ack! what to do - dd's christening dress is a bit loose
Okay, what should I do ladies? I just tried Emily's christening dress on Sarah and it's bigger than I thought it'd be. Sarah is larger than Em was at 3 mths but Emily was almost 6 mths when we christened her. So it makes sense that the dress fits looser, but she's kinda swimming in the thing
The christening is in TWO weeks. I could try and get someone to tailor it for me but I can't imagine how much that would cost not to mention we don't have a ton of time. But I wonder if it's really necessary? On one hand I think, will anyone even really notice? The baby will be passed around a bit and then probably napping the whole time, but on the other I think, this was an expensive gown and this is probably the last time I'll use it! So I want it to fit, kwim?
What do you think? Big, right?!

I would let her wear it as is, but if you want to have it taken in, I have a GREAT seamstress who works out of her house in Wantagh. Her FT job is doing alterations at Bridal Reflections Massapequa.

I think it's fine - she's a beautie!!!!!!!!
My DD wanted OUT of her christening dress the second the ceremony was over, so I wouldnt bother with alterations.
The dress is gorgeous.
