Fitting and Choosing

Steve Harrington x female reader (y/n)

Word Count: 1038

Warnings: mentions of parental abandonment, weddings, wedding dress fittings, Steve Harrington being sweet is a warning, some fluff, humour, Eddie being Eddie, emotional adults.

A/N: The prompt foundry have put together a challenge list for Firsts. Day 5 was first fitting and it got me thinking about how the 80s was influenced by Dynasty and the work of fantastic designer Nolan Miller. Add it to Steve trying to get the guys to pick something for them to wear on the day and I put this together. I wanted to give Dustin’s mum and Karen Wheeler a role too because I feel like they need a bit of character exposure as they aren’t always given enough except to be shown as mums who don’t do much. I feel like Karen is the type to know fashion and Claudia could be an amazing seamstress.

Y/N turned to look at her reflection in Claudia's full length mirror. She bit her lip nervously. It was definitely the dress style she wanted but it needed a lot of work.

Claudia and Karen both clapped excitedly with a shared vision of what to do. Karen pulled out her folder while Claudia set out her dress maker pins and fabric scraps.

"Y/N this dress is going to look stunning" Karen squealed showing her the designs she had done for dress detail that she and Claudia felt were achievable. “I listened to what you said about the Nolan Miller designs on Dynasty with Fallon’s two dresses and Amanda’s dress when she married that prince” Karen’s excitement was tangible.

“Oh that was such an exciting episode not knowing who was alive or dead” Claudia chimed in as she checked Karen’s designs too. They were debating whether to change the sleeves and make them puffy or go with an off shoulder look. They had plenty of options as the top of the dress had t-shirt neckline and short sleeves that could easily be adapted. Dustin came out of his room to get some juice and stopped to look at Y/N and some of the Nolan Miller designs Karen spread out. A cheeky smile spread across his face.

“Oh Y/N be careful, mom will make you look like a meringue if you let her decide” he teased. Claudia gasped and looked at Dustin like he’d wounded her.

“Young man if you have nothing nice to say then don’t say anything” she reprimanded.

“Girls dream of their weddings from a young age and their dress has to be perfect” Karen added.

It had been an hour, Dustin was getting fed up hearing about ruffles, pleats, rhinestones, sequins, ribbons and fabric. He’d been roped into helping as Karen sketched Y/N’s vision based on Karen and Claudia’s ideas while Claudia chalked and pinned pieces on the dress as Y/N wore it.

A knock at the door gave Dustin the reprieve he needed. Opening the door, his smile grew instantly.

“Henderson!” Steve greeted with Eddie. He let them in only to have Karen panic and usher Y/N into Claudia’s room as it’s known to be bad luck for a groom to see the bride in her dress before the wedding. Steve looked baffled.

“Y/N are you OK?” his concern echoed in his voice.

“Steve she’s being fitted for her dress, why are you here?” Karen asked.

“I brought some magazines for the Dustin and Eddie to see which style fits better and talk colour of suits for the wedding” he answered. Karen huffed and looked to Y/N who indicated she was tired and figured they had enough to go on.

“OK well Y/N will be changed and out of the room to see you shortly” she responded as Steve sat back down and started sharing stuff with Eddie and Dustin.

They were arguing colour and fit within no time. Dustin opting for bright colours, Eddie suggesting tuxedo t-shirts as cost effective and comfortable only to be met with Dustin arguing they are tacky which surprised Steve.

“What?” Dustin asked looking at Steve.

“I never thought you saw them as tacky” Steve spoke still astounded.

“Steve, you’re getting married. You’ve asked Eddie and myself to be your best men, I am not going to turn your big day into a joke” he replied earning a hair ruffle from Eddie for sounding sappy.

“It’s Y/N’s day though,” Steve reiterated, “she told me since she was 8 she’d been dreaming of the perfect dress. How the day would go and because her parents are refusing to share in the planning and believe they won’t attend due to work, I want to make sure she knows how special she is” he revealed with a solemn look, eyes almost filling with tears.

“But it’s our day Steve” she surprised him as she stepped over Eddie to join her fiancé.

“Y/N, I had no idea that your parents were...”

“It’s OK Karen. You and Claudia more than make up for it and I wouldn’t want it any other way’ she thanked the two woman who couldn’t help but shed a few tears.

“What about this?” Eddie asked pointing to a leather looking blazer. Steve turned to look at him with disbelief?

“Really Eddie? This is a wedding not some rock band reunion” Steve’s response was not meant to be as blunt as it sounded as Eddie feigned offense at his words dramatically clutching his chest and falling to the floor only to earn chuckles from Dustin and Y/N while Karen and Claudia shook their heads amused and went off to discuss how they were going to work on Y/N’s dress.

Dustin got the attention of the others as he jolted upright and shouted “a ha!” as he turned the page in the magazine he was looking at. Eddie sat up and Steve sat forward as Dustin slammed the magazine down on the coffee table eagerly pointing at a set of men all dressed in matching suits. They were black but the collar and lapels were satin and a different colour with ties that matched the lapels.

“These come in a range of colours. Steve, you said black is smart and Eddie you like black too but look at the collar, there’s colours and patterns to choose from” he was so proud of himself, grinning from ear to ear. Y/N winked at him thankfully for being a mediator and having a good eye for detail.

“I... I mean they look good and we can always co-ordinate the colour with the bridesmaids. My cousin did something similar at her first wedding,” Eddie let on, Dustin looked at him with confusion, “she’s been married five times” Eddie continued just to answer the unasked question.

“Move over Elizabeth Taylor” Y/N joked getting a play barge and girly giggle from Eddie.

“We could all have collars in a colour or pattern that suits our personality, that way we can wear them more than once,” Steve added, “good find Henderson” he felt relieved because first fittings and picking outfits are renowned for being a nightmare. At least they were all on the same wavelength for the wedding.
