her sister). The bride mailed my dress to me weeks ago and I put off taking it to have it hemmed and pressed.

During my lunch break today, I drive over to a local dry cleaners to see about the alterations. I stepped into their tiny changing room, slipped on the dress, and changed my shoes. I stepped out of the dressing room and realized that the dress (with the right shoes) required ZERO hemming. That’s a big deal for me since I’m 5′2″ in barefeet. Woo-hoo. The lady at the shop even recommended that I not have the dress pressed because it didn’t need it and I would be traveling with it.

Even better. Can’t wait for the wedding!!!
