Panic.

I thought of trying my dress for one last time this morning.

To my horror, I find the chest area too tight for me to even breathe normally! When I put it on, mum said the dress looked a little tight but I deniably said it fitted nicely.

I tried to breathe but it was a little suffocating although the last trial at the tailor's last week seemed ok. Then I realised it was due to the monthly biological cycle that will cause a slight enlargement in the chest area!

Thoughts ran through my mind - should I ignore and just bear with wearing the tight dress for a few hours or should I make a last-minute trip to the tailor and try to see if she can salvage the situation??

I was so afraid that the dress could not be loosen anymore and that's the end of it! So I panicked and started to cry discreetly, not to my parents' knowledge.

I just don't wish to wear something that I'm not comfortable in and fret throughout the whole event or worse, end up fainting at the ceremony. But I didn't know what to do! I think my mum kind of noticed something weird when she was about to leave for work but I brushed it off and said I was having flu :(

When Henry came back from work, I could not control myself anymore and started crying again. After a while, I called up the tailor and to my huge relief, she said I could bring it down for her to alter!

We took a cab down and waited for about an hour for the alteration. After she altered the first round, it was good but still a little tight so I requested for more leeway. Fortunately, when I tried it on the final round, it felt SO MUCH better!!!

Paid her an extra $10 for the alteration but it was well worth it. I'm glad it was discovered early and not on 24th morning when I put it on before the ROM starts.
