I got my Nigerian wedding dress (dress pic)

[meggers5]

But the zipper is broken.

So tomorrow, between getting FI's brother at the airport, making a billion trips to the hotel and having the rehearsal, I need to pay a billion dollars to get it fixed short notice.

Sneak peek of accessories though.

Oh, pretty jewelry! I can't wait to see the dress!

[candc]

Beautiful! You will be stunning.

[Dezi]

I was really hoping that this thread contained a picture of the dress, the jewelry is very pretty though. When will you be wearing the Nigerian dress? Is a lot of his family coming for the wedding?

I'll change for the dancing He has about 10 people coming, and it's all the most important ones.

The dress is goreous. It's pale turquoise.

You'll get pics for sure when it's working probably. 

Hey, aprilsails, do you sew zippers lol?

[Dezi]

As long as the most important people are there that's all that matters. That's the thing I loved most about our wedding, it was small but only the most important people were there.
I'm loving turquoise right now (DD calls it Turk boys) and I can't wait to see pictures,

[lilac05]

I love the jewelry & can't wait to see the dress!

I made sure to open the thread right away so I didn't miss a DD, but no pic yet. I hope you're able to get the zipper fixed quickly & inexpensively!

[meggers5]

Here's the dress. It looks much better when my body is filling it out lol. Tried to get the colour in a pic.

[panbitch]

I love the dress and jewelry!

[sassycat]

You are going to look gorgeous. Love the dress and the jewelry.

[bugandbibs]

That dress is going to look so great with your dark hair!

[dexteroni]

That fabric is gorgeous. I know you're going to look beautiful in it. I can't wait to see pics. I'm so excited for you!

[elleblue]

So pretty and I love the jewelry. You're going to look incredible.

Yes I do! I am also home all day so if you can bounce a baby for a bit to keep her happy I would be delighted to sort this out for you.

Just wanted to say you can take the dress by Fabricland, show it to them and you should be able to get the right length zipper for it. I'll check my zipper stash in the morning though- I might have a long white invisible zipper here already.

PM or text me if you want to come over. I could go pick up the zipper for you in the morning if you are busy.

[WOT?*]

The dress will look fabulous (on you) with the coral jewelry. Maybe it's the Native American jewelry I grew up with but I've always loved turquoise and coral. You will look amazing. Happy wedding.
And aprilsails - what a wonderful thing to do. kudos to you for coming through for a friend in need.

[aprilsails]

I'm up for the day now meggers5. I'll check on the zipper once Vivian is done eating in 1/2 an hour.

If I have the right zipper you can drop off the dress on your way to the airport and pick it up on the way back.

I remember the day before my wedding when Loblaws lost my flower order and I lost my shit. You probably have enough to contend with today already.

I've got a 16" white zipper so if the zipper in the dress is that length or shorter we are good to go. If it's longer let me know how long it is. I'm going to call my internet supplier to see if they have any in stock. They have a local warehouse in Stittsville that I can swing by.

You're going to look amazing once it all comes together!! So lucky that you have aprilsails to help you out last minute, that's one less stressor on you! Are you guys going anywhere for a honeymoon?

[mom2twoboys]

Very pretty! Glad this is finally happening for you!

[mrsukyankee]

You are going to be a gorgeous bride!

[spankswife]

Gorgeous! Love the colors!!

[aprilsails]

Dress is finished!! Meggers5 is surprisingly calm for a bride who had a dress malfunction 1 day before her wedding.

The dress is beautiful and has the best seam construction I have ever seen. I honestly took a couple of pictures of how it was made so I could possibly copy the technique in the future.

[iamgrace]

I cannot wait to see pics of this wedding!!

[sangria]

Gorgeous! Can't wait to see pics
