Falina, tell her that you need to see her in it so you can see if it needs to be steamed.  I remember the night before my son&#39;s wedding - me and my SIL spent 2 1/2 hours steaming my future (now Ex) DIL&#39;s wedding gown.  It had such a long train that my niece had to put it on and stand up on a ladder for all that time.  Leah (former DIL) came in while Rachel was wearing her dress and she about flipped out because Rachel had her dress on.  I guess I can understand but then I asked Leah if she wanted to stand there wearing it all that time and she did not.  I wish we had done it before, but I didn&#39;t think of it until after the rehearshal dinner.  The wedding was in our backyard, so as she would be getting ready in our bedroom, and we had bought the gown, it had just been left here after puchased.
