Hi Girls! I have my first dress fitting today! Does any one have any advice or is there anything I should know or remember to ask? Thanks!

Just make sure they do what you want. If you want the dress to fall a certain way or if you want your bustel a certain way make sure they do it, even if they argue with you. My seamstress told me a hook and eye was better then the ties for the bussel and I ended up tripping over my dress all night to the point where it would fall just by me slow dancing.
Make sure to bring all undergarmets and shoes. Even if you have flat shoes to change into, bring them. Then you can see if the dress will be way too long or just the right length with any of your shoes.

Just make sure you bring everything you need and/or alternates! Also, take pics! i needed to reference my fitting pics multiple times.

make sure you can breathe in the dress (that it's not too tight) ... remember that you'll be wearing it the entire day! you don't want to suffer.
but also remember that you may have a hard time breathing because you'll be very nervous / excited to be wearing the dress

Oh and bring water and a snack (or just eat before)!!!!
i almost passed out because I had nothing to eat or drink all day. I was literally swaying while they measured me and pinned the dress. I had to sit down and drink water and eat a granola bar. It gets really hot under all those lights!!!
