Has anyone heard of this....

My wedding is Nov. 7th. Have my 2nd fitting October 2nd. The ladies at the botique have told me that as of Oct.2nd. I can't lose anymore weight or they will have to charge me alterations fee a 2nd time ($250)

Is this normal???? Cause it sounds a bit OFF to me. .....

Re: Fittings

that sounds rediculous and i have to say we have the same date and weird but i have my 3rd fitting that day same day and everything lol

Re: Fittings

that is ridiculous! my sister in law had a dress fitting the same week. NO additional fee! unbelievable! i would talk to them and have those modications changed. the whole point of a custom fit dress is to get alterations done the week OF! so many brides lose weight at the last minute!

Re: Fittings

I haven't heard of charging twice for alterations, but it is best to try to keep your weight as stable as possible between your first and last fittings, that way they'll have less work to do (hence, less money for you).

Re: Fittings

That actually does sound right because they have to mess with the material and it is a pain to alter a dress that is too big.

Re: Fittings

I don't think that's right. I lost 20 lbs. in the 2 months before the wedding- ALL of it was after my first fitting. The seamstress remarked how great I looked with the weight loss and asked at my second fitting (and final fitting) if I planned to lose anymore weight. I told her about how much and she said no problem, she'd pin it extra tight in anticipation of the weight loss. We did have to pay the max for alterations, but not extra.
