Dress Fitting Schedule

Ok so how far in advance should you do your first fitting, and what is the ideal amount of days prior to the wedding that you should do your last fitting??

Re: Dress Fitting Schedule

be careful with the last one...i would schedule as close to the wedding as you could...many brides loose alot of weight due to stress be4 the wedding...my cousins dress didnt fit the day of because she lost a lot of weight during the week!

I would try to schedule your last fitting as close as possible to your wedding

Re: Dress Fitting Schedule

My wedding isn't until June but my gown came in and I want to do a fitting ASAP. I just want to make sure everything is ok with the gown, that the hollow to hem came out right, no damage, make sure it fits, like if it's too small and I need to lose a ton of weight I need to know that. I always want to figure out whether I will wear a bra, so I can get that as well. I probably won't go for another fitting until months later after that, and the final a few days before, no sooner than a week.

ITA! I'm not getting married until next May, but if my dress is in this April when I go home, I'm trying it on because I need to know how it fits my body as it is now... and also bc I may not be back in NY for another fitting until very close to the wedding (i'll be living overseas) and want to get an idea of how it'll really fit.

I totally agree with this...my last dress fitting was four days before my wedding and the day of my dress was too big! Thank god for a wonderful bridal attendant who was able to pin the gown to my long line bra. For this reason I would not recommend having cups sewn directly into the gown unless you have a corset back gown.

Most bridal shops will let you go in and try the gown on without having a fitting.

Re: Dress Fitting Schedule

I Just went for my first today.
My 2nd is on 1/28 (my wedding is 2/12)

Although I did want to do my 2nd fitting on 2/4, they didn't think it was a good idea becuase it was too close to the wedding and God forbid they had to correct something.

I pick up my gown 1 day before my wedding
