I really love this dress, and it was nice that the tailor could see and point out the problems in fit before I really even had to say anything. I have to give her credit for wanting the dress to turn out perfectly, too. I have a whole pile of alterations that I plan on taking very soon. : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-tailoring-story-with-a-happy-ending/page/2#post-711721 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 16:11:04 +0000 catgirl 711721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW, fantastic! The power of a good tailoring experience... I like all of them without covering up the dress because it fits you so well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-tailoring-story-with-a-happy-ending/page/2#post-711670 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 14:54:41 +0000 nicoleb 711670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good for you for speaking up until the dress was just the way your wanted it! It really looks amazing and perfectly tailored on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-tailoring-story-with-a-happy-ending/page/2#post-711661 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 14:52:05 +0000 Vix 711661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see why you label the ending happy -- you look terrific in the dress (and I love the hat with it). You'll enjoy it much more knowing that it's now "just right" vs "good enough!" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-tailoring-story-with-a-happy-ending/page/2#post-711591 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 14:06:18 +0000 Ana 711591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you! : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-tailoring-story-with-a-happy-ending/page/2#post-711484 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 11:35:17 +0000 rute 711484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous!

I don't want people to think they looked good before. Thank you for noticing, though! I've lost about 10-12 pounds. I always felt really good about my body, even when I weighed a little more, and I think it was because of everything I learned on the forum and how supportive it is. I knew how to dress what I have (so to speak) so I always felt like I looked good, and I still feel that way (if that makes sense). So thank you. :)</p> <p>IK, what a great tailor! And really reasonably priced, too. Thank you so much for recommending them to me! </p> <p>Thanks again, everyone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-tailoring-story-with-a-happy-ending#post-710890 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 15:46:59 +0000 greenglove 710890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ana, the yellow shoes and lilac dress is gorgeous- so unexpected!

You look beautiful in this perfectly altered sun dress! I love all the looks but the no nonsense combination of #5 is my favourite :)</p> <p>Loving the new short do too.</p> <p>Ana, you have lost a lot of weight over the last few years. I have been wanting to mention that you look amazing! But I also don't want you to think that you didn't look amazing before - because you did </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-tailoring-story-with-a-happy-ending#post-710871 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 15:28:09 +0000 Ana 710871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you so much everyone! :)</p> <p>Joy, great suggestion for a white denim jacket. I had one, but I never wore it, so I just gave it away a few months ago. Oh well. I do have a white cardigan I could use instead. </p> <p>Suz, thank you! I've missed you as well and missed being around here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-tailoring-story-with-a-happy-ending#post-710489 Mon, 03 Sep 2012 02:07:56 +0000 Jaime 710489@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fantastic ending and the dress looks perfect.

It fits you to perfection now and I love all your styling variations. And your story is a good reminder that it sometimes takes time and effort to get something exactly right, but it's important to keep going because the pay off is huge. Killer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-tailoring-story-with-a-happy-ending#post-710303 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 22:20:24 +0000 Midwest Girl 710303@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fantastic in this dress--your perseverance certainly paid off! I love it with the red shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-tailoring-story-with-a-happy-ending#post-710302 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 22:19:45 +0000 Anonymous 710302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ana, you look adorable in the dress. How wonderful that the tailor perservered to get it right. About the denim jacket, I think a white denim jacket might be better than the blue, although it does a fine job of dressing the dress down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-tailoring-story-with-a-happy-ending#post-710297 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 22:02:48 +0000 Anonymous 710297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so pretty, Ana!

My goodness. Cuter than cute. Way for you and your tailor to persevere! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-a-tailoring-story-with-a-happy-ending#post-710218 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 20:05:21 +0000 Ana 710218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much, ladies! I really appreciate all your comments! You guys are wonderful. :)</p> <p>MMPJ, I felt like Dorothy at the conference. It was amazing meeting so many authors I've read and admire. There were many fangirl moments (I hope I didn't embarrass myself too much). :)</p> <p>Jayne, thank you! I'm always up for hugs! </p>
