Expert Fitting > Bridal & Special Occasion Fittings
|
Here at Bedroom I’s Boutique, we do a lot of fittings for
brides, wedding parties, mothers of the bride & groom and
special occasion outfits. Our general rule of thumb is to
recommend an advance appointment, so that we may have a fitter
waiting for you upon arrival. |
|
If your dress or outfit has not been selected yet, we
applaud your knowledge for the importance of shopping with a
properly fit foundation ahead of time. A wise woman knows that
it is better to find a versatile and comfortable foundation in
which to try dresses on over, rather than scrambling to find the
proper one after the fact. |
|
If on the other hand, your dress or outfit has been
selected, don’t worry because you are not alone. We do highly
recommend that you bring the garment (prior to any alterations)
to your fitting though, as we cannot tell you definitively that
any foundation will be the perfect one for your needs without
the garment there to confirm. All good seamstresses and tailors
will insist that you have the proper foundation before they
proceed in pinning or altering your garment, but we like to
remind you of that fact too. |

When you arrive for your fitting, we ask that you try to
keep an open mind about the process. We may ask you to try on
something on that you may never have selected for yourself, but
please rest assured that each foundation garment in the boutique
has been hand-picked for its proven performance and that no
member of the Bedroom I’s staff will ever steer you in the wrong
direction. Your comfort and best appearance is our foremost
concern, so please take the time to listen to what your fitter
has to say. 9 times out of 10, we hear women exclaiming with
delight, I love this ___ bra, bodysuit, long line, shaping brief
(take your pick), but I never would have tried this on without
your encouragement!

Now word about shapewear…Close fitting spandex enhanced
garments commonly referred to as shapewear are not meant to take
away any of those dietary sins that we all delight in from time
to time. Shapewear is simply meant to smooth your lines, lumps,
bumps or anything that may exist that prevents you from looking
your very best. Please do not attempt to purchase shapewear a
size smaller than your body indicates, as I can assure you the
result will do more harm than good. First, the excess flesh has
to go somewhere and generally it moves to a less attractive, yet
more noticeable location on the body. Wearing the wrong size can
also lead to garments rolling up, down or otherwise coming
undone at the most inopportune of times in the evening. Everyone
seems to have a shapewear horror story to tell, but if we were
all honest about the situation, incorrect sizing would likely be
found to be the common denominator.

From

Beauty is
in the details
By Laurie

A gorgeous
dress goes along way toward making a bride feel glamorous, but true
radiance comes from the perfect finishing touches. Aimee Guthinger,
owner of Bedroom I’s Boutique in Osterville, ruefully points out
that brides have a tendency to forget that what’s underneath can
really affect how a dress looks.
