SUIT! yessss!

[Gracie]

ok im so excited, i had to share! yesterday i got fitted for my new carl meyers suit and ordered it all! ahhh! lol what can i say? its my first custom suit thats actually custom made for me. i'm pretty pumped.
also...it was so much fun. lol hearing the guys that work there bickering over which pattern was better and making fun of eachother. it was like insanity. also i got to get caught up on all of the gossip and news for the upcoming season (you know...who has new horses, new riders, ppl changing divisions, behind the scenes stuff...like whose dating who and whose mad at who. lol.)...and let me tell u it was interesting. i felt like it should have been a tv show.
so anyways as soon as it comes in (which will be by april 1st), i will post pictures. &if i think of it, i'll post the swatches i have now. its kind of a creamy brown w/ really thin cream and pink pinstripes...and then the vest and the shirts...while if i describe those i wont do them any justice so i'll just wait til i have pictures.
ok phew, i can calm down now that i got that out. lol i told other ppl but they couldnt quite share my enthusiasm since theyre not horse people.

so to try and make this something that can actually be a topic....anyone else have any suit stories to share?

That's awesome!! I can't wait to see pictures and I bet it will look gorgeous against Bella's beautiful color!

When I got measured for my first suit, I was so excited that I was shaking and they had to take all of the measurements twice!

[Gracie]

lol i think if it had really sunk in for me at that point that i was getting a suit then i probably would have been shaking too, but when i walked out of there i started dancing around and was like woooo new suit!
idk if this is just me, but getting measured is so awkward.... i feel like i should be used to it since i used to have to get dance costumes made a lot...and then i was measured for jods at one point...but still....lol.

Lol, I know! I think it is kind of weird too! I hate how sometimes the person measuring will be an umm-hmm sound and you want to know what they are thinking! And then you drive yourself crazy wondering if they said that because you are fat or what?! Lol!

[Gracie]

oh i kno!
orrr like when they have to measure u more than once and kind of have scrunch their foreheads up... then im like what??? was that not a normal measurement?? and then i wonder about it and feel all self conscious.
all i know is that im not mature enough to handle the measuring b/c i think i nearly started laughing like 5 different times. lol.

The first time I got measured for a suit, I was, like, eight . . . LOL, I can't really remember much. I know the place was pretty interesting, and I got candy. WoOt.

Be very careful when getting your suit dry-cleaned; go to a place that you can trust. We got my last custom suit dry-cleaned at this one place, and they washed it instead and it shrunk! They refused to admit that they did it and kept ignoring our calls . . .

Anywho, very cool! You'll have to get pics of it; sounds like an awesome suit!
