Empire State of Mind

I have some exciting news....Ryan and I have decided to go to New York to get my dress altered and bring it home with us!!! We are also bringing along Miss Madison for the road trip!!! Yay!

It was actually quite a stressful decision! Kleinfelds has a 3 day alterations policy so Sarah calls Kleinfelds and naively says, "I'd like to book a 3 days altering appointment please because I'll be in New York in March for my March Break."
Kleinfelds, "OK no problem, but in order to do it 3 days in a row there is an extra fee of $400 on top of your $500 alteration fee." 
Me, "WHAAAAAT????!!!!". Sniff

To make a long story short(er), after hyperventilating and some tears, I called back, spoke to SEVERAL different people but finally got in touch with a manager who was amazing and she had them agree to let me do a two day fitting and then releasing my dress to me for no extra cost. They usually want the 3 days to ensure their work because they are so picky but there is not much to be done so I am confident that they can do it. I only need it shortened and made tighter in the waist. Kleinfelds literally has the top seamstresses in the country so I'm told, so I know it will be all good!

NYC here we come!!!


I will be packing my little black dress of course


In New York,
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of,
There's nothing you can’t do,
Now you’re in New York,
These streets will make you feel brand new,
The lights will inspire you,
Lets here it for New York, New York, New York

(Thank you Mr.Jay Z, this song sums it up perfectly!)
