Boy, what an adventure it is to choose a wedding dress! Isa looked beautiful in every single one. She must have tried on 100 dresses, or more! It is really wonderful to be able to share this experience with my daughter - to share her desires and doubts, her excitement and planning.
I must say that she had it all planned out - the try-on sessions were scheduled perfectly, we never lost our sense of humor, and it was all just great. The "sweatshop" building sure was spooky - a building full of halls and doors with no signs on them, just numbers, and a very protective doorwoman at the entrance to the building. We had the whole range, from a tight space shared by several other women trying on gowns, to a spacious all-to-ourselves session with the designers themselves, and everything in between.
New York City has it all. Plus great places to eat in between try-on sessions, and gracious cousins who gave us a place to stay. This was an experience to never be forgotten. I even kept a diary of each day's happenings!
