My dress is in, and wedding is 8/30. How much time should I give for fittings? I was going to schedule my first fitting in July, but my BM does not think that is enough time, as I have lost weight and they will have to take the dress in at least once. How many weeks out should I schedule?

Re: First Fitting- When to Schedule?
I read somewhere that you are supposed to allow 8 - 12 weeks at least...

I went for my first one at just under 5 weeks..I had a simple dress...so the alterations were simple...I wanted to push it off as long as possible so that I could lose a couple extra pounds

The seamstress will probably say, around 1 1/2 to 2 months, especially if you're still losing weight.
As for me, I waited until the last month, and I'm glad I did, I lost a lot this last month

Spoke w. my salon, and they said that 2 months was pretty safe, esp if I want to lose a few more pounds (who doesnt?) So I will make the appt for the beginning of July. Yay Liz on losing weight, you are going to look beautful. How are you feeling w. a week or so to go?

Karin Y told me 3 to 4 months before. but shes just one person so she may need more time. (unless she has help)
